Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

[Thompy]

This is garnering praise as being one of the best games of 2013. TotalBiscuit has declared it his new favourite game of all time (for whatever his opinion is worth to you, that's still pretty noteworthy). John Walker wasn't quite so gushing about it though. Apparently while the gameplay is just good the locales and moments of story revelation raise it up. I won't buy it yet but I'd be interested in 5punkers thoughts if any of you get around to it.

I played through this with a good friend of mine a few weeks ago (we took turns controlling the brothers - a good way to play it I think). A very good game, compelling (and sometimes absolutely crushingly emotional) story and many innovative mechanics at work. Absolutely buy and play this. Buy it twice in fact.

Someone from Giantbomb was raving about it as well.
