    It is a very fun game to play, especially for couples. Me and my girlfriend have a great time playing it.

    สมบูรณ์แบบ การที่ต้องเล่น 2 คนเหมือนจะเป็นข้อเสีย แต่ก็ยิ่งทำให้เกมสนุกขึ้นไปอีก เกมเพลย์ก็หลากหลายและมินิเกมก็สร้างสรรค์ ควรค่าแก่การเล่น

    Really enjoyed playing this through with my partner. Thought it would be quite juvenile, childish but the themes and some parts of the story defintiely felt like we were the target audience and not kids.
    Plenty of fun silly minigames to try, although each one wasn't very complex so I don't feel the need to return to them much.

    Extrem geniales Game, wieder so tolle Easter Eggs, wie viele verschiedene Szenarien darin enthalten sind einfach wyld, so viele Themen und Minispiele und wieder viele versteckte Ereignisse. Es gibt sogar Anspielungen auf den 1. Titel A Way Out, generell sehr detailreich und überdacht gestaltet. Sprachlos. Breathtaking!

Each of them is totally different. Also the multiplayer aspect of the game is the best i've ever seen. Just like the name is says you cant move on without your partner. Also the story is simple but well made. More unusual for EA is that you have to buy this game just once, to play it online with your friend. You just need to invite him trough the friend pass. I recommend this game to everyone who has at least one friend. If you have none, try to get some and play this game it is absolutely worth it. 100/100    … Expand

    Атмосфера игры
    Лично у меня во время этой игры были флешбеки в беззаботное детство. Каждая локация игры великолепная, видно что разработчики тщательно над каждой из них работали, все они очень сильно понравились, но больше всего - детская комната, которая очень напоминала из мультика "История игрушек".

    Механики игры
    Они просто шикарны, в каждой из 9 глав для 2-ух героев были уникальные способности, которые взаимосвязаны со способностями вашего напарника, так же были какие-то общие механики, как канат либо же катание на льду, причем как выполнено последнее, мне безумно понравилось со стороны управления.

    Мини-игры
    Каждая мини-игра невероятно проработанная, больше всего запомнились: шаффлборд (мы с другом наверное минут 30 только в него играли), шахматы и гонки на льду, но и остальные игры невероятно крутые, так что лучше полностью исследовать все локации, чтобы ни одну не пропустить (к большому сожалению у нас это не вышло и всё таки пропустили парочку, хотя пытались исследовать каждый уголок).

    Сюжет игры
    Сюжет игры до невероятного простой: Коди и Мэй хотят развестись, дочка узнает об этом и своими слезами превращает их в куклы и чтобы им вернутся обратно в их тела, им необходимо вместе выполнять различные задания от книги любви во время которых они должны вернуть любовь и понимание в их отношения, но то как подан этот сюжет, это просто невероятно, игра способна зацепить человека абсолютно любого возраста. Но момент со слонихой сломает психику ребенку :)

    Ну и в заключение хочу сказать, что я конечно же рекомендую к прохождению эту игру, она подарит вам гору незабываемых эмоций, а кому-то даже различные ответы на ситуации в отношениях.    … Expand

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience with a very well adjusted skill ceiling to play with either more or less seasoned coop partners.

It is apparent that the devs put quite a bit of effort to design constantly refreshing game loops, some more interesting than others, but all in all, they manage to keep the pace at a high for most of the playthrough and found myself chuckling out loud many a time. Atmosphere is top notch and very detail oriented, a good mix of straight up action and wholesome downtime.

    The game offers the possibility to share the experience with a friend with the purchase of a single copy. The obvious downside to it all is not having friends to coop with as it is very much tailored to play in this way.    … Expand

    However the most disappointing part for me was the ending, Because the game didn't really show me the reunion of Cody and May the way I wanted to see, It was more like they came together because of their daughter and all that "collaboration" was for nothing.
    Despite disappointing ending, It Takes Two was an amazing and fun game for me and it's definitely one of my favorite games.

    Some people may dislike the fact that you need a friend to play the game with but that is actually the reason why this game is so great.

There are so many great single player games like The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 or BOTW. The last time i had so much fun playing a multiplayer game was with Portal 2. It takes Two has so much to offer because in every chapter there is something new to experience. The diversity of weapons and how to use them is great. I did not feel bored once through the whole game while getting entertained by the book of love and the jokes Cody and May made about each other. It is a true romantic Comedy and the exact thing you need if you loved the good old days of couch coop and having fun together with your actual friends and family. This game is an absolute multiplayer-story masterpiece and even though it is more focused on the brilliant mechanics and gameplay the visuals look great too and the game is running smoothly. I would definitely recommend using a controller for this game because the aim assistance is well integrated and it just feels better but if you feel like preferring a keyboard you can still easily go for it. The most important thing about this game is the “psychological flow”. You always feel challenged but not overwhelmed because of the good balanced difficulty.… Expand

    You can't play online - everyone from their keyboard. Only keyboard + mouse and the other person controller. That really sucks. Story is super childish, which is perhaps on purpose. Gameplay is very good.

    The variety, and two player gameplay are excellent and fun, no complaints there whatsoever. The nods to different playstyles are especially fun, and there are times when the game blows my mind, especially vehicle segments. The people who made the game seem to have a certain understanding for balancing play design. The minigames vary from just ok to Excellent, and in general this is probably top two co-op experiences of all time.

    From a different perspective, the writing is absolutely awful, and the voice acting is bad, especially Rose, who is clearly voiced by an adult, and is extremely creepy. I would actually go so far as to say, the decision to cast rose as an adult completely ruins any sort of emotional weight the game may otherwise have had. My girlfriend and I usually just laugh at the creepy rose parts (especially after I played her what it reminded me of: Blue Jam, series 3, episode four, about 8:15). The writing is awful. The book is a weird (Mexican?) Stereotype, its not amusing at all, and just makes us roll our eyes and skip the cutscenes. There are also really lame jokes, including really hacky fart jokes, that seem more aimed at little kids, which is weird because this game really does not seem like a good game for kids in most regards. The world is also weirdly sparse, I really hate that every 3d platformer has become a collectathon, but it seems like there should be some things to find, or some small quests.

    Can't recommend it enough as a play experience though despite it's flaws.    … Expand

    Great game, great story, every moment is very enjoyable, great visuals. One problem with it is that not all controllers are detected in local co-op so we could only play online with a friend pass. They doesn't mention in advance that you can't co-op on one keyboard.

    It Takes Two manages to combine cooperative acting in the level of many game genres, perfectly dose the pace and tell a serious story about parenting with a successful exaggeration. All this beautifully in a detailed fairytale-fantasy world, the exploration of which makes it a double joy.

    True, there's no single moment to touch the climax of his heartbreaking 2013 debut, Brother: A Tale of Two Sons, but Fares's third - and best - game as director suggests the Oscars' loss is very much videogames' gain. [Issue#358, p.108]

    Tonally it is all over the place, never seeming quite sure what type of game it wants to be and audience it wants to court. At times it as sweet, warm and sharply enjoyable as any family film. May and Cody’s jibes at each other swerve from affectionate to cutting in a believable and often touching way as they pick at the rifts in their relationship. You may even start to root for them, until the game swerves into a task involving the excruciatingly drawn-out murder of a toy elephant to make their daughter cry.
