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.
Little Nightmares
Little Nightmares is a dark and atmospheric puzzle-adventure game that has a rather nice Tim Burton style and vibe, as well as a really deep story that will force you to figure it out by making connections between the many symbolisms in the game. In this game, you play as a yellow-hooded child called Six who happened to be trapped in a nightmare called the Maw. You'll need to help Six escape from the terrifying place at any cost!Little Nightmares has a really amazing feeling overall, but it has quite a number of flaws. The controls for instance is incredibly clunky, resulting in more deaths than necessary frankly. The game's autosave points are too rare and far in between, making the game rather frustrating to play at times. Of course, the most important of all, the game has a fairly short adventure and thus, the price it is asking for might just be a bit too expensive. But if you do want to try this game, you may want to buy the game during a promotion.
