GET THIS GAME IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!

This is the reason why I love indie games. They're able to put in unique, awesome gameplays and in this instance, the developers are able to incorporate the controller itself as part of the storytelling mechanic. You're gonna get some hand cramps when you play this one but it's all part of the experience; the struggle of the two brothers through their journey to save their father...

Game time wise, you're probably going to be able to get 3 to 6 hours of gameplay from this, depending on how well your hands work in tandem... heheheh. Personally. this 3D platformer isn't hard at all, just that awkward feeling the first time you encounter a new "puzzle" in the game. You control 2 brothers, the elder with the left stick and trigger and the younger with the right stick and trigger. The control IS that simple but boy did they manage to weave it well with the character-driven storytelling. The story itself is nothing to write home about but it was an enjoyable ride and I did shed a couple of tears. This is the type of game that you only play once or in one sitting but it's the type that has an impact, either emotionally or one derived from the unique game design.

The game's environment in my opinion is beautiful and when I first started the game, I thought I got a foreign language copy till I realised the characters are all talking in gibberish on purpose. The same way the Sims series did it which is a good way to save some cash on language localization, especially for this game. The only text I noticed in the game is in the main menu which says a lot considering how many people are giving this game a good score/review. Watch or read the various reviews on the internet if you're in doubt if it's for you.

5/5 in my opinion. Get it. Don't forget a gamepad.
