Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

I remember playing this on the Xbox when I played it back in 2015; I like screaming at my 7 year old self for not knowing what to do at the easiest parts and asking my dad to help me every 10 minutes, 9.5/10. Good game if you like puzzles and various escape sequences.

It's an okay puzzle platformer that draws from the so called cinematic platformers. It's cinematic alright and it does have it's smart moments, but most of the times you are left to your own devices and the physics engine's, you have to be perfectly still to use to magic pencil, and you know, that's what I hate about cinematic platformers: the lack of accuracy and timing. There were many times in which I died just because the stupid thing didn't work as intended. Also, the story, or lack of. There's barely a story. You can tell they just threw some character quirks and silly cliches (the evil wizard, the benevolent old lady, the cool kid stuff, etc.) just to see what sticks, but I do appreciate the 90's vibe and character design. It reminded me of the likes of Might Max and such, anyone remeber Mighty Max? No? Just me? Ok.
The game is OK-ish, not the best of it's kind but then again I'm not much of a fan of this genre. Thing is that it can't completely work when you are struggling with the very mechanics of the videogame. The final boss battle is quite smart tho.
3/5

This a good game simple play style decent story like some Disney movie

I've been on a string of discovering games that are rather old, but as with the case of Max: Curse of Botherhood, really good.
The game is quite simply a LOT of fun. The creativity that went into the magical uses for his "Magic Marker" is just brilliant and makes the platforming a ton of fun. Performance is great, as it's an old and not very demanding game, and for the art style, it looks great too.
Not much else to say except I recommend this game. It's a lot of fun and a worthy part of my library.
Thank you for Reading.

Bought this again for the nostalgia. Awesome little adventure game, would recommend playing.

it was pretty good but they couldve made a second game or the game itself longer

EN+RU review.
A wonderful and magnificent platformer with excellent puzzles! A very beautiful and interesting game, in places it is very challenging if you want to collect all the trophies.
I strongly recommend it to everyone, especially to lovers of platformers with very interesting puzzles!

Замечательный и великолепный платформер с отличными пазлами! Очень красивая и интересная игра, местами очень сильно бросает вызов, если вы хотите собрать все трофеи.
Настоятельно рекомендую всем , тем более любителям платформеров с очень интересными пазлами!
