He went through feelings like pride, joy, sadness, wonder and quite some thrill. I helped him undertand the dark parts and was pleased to see that he understood and accepted - and even appreciated the deeper meaning of the game.

I played through the game myself before deciding to sit through it while my seven year old son did. During the short three to four hours it takes to play through the player bonds with the brothers and their dire situation, while experiencing breathtaking vistas, heartwarming scenes, and some really dark material at points. The main characters set out on a fantastic journey to save their father, who has fallen ill.

Not many games manage to tell a story as convincing as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. There is especially a scene where a lot of blood and bodies can be seen and while the game was otherwise alright to play while my kids (7 and 5 years old) were watching, this was a scene I didn't let them watch from the side. You should play this with your child instead of letting him play it by himself, otherwise he/she might not be able to handle all the situations and feelings the game will raise. All along the way, you will feel emotions of support, sorrow and excitement just to name a few as you walk this adventure with the brothers.Ī word of warning, though. Even in the beginning when it is shown why the little brother is afraid of water it creates a strong connection with the characters and their behavior. The two brothers in this game offer great role models in how they support each other through many exciting scenarios that don't really involve violence but overcoming obstacles in the environment.Īlso, this game handles feelings very well. This seems like a game that encompasses much of what childhood adventures outside with friends are about.
