I put it right up there with Brothers in terms of just being an almost perfectly-executed game. Inside - Great side-scroller puzzle type game with a super strong aesthetic and atmosphere. I'll have to convince my wife to play them with me one of these days.Īs far as recommendations, a few that I would sort of consider similar in their overall feel to Brothers (mainly in terms of simplicity of gameplay combined with a strong narrative or atmosphere): I haven't played either of those yet but those are both games designed to be played together by two people. The same developer made a couple of other games: A Way Out and more recently It Takes Two. It's already a bit tricky controlling two characters at once and I'd imagine the 8-directional limit you have with a keyboard would only make it trickier.īrothers is still one of my favorite games though all these years later. Glad you enjoyed it! I agree that it's definitely made for a controller. I'd love to get some recs for similar things if anyone has some. I very much enjoy and appreciate the space it sits in - somewhere between game and film, but with actual gameplay - even if it's easy. I wish there weren't the hanged men and the giants' corpses, or I'd be excited to let my 8 year old play it. Beats the hell out of double fisting WASD and arrow keys. It was (coincidentally) absolutely made for the Switch - whether one or two players. I wish I owned it on Switch instead of PC. My wife was searching for games she might like and found it, and I was like, "I'm pretty sure I own that," lol. I got it years ago, back when you could get five good stale games for a buck from Humble, lol. I had to man the controls any time anything interesting was going on and, while it's not particularly challenging, it is kind of a mindfuck sometimes coordinating the two characters. I just played this game w my wife who is emphatically not a gamer.
