Brave

About

Brave is an action-adventure game where you navigate Scottish highlands filled with obstacles and enemies. You switch between sword fighting and archery to take down beasts and break a curse. The single-player campaign focuses on platforming challenges and puzzle solving while progressing through a story about saving a kingdom. A co-op mode adds local multiplayer for up to four players. The game launched on multiple platforms including Wii and Nintendo DS which made it accessible to broader audiences. Despite a 2012 release date it still holds a 72% critic score on Metacritic. The mix of exploration and combat works best in short sessions though some find the story underdeveloped compared to Disney's animated film. Available on PS3 Xbox 360 PC Mac Wii and DS.
