Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons vs Risk of Rain
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.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
