Twin-stick control schemes
Once the darling control scheme of arcade shooters – of which, titles like Nex Machina harnessed incredibly well, and addictively – the twin stick control scheme largely exists in the shadows. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons co-opts the twin stick mechanic, instead transplanting it into something more cerebral. The game, for those who haven’t experienced, tasks players with controlling both brothers simultaneously in wonderful solo co-op. An innovative control scheme that’d be very welcome in more games.
