"Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons remake adds little beyond updated graphics and a local co-op mode - new fans will discover a classic, fans of the original may feel short-changed."

Originally developed by Starbreeze Studios and released in 2013, this modern remake from Italian developer Avantgarden S.r.l. switches from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 5 – adding a high-fidelity, 4K lick of paint to a timeless classic that still packs an emotional punch over a decade later.
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is a fine game, and one I recommend playing. What disappoints me most is just how little was done to this version to set itself apart from the original. The gameplay remains untouched, other than a completely clunky and bizarre co-op mode. The main changes were an enhanced soundtrack and graphics, but the large majority of the game is exactly the same as it was before. If you’ve never played this classic previously, then Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is definitely worth your time. On the other hand, if you have played the original before, then there’s little reason for you to check out this remake, unless you simply feel like experiencing the game again."
"Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake" is an heartwarming revisit of a beloved classic. Finalboss review this 2024 version
