    Jokes aside, this game was really great. After playing 'A Way Out' though the game is just not as good.

Crafted by the same talented team behind the phenomenal A Way Out, this game is a masterpiece in every sense.

    My girlfriend and I embarked on this thrilling journey together, and it was an absolute blast! Each level, if you can even call them that, is a unique and mesmerizing experience. The diversity in gameplay and originality showcased in every segment is simply mindblowing. You can tell that an immense amount of effort and creativity went into making this game a one-of-a-kind adventure.

    The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking; the artistry displayed in every detail leaves you awestruck. Words fail to express just how deeply impressed I am by this game's design and execution. It transcends beyond just being a video game; It Takes Two is an artistic expression that captures the heart and soul of gaming.

    Playing this game as a couple was an unforgettable bonding experience. The cooperative nature of the gameplay reinforces the idea that it truly takes two to conquer challenges and thrive in this mesmerizing world.

    To anyone considering playing this gem, I wholeheartedly implore you to do so. It's an experience that will leave you in awe and bring you closer to your gaming partner. And to EA, I sincerely hope they continue to support and publish games of this caliber, as they truly redefine what gaming can be.    … Expand

    It Takes Two, developed by Hazelight Studios, is a delightful co-op adventure that takes players on a whimsical journey through a world of magic and imagination. With its innovative gameplay mechanics, charming characters, and heartfelt storytelling, the game offers a unique cooperative experience that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

    One of the standout features of It    It Takes Two, developed by Hazelight Studios, is a delightful co-op adventure that takes players on a whimsical journey through a world of magic and imagination. With its innovative gameplay mechanics, charming characters, and heartfelt storytelling, the game offers a unique cooperative experience that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

    One of the standout features of It Takes Two is its innovative gameplay design. The game requires two players to work together in seamless cooperation to progress through the levels and overcome obstacles. The variety of gameplay mechanics and puzzles is impressive, ranging from platforming challenges to inventive mini-games. The constant need for communication and coordination between players fosters a sense of teamwork and creates memorable moments of collaboration.

    The game's imaginative world is beautifully realized, with stunning visuals and a whimsical art style that exudes charm. Each level introduces new environments and mechanics, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. From navigating a magical tree to exploring a treacherous toy world, the game constantly surprises and delights with its creative design and attention to detail.

    It Takes Two shines in its characterization and storytelling. The protagonists, Cody and May, are a couple on the verge of divorce who find themselves transformed into dolls within a fantastical world. The story explores themes of love, forgiveness, and the complexities of relationships, with emotional depth and nuance. The witty and well-written dialogue, combined with strong voice acting performances, brings the characters to life and enhances the emotional impact of the narrative.

    The game's pacing is well-executed, with a good balance between lighthearted moments and more introspective, emotional sequences. It successfully combines humorous and whimsical elements with poignant storytelling, creating a narrative that resonates with players on a personal level.

    It Takes Two's soundtrack deserves special mention, as it perfectly complements the game's tone and enhances the overall experience. The music captures the emotions of each scene, from playful tunes during lighthearted moments to poignant melodies during more emotional sequences. The score adds depth and immersion to the game, enhancing the storytelling and atmosphere.

    While It Takes Two offers a truly remarkable cooperative experience, it does have a few minor shortcomings. Some of the gameplay mechanics, while innovative, can occasionally feel repetitive or overly complicated, requiring precise coordination and timing between players. Additionally, the game's reliance on co-op play may limit its accessibility for players without a dedicated partner, as it does not offer a viable single-player option.

    Overall, It Takes Two is a heartwarming and engaging co-op adventure that excels in its unique gameplay mechanics, beautiful visuals, and heartfelt storytelling. The game's emphasis on teamwork and cooperation, along with its memorable characters and emotional narrative, make it a standout experience in the co-op genre. While it may have a few minor flaws, the overall package is a testament to Hazelight Studios' creativity and ability to craft a game that is both entertaining and meaningful.    … 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

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

    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.
