Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake Reviews
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is a fine game, and one I recommend playing. What disappoints me most is just how little was done to this version to set itself apart from the original. The gameplay remains untouched, other than a completely clunky and bizarre co-op mode. The main changes were an enhanced soundtrack and graphics, but the large majority of the game is exactly the same as it was before.
Attractive, eminently playable, and available on the current major platforms, Brothers A Tale of Two Sons Remake is easy to recommend to newcomers. While it provides no stern challenge nor a lengthy campaign, it retains an affecting story which is carried without (comprehensible) dialogue. Those who own the original may think twice about picking up this remake, however. Brothers A Tale of Two Sons Remake adds little that is truly new, outside of a well-executed new coat of paint on top of a thoroughly solid core experience.
This remake still has a lot of heart and is worth playing for anyone that missed it originally. And at just a couple hours in length, it's not going to hurt the backlog all that much.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake for the PS5 is a great way to experience this classic indie on modern consoles. With its new visuals, creative gameplay mechanics, and deeply moving narrative, it offers an unforgettable gaming experience that resonates long after the credits roll. Whether you're playing solo or with a friend, the bond between the brothers will tug at your heartstrings, reminding you of the power of love and connection. If you own a PS5, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is an essential addition to your gaming library.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake misses the chance to be a more relevant and creative reinterpretation, focusing only on the visual redesign. In the end, the tale of the union between two brothers to save their father remains charming and cozy, a story that can be enjoyed playing solo or as a couple. Even though the second option makes gameplay even simpler, the best way to get into the fantasy is up to each person's taste.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is an ideal opportunity for gamers who may have missed the original release, but it’s also worth another playthrough for those who enjoyed the 2013 version. While the game developed by Starbreeze remains a classic and has aged decently well, Avantgarden’s remake improves upon it in nearly every way to bring the delightful, sometimes emotional odyssey to modern platforms.
This remake doesn't offer much new to fans of the original except a shiny new exterior, but if you haven't played the original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, then this remake is worth playing to experience a short, but packed, fantasy adventure at least once.
Brothers is already a very nice game in the original as well. If you're looking for a straight-forward, simple drama story that you can put aside and want to see it with polished and great graphics, this remake is perfect for you. If you haven't heard of the game before and haven't played it, this remake is a great excuse to taste this adventure.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake takes you on an unforgettable journey that simply should not be missed. The enhancements, including the new local co-op option, the revamped graphics and the re-recorded orchestral soundtrack make this already exceptional indie masterpiece even better.
This retelling of the 2013 game stays largely faithful to the source material and adds some valuable improvements. If you've already experienced the original I think you can sit this one out; but newcomers should experience this remake at least once.
The original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is one of the greatest indie games of all time. With its poignant story, varied gameplay and unique mechanics, it is truly a special title. The Remake perfectly captures these aspects and faithfully modernizes the aesthetics. Although the core experience is preserved, there aren’t enough improvements or extras to encourage returning players, however, it is a must for anyone who missed the initial release.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is another example of how remasters should be put together. Unlike the latest Tomb Raider remaster, the loving tale of the two brothers aged well and remained just as impressive as it was in 2013, serving a tale full of emotion.
And that’s perhaps how best to sum up my experience with this remake of Brothers – something is off. It’s the same great game at its core, but as a remake, it doesn’t do enough to justify itself, given that its headline addition of co-op play strips away the original’s biggest selling point. Even when played solo, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d rather be playing the original with its more fitting, painterly look. Having said that, Brothers is still a fantastic experience, and if this remake shines a spotlight on it again and attracts a new generation of gamers to Naia and Naiee’s touching tale, then that can only be a good thing. The story remains as poignant now as it did in 2013, and when enjoyed solo, Brothers continues to be a delight to engage with due to its novel dual protagonist set-up. On that basis, I’m glad this exists, even if, as an overall product and an attempt to reintroduce this world, it feels a touch misguided.
Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons is a very beautiful game, and it has its own magic that makes you immersed in the experience, and all of this in a story that is only two hours long. As for the remake, it does not offer anything significant other than the dazzling graphic level, or the presence of a cooperative play mode, so this is The experience is not encouraging if you want huge changes, but it is suitable for anyone who did not play the older version.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is an interesting experience for those who have not just played the first rendition of the game, and the overall experience is a roller coaster of feelings, visuals, and scenarios that the player can be enthralled with, ranging from sad to funny or even dark. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is full of adventure and feelings for the whole game.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake impresses with its visual upgrades and co-op mode, yet its unchanged gameplay and performance issues question its necessity for those familiar with the original. Best suited for newcomers, this visually enhanced journey offers little new for returning players, making it a beautiful but non-essential revisit.
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons was already an incredible game. The original graphics were just dated enough that the larger, higher resolution screens we have available to us today were causing some of the beauty to be lost, unable to stand the test of time. The updated version not only adds to the incredible scenery but also allows the nuance of expression that adds to the already amazing storytelling.
Despite technical hiccups, the remake of "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" emerges as a superior iteration of its predecessor, thanks to significant enhancements and robust performance in key areas such as story and narrative. This version delivers a memorable and delightful journey for both veterans of the original game and newcomers alike, offering engaging experiences for solo and duo players. Consequently, it's fair to conclude that the Brothers remake ascends several notches above the original, marking it as one of the few titles that triumphantly outshine their originals.

You can tell it was not necessary, and you'd probably be right, but Brothers remake is a love letter to one of the most heartwarming titles of the last decade, and this version is the one new players shoud look to if they're willing to give this game a try.
