Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons vs High School Life
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.
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
