    Easily one of the best, if not the best co-op experiences on PC. I really loved the variety of gameplay. Never a dull moment. The writing for the characters was on the level of a Rom-com hollywood movie. Very impressive. Highly recommended.

    It deserves a much higher score than what you're seeing here.

    Absolutely brilliant game and maybe one of the best games to play with your partner ever.
    It also eases into the difficulty slowly, so even a total beginner can get to grips with everything.

    And to those complaining that it is coop: Why do you buy a coop game and then complain about it being coop? Can't you read?

    This is one of the best COOP games I've played so far. Loved the art, the gameplay and all the types of puzzled I've encountered.

    JUST a note, atm there are 10 user reviews with 0 and out of them 3 are posted wrong, they say 10/10, great game and so on, but they've posted the review with 0 score.

    It takes towo is a 12 hour long co op based puzzle platforming game and this is the best co op gave ive ever played in my life.
    Here you play as either May or Cody… This game does require you play with two people either online or locally, I played locally with my girlfriend, she was May, I was cody… Your daughter is sad the two of you are getting divorced, the classic magic tears happen and next thing you know, the both of you wake up in the bodies of these 2 dolls,and you have a spansish love doctor in the form of the book of love there to help you find love again, all while the two of you are trying to break the spell and get back in your bodies…. The levels area variety of puzzles, and its that variety that makes it takes two such an amazing game, as again this game is 12 hours long, variety is an absolute necessity.. and because of that, each level here almost feels like a new puzzle game itself… each time youre given a new ability or weapon for that level specifically, which also makes this game so accessible, theres no need to remember every tool or control the game throws at you, as every hour or 2, you throw that item away for a new one, and I loved that..I loved knowing that if im not liking the gameplay of a particular section, that if I just puh through, ill be given a new fresh style of gameplay and not have to deal with it anymore.. and hey.. if you are playing locally and you like one persons ability more than the others, you could just switch characters if theyre willing.. I personally played as cody the whole time… the game does do a great job at switching who gets th better ability… though I feel mostly cody is stuck with the here, let me move this or hold this while you have all the fun platforming… I felt like the cogs inside of a platforming level quite a few times while playing… an interesting idea that im sure would be a pain development wise, is the ability to chose who gets what before a level starts or the ability to switch items as the level goes on.. either to switch things up for each player, or for moments of strengths and weaknesses to play out in the actual people playing… it wasn’t that big of a deal having your ability already pre chosen based on the character you are.. but the choice would’ve been nice.. overall though I absolutely love It Takes Two.. you get a touching story, gameplay variety that revels the likes of a Mario game, and one the most if no the most amazing co op experience in gaming history… it has its moments of this just isn’t fun, and I would’ve like more action sequenes thrown in there than we got, just to break up the puzzle solving more… but it takes two is near masterpiece status, and is a must play for you and that other person in your life…
    I give It Takes Two

    It Takes Two is packed with a lot of different gameplay mechanics, fun versus mini-games, a generous variation of pretty and amusing environments, likeable characters, and a steady story pace accompanied by albeit ordinary but humorous acting. But what stands out for me is that the variety of gameplay mechanics are introduced one by one, making sure that every chapter is unique -- this is one of the primary reasons why this game is so good.

    If you have someone to play it with, this is a heavy recommend, whether or not you like the genre at all. A hundred bucks says you're gonna enjoy it.    … Expand

    IT TAKES TWO is a rare feature. It is for those who have been playing games for a long time, and at the same time - for those who have never done this, but really want to join. She is also funny, with many references to films that are understandable.

    This is what absolutely 10/10 AAA coop quality ( on the medium - easier side ) looks like my GF had some trouble at first with the movement mechanics like the hooks but she learned it the game doesnt Punish you for fails or deaths !

    its simply EXTREMELY awesome

    really i would rate it 20/10 specially the love to details , the work that went into that game and more.    … Expand

    Honestly, this is the best game I've played in the last few years, and that is saying a lot because I play nearly all major releases and tons of indie games. You'd be crazy to miss out on this with a friend (preferably your wife or girlfriend).

    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.
