Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Sweden-based Hazelight has gained acclaim for producing multi-genre co-op games A Way Out (two men try to escape prison) and It Takes Two (a married couple tries to navigate divorce). But studio head Josef Fares came to prominence before that, with Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. It’s a third-person adventure game with puzzle elements. The older brother has more heft, and can move objects and such. The younger brother, meanwhile, can fit into tight spaces. A non-conventional control scheme demands you control both at the same time, which, while confusing, also makes Brothers one of the rare games that makes you reconsider how games can work.
