Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons vs Marble Viola's Quest
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a heartwarming puzzle-adventure game that details the perilous journey of two brothers who are on a quest to find and bring back the "Water of Life" to their ailing father. Aside from being incredibly tear-jerking, especially for players who have brothers whom they deeply love, the game also features a unique cooperative gameplay in a single player format that will require you to control both brothers, usually at the same time, to solve a puzzle... though at times, you may need to separate the brothers so that they can both proceed to the next part of the story. The story in this game is also not shown through a wall of text or dialogue but instead, the emotions and are poignantly displayed through the actions of the characters and the visualization of their thoughts such as the part where they saw their dead mother.With gorgeous graphics, melodious music, a stunning world, and quirky characters, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons single-handedly proved that games can be an art-form. If you're ready for an adventure that will leave you sad enough to shed at least a tear, this is the game you need. You can get the game on Steam or on the mobile platforms, Android and iOS.
Marble Viola's Quest
Marble Viola's Quest is a casual marble shooter game that puts you in the shoes of Viola, who sets off on a quest to stop the evil Desmond the weasel from stealing all the magic from the marbles. This game features the usual gameplay of aiming and shooting marbles to make matches of 3 or more marbles of the same color. You can tap on the shooter to switch marbles, and there are the usual power-ups that will randomly appear (though they vanish fairly quickly) where you can collect to trigger the chain reverse, stop, or slowed-down effect.Interestingly, this game provides you with a number of additional aid in the form of fireflies, dynamites or even special Chakra-infused marbles that can blast away bothersome marbles. These helpful features will definitely come in handy because well, the game does have some pretty challenging level goals and obstacles.
What I really like about this game though is definitely the boss fights. It may not be unique but it’s still truly intense as you try to make a gap wide enough for you to shoot a marble through to hit Desmond the weasel. You’ll also gradually need to make more hits for Desmond to go away, so there’s your challenge, right there!
Marble Viola's Quest is definitely one of those rare, fun yet challenging marble shooters that may rival iconic games like Zuma. The game's completely free to play and it is available on Google Play.
