Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (2013)

One gamepad, two brothers: the left stick and trigger move the older boy, the right stick and trigger the younger, and every puzzle on their journey to find a cure for their dying father needs both. For the first half-hour it feels like patting your head and rubbing your stomach; then it becomes second nature, and the story makes more of that than you'd expect. It takes about three hours, the difficulty is gentle, and a keyboard misses the point entirely. This entry is Starbreeze's 2013 original, directed by Josef Fares, rather than the 2024 remake.
