The mix of story and gameplay mechanics here is truly profound. The brothers in Brothers have a really deep bond. The older brother really carries the younger brother since the younger one cant do half of the things in the game. He spends a lot of time hanging on to his brother and struggling with the fact that he cant swim. The game makes you feel that through controlling them together at the same time using both analog sticks.

This game seems to be about loss but its ultimately about growth as the younger brother goes from being a burden to slowly being able to take care of himself throughout his journey. This culminates in what is probably the most powerful moment I can think of in video games thanks to the interaction between story and gameplay. Brothers is a short, atmospheric game that can only truly work once, but even seeing it through on successive playthroughs, theres a craft and a beauty to this game thats undeniable.
