Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons celebrates 10 years since its release on Xbox 360, and for all of us who didn’t enjoy it, this remake is a blessing.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake It comes, above all, for all those who did not play it 10 years ago. And the title has received a big change in its graphic section. But let’s leave this for last. Let’s start as if we were new and I am, because at the time I didn’t have the opportunity to play the original.

The narrative without words

For those who have not played the original title, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, to say that both, old version and new are equal in narrative. A marvel. And this is something difficult to understand at first when the characters participating in this story babble intelligible language. At first glance, it may seem that the story will be the least important thing in the title as it does not have dialogue, but give it time because that is not the case.

Rarely has more been said without saying a single word. And it is that, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake takes that saying to the extreme that “A picture is worth 1000 words.” But here we are not talking about image, but about careful animation wrapped in a great soundtrack, words are unnecessary. And the story, identical in every way to that of the original, will leave your heart aching and your stomach queasy.

Known history

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake It crudely represents a fantastic and mythological world full of dangers, challenges and situations to resolve. The adventure transports us to a world where two brothers embark on a mission to obtain healing water from a magical tree to save their father from certain death.

Two brothers, in a difficult company, but thanks to their enormous heart and ability to collaborate, they will overcome hundreds of dangers and difficult situations to reach their goal. And it is that Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake It is that, a story of cooperation and resolution of situations with small touches of action. For those who have not played it, it is a living puzzle where everything has a meaning and a reason.

Lame gameplay

The story, as we have said, remains intact, as does the gameplay, we are going to find the same as in the game. Xbox 360, which was not bad, but we missed some innovation in this aspect. Above all, if we talk about the local cooperative mode, something that right now falls short and an online cooperative would not have been bad at all.

Obvious improvements

What he has had Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is a full review is the section graphic y sonorous. If we start with the visuals, the game is completely different, it has nothing to do with Xbox360 graphics. It looks incredibly great, the work here is enormous, it is not a mere remaster where textures are replaced. It is noted that the modeling of the scenarios is created from scratch with Unreal Engine 5 and faithfully imitating those of the original game.

This on the one hand is good, we have 1:1 fidelity, but on the other hand we have missed adding new parts, or some extra locations, more secrets or alternative paths. All this has been left in the pipeline.

In the sound section the improvement is also notable. The soundtrack has been rerecorded with an orchestra, which you can already imagine the result both in atmosphere and immersion, a real joy. However, no new topics have been added. This, together with the work they have done in the graphic section, leaves us with a title that, when placed next to, for example, the Remakes of Resident Evilwe could qualify as Remaster +.

CONCLUSION

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake It’s almost a 10 game if you’ve never played it before. It has very good graphics, great music and innovative and challenging gameplay that, together with its masterful story, offers us an almost perfect product.

However, for all of you who have played the original title, this Remake will be very little known to you. To begin with, the gameplay has not been revised, it presents the same mechanics and therefore the same problems as before. The levels and puzzles are exactly the same, we will find the exact same scenarios as the original version, without any new additions. Furthermore, it squeaks a lot that in these times, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake Only count on a local cooperative and that playing online is impossible.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake It is a must-buy for those who have never played it and a bad remake for those who have enjoyed it before.
