The story telling without any English dialog is absolutely amazing. I honestly wasn't expecting to feel emotionally connected to the characters. I can't recommend this game enough. My only advise is don't play when you're sad.

I bought this game near its launch and have owned it for over 10 years now. I made my initial playthrough all of those years ago but never 100% the achievements. I was scrolling through my library recently and decided to pick this game up once more and fully complete it. The story is absolutely phenomenal, the gameplay is smooth, the puzzles are fun and engaging, overall this game is absolutely delightful. And being able to complete it in about 4 hours start to finish is about perfect for this specific game. It plays more like a movie and 4 hours just works for it. If you are looking for a quick game to play entirely through in one sitting that has an amazing story and engaging gameplay then this one is for you. They did release a "remake" of this game last year that is probably exactly the same just prettier, however I'd argue the original art style and gameplay makes this game much warmer for the heart. However I didn't play the remake so I cannot say that confidently. If you are looking at this game, understand it is so good they literally made a remake for it 11 years later. It IS short, but it is SO good. After a decade I never forgot the original story and playing through it again to 100% completion was a very enjoyable experience. 10/10

Great game! I've played this a couple times now and just came back to it recently to get some achievements. The story and cinematics are super worth it. The entire game has a sad theme to it and does a great job in its story telling. This might be an old game but it's worth a playthrough. The puzzles aren't difficult at all and fairly straightforward. It's mainly about the journey, story, and cinematic. I definitely recommend playing this or the remake.

I love this game. The graphics feel like I'm in the 2010s. The gameplay is great, but it gets annoying sometimes when I play with one controller with the two characters at the same time. Some of these games have graphic content, just a bit of detail. The graphics were amazing. I love the story and some of this story is sad. I highly recommend playing with your controller. If you don't have it. Just play with your keyboard. Some achievements in this game are pretty easy. I really do this original style than the remake. The Original graphics is making me feels nostalgic. The Brothers remake was little bit laggy sometimes. I did set low graphics setting, and the game is still laggy and slow. Sorry guys, the original is better
