    Hi everyone,
    I thought I would post this brilliant but unknown title.

    Been playing it for the last week or so and boy what an adventure.
    Here is the metacritic link for those wondering
    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for PC Reviews - Metacritic

    What is unique about it is ambidextrous play. I am constantly using both left and right hand play with the keyboard which makes your brain work even better. The graphics are with the unreal engine and the challenges and puzzles are sublime with rope swinging and other unique puzzles.

    Anyone else played it? I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and curious to hear others opinions.

    :)

    An 8.6 user score is pretty good. The graphics look good. It seems you play two brothers, each with strengths and weaknesses, and you control them at the same time. But there is more than just that gimic. It seems like it will pull you in emotionally. I say seems because I haven't played it. Overall it looks good, and I am picky about the games I play.

    Yes it's a rather emotional ending to say the least. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would rate it in top 5 games for 2013.

    Will definitely look into this game, thanks for the recommendation! But, do have to ask what else would be in your Top 5 for 2013?

    Crysis 3, tomb raider, remember me, metro last light, and waiting for bf4 and batman. Would also love to see GTA V but not holding my breath.
    This brothers title although not a fps shooter really adds something new to gaming which I thoroughly enjoyed.
