watched john wolfe play brothers: a tale of two sons and realizing just how well done bramble: the mountain king was in comparison. like the latter would not exist without the former, and brothers is definitely a respectable game and by no means bad, but bramble is just doing everything it does so much better. like down to the visuals and sound design.

#.txt #i think that bramble does the whole 'going from a wholesome fairytale into something super dark' thing a lot better #like the transition between the more wholesome stuff and dark stuff is smooth #in brothers it feels a lot more jarring. like john described it as a tonal whiplash n i think that makes sense #and i dont think brothers ever ends up being as dark as it couldve been #like theres definitely dark stuff but its not enough to make the transition from wholesome fairytale effective #like when bramble gets dark it gets Dark dark u know #brothers never ends up feeling as impactful n sad as the devs clearly wanted it to #its very 'dont you feel sad rn? isnt it sad how this character died? isnt it awful?' u know #and yea the sound n visuals in brothers is fine. they do their job well enough #but again comparing it to bramble u start to realize just how cool n interesting they were in that game
