1 – Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PAGO)
Eisenhorn: XENOS may have immense graphics quality and impressive production design, but the adventure of two brothers in search of a cure for their father's illness, wins as the best adventure game of 2016.

Each sibling has specific abilities, one is stronger and the other is faster and smaller.
Everything is resolved naturally, in a game that does not need explanations, arrows and other types of help. It's that old maxim of simple design where the player has the freedom and a sense of fun and addictive discovery. The player must rely only on perception to know how to interpret this rare piece of the gaming world.
