Starbreeze’s 2013 adventure Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons has that indie title charm in spades. It's got a great visual design. It controls like no other game, with each character controlled by a different thumbstick. It moves it's own, very chilled, pace.

No doubt the shortest game on this list, what makes this entry even more special is that you don’t even have to finish the game to get all of its achievements/trophies. Unlike many modern titles, Brothers’ trophy list isn’t about demonstrating your gameplay skills and instead is a small checklist of unique events.

Ranging from covering a sheep in soot to turn it black to returning stranded turtles to their Mother, Brothers’ asks the player to really explore the world and take notice of their surroundings.

Instead of demanding increasingly more difficult playthroughs or time intensive riddles like other indie games, Brothers leans into what makes it special by providing a checklist quite unlike any other game. Can’t imagine there’s too many video games that reward you for skimming stones on the ocean.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a reminder that a great 100% completion doesn't always have to be about massive time investment. Sometimes thinking outside of the box is more rewarding than a massive scavenger hunt.
