I went back to play it through one more time to get all the puzzles done. It really is one of my best experiences with gaming the last years and Imy emotions ran wild once more. Love this game despite it being short.

I will definitely replay it again soon Very Happy Glad to have played this gem just before the end of the year. Gotta love Starbreeze Studios for making such a game. I already liked them because of Riddick and The Darkness but this is for sure their best game until now Smile

I don't know if you know this but the Starbreeze that made Riddick and Darkness and the Starbreeze that made Brothers don't have much in common.

Brothers' director, lead gameplay programmer, two of the three programmers, the engine programmers, the art director, the senior artist, the lead level designer, the technical animator and more have not worked on a Starbreeze game other than, maybe, Syndicate.

A few of the lower ranked Riddick/Darkness era artists etc remain there, but the vast majority of the leads have left. The guys calling the shots are almost entirely new.

Much of the leads/core crew of the Starbreeze of old have formed MachineGames and are now making the new Wolfenstein. That is most definitely a game that can be advertised "from the creators of the Riddick games and The Darkness".. Brothers on the other hand... not really. Smile

Yeah, this studio should definitely abandon the FPS genre and focus on this kind of unique blending of genres and storytelling. Razz I want more of this and less pew pew on-rail derpsolis garbage Mad

Just imagine if they had gone with 'from the creators of the 'reboo Syndibloom!', people would have automatically activated the notsureifwant_mode Very Happy

What a great and beautiful albeit very short game. Amazing usage of Unreal Engine 3, such gorgeous visuals. Loved the simple but effective story and the gameplay at times reminded me of Another World, though this seem a very original concept that I personally hadn't seen in any other games before. It's not my GOTY but certainly one of the little gems we've had in this relatively deficient year in gaming.

Anyway, I hope for a sequel starring...

Oh, no i didn't know that.... But in that case it's maybe an even bigger achievement since Syndicate was really bad. My eyes still need to recover from that amount of bloom exposure Crying or Very sad I'm also looking forward to Wolfenstein in that case. I was already interested in it but considering it is being made by the "original starbreeze team" it can only become better than i thought Very Happy

Very Happy I'm really glad they didn't go that way.

@4treyu: Agreed, would be nice indeed to have a sequel like that, even if it will probably be less dramatic and "powerful" for the obvious reasons. Unless they decide to pull a RR Martin! Laughing

just finished it... really enjoyable game! i loved it, and im glad it went the way it did.

game kinda did take a while for me to warm up to it through... i was tramping through some caves and wondering 'eh.. why am i doing this'.. but i dunno, at some point - probably the castle - i think it really started to become something more wonderous to me, and by the end i was glad to be playing it and sorry it was coming to an end, so yeah... great game! a real surprise.

What a fantastic little game, completely flew under the radar for me. Was lucky to pick it up for $3 during the steam summer sale, and I'm very glad I did.

Good story, fun game-play, some decent puzzles, and just plain good all around. Overall great game, very happy with this one Smile

I've had a very good time playing the game, got sucked in into the atmosphere and my brain made a connection to those feelings with that room.

So in your brain would that tail belong to the father?

Or are we talking of a homo erotic tale between two sons?
