    Unnecessary remake of an already amazing game. It's literally the exact same game, nothing new at all (come on, give us something). The graphics of the old game holds up well enough. If you've played the old game, do not bother with this. If you're playing it for the first time then sure, buy this as opposed to the older as it has better graphics.

    I never realized pressing a button could make me cry until this game. It's the best game that I never want to play again. It wrecked me. Aww sh*t… time to cry again. “Remakes don’t add anything new.” —> adds something new “No not like that!” Wahhh wahhh wahhhhhh! People shouldn't enjoy this game because it's not how l originally played it! Wahhhhhh! As someone who played the original, trust me when I tell you this …

    I played the original game in 2016. Absolutely loved it back then. Got my heart utterly shattered back then, too. The only difference with this remake is that I got my heart broken in HD instead. Still loved the story. Still made me cry. At the same scene, at the same action. Despite me already anticipating it. However, the last parts where they made us use both control to help Naiee with the puzzles hit so much …

    Nice-looking game that handles well on a one-handed controller. But the poor optimization is a downer—bugs everywhere.

    *** I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WHAT I AM NOT RECOMMENDING *** This game, beyond the original, has the offering of a Co-Op version, thus being the main draw. I am not recommending you play it this way, especially for the first time. There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the game that says that this game was originally intended as a single player experience, and BOY DOES IT SHOW. I had already played the original version of the game many years ago and enjoyed it, so when I saw that this game had…

    If Steam had a "neutral" or "informative" option for reviews i would have definitely selected that for this game. While it's great (and rare) to see a remake fully respect the original title without reinventing the wheel, unnecessary redesigns, changes to iconic scenes and characters, and reinterpreted or twisted themes, i also think the art direction is a downgrade compared to the original. The remake is obviously much more advanced on a technical level, but it fails to capture the aesthetic…

    After I played I went back and played the original to make sure I wasn’t missing something. What happened with the character design here? Why was the hair fibrous? The full overhaul of this game makes everything bigger, more detailed, with more technical panache, but not enough panache to meaningfully outclass the visuals of a game originally released on the Xbox 360. Especially when every scenario plays out identically. Everything is bigger, which makes any sequence you can fail harder, but…

    If you've never played the original, then I'd recommend this. The core game is a 10/10 experience, if not a bit short. However, the remaster itself, while beautiful, also seems a bit glitchy. Weird checkerboard textures in most parts of the game, characters getting stuck, odd washed-out lighting. The controls also don't seem as responsive? I feel like many times I'll miss a ledge or won't be able to turn a handle due to inputs not being read correctly (especially during the final boss). Co-op…

Also, if you're thinking to play local co-op using a pad, the 2nd player stick controls are backwards with no way to edit. You're maximum resolution is 1920x1200.

    Bought this game as a couch co-op to play with my partner. When starting up the game and going for the co-op mode, the game warns you it isn't meant to be played like this. Please listen to this if you're planning to play in co-op, don't do it. If you play the small brother, you will only use the right part of the gamepad. Yes, you can only use the right stick for movement, the left one does nothing, this is a remnant of the original singleplayer mode. Super clunky stuff. The puzzles are…

    I missed the initial release of this game, it was good since I played with my wife "It takes two", I was looking for a co-op game, luckily the remake of brother offers this option. I don't know what my rating would have been in single-player mode but I think this remake is great, a bit short, but it's a good little story that reminded me of the good times of Hazellight's last title. I would have liked an alternative ending. The game is still great. We're going to try "À Way out", good narrative…
