    Not bad at all, varied and fun games played out in some very pretty environments. Fun to play with one of your kids or fun for two kids to play together. Drags on though. The first 4 hours, great, and after that, can we be done yet please?

    But uh, the voice acting, my god. The two main characters are so irritating, and their voices are horrible.

    Get a buddy, get a few drinks, sit on the couch or from your own homes and play this game together. It's fun, unique and interesting.

    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.

    "It Takes Two" is just a good game. But this is the best game for two I've ever played. Quite a banal and blurry ending. But this is probably the only drawback of the game.

    It's hard to score this game. One one hand, it is probably the best 3d cooperative game ever made, and on the other, it is heavily flawed.

    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.

    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.

    This co-op game aligns its gameplay really well with the story to make the experience truly collaborative for the two players. Some of the levels were downright incredible to play and solve. Only slight negatives are that the story isn't groundbreaking and some levels feel like they just overstay their welcome.

    One of the best co-op game, I have ever played. Sometimes it still amazes me, how many creative ideas they had.
    The story is great, and it processes a serious subject too.
    There are funny characters too, the book was my favourite.
    So, if you're looking for a co-op game, this will be perfect for you.

Hikaye ve konsept ilgi çekici olsa da işin mutlu sona bağlanması, bunun öncesinde karakterlerin birbirlerini anlamaları bana çok ikna edici gelmedi. Bilmiyorum belki kardeşimle oynadığım içindir. Sonuçta bir karı-koca hikayesi.

    Самая прелесть – это геймплей. Просто безумное количество механик. Как будто 100 игр внутри одной. Здесь и гонки, и всевозможные головоломки, прохождение препятствий, полëты на чем угодно, битвы с боссами и ещё куча всего. Что важно, это интересно и не надоедает (разве что, наскучило под самый конец).

    Визуал в этой игре, как по мне, отличный. Хочу отметить проработку окружения. Очень здорово сделаны окружающие предметы на локациях, будь то какие-то игрушки, подушки, грибочки, микросхемы и другие маленькие детальки, которые в игре "становятся большими" (поиграв, вы поймёте о чём я).

    Настоятельно рекомендую попробовать этот годный кооператив. Надеюсь есть с кем:)

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.

    It Takes Two is probably the best story-based CO-OP game so far. The experience is truly unforgettable, way better if you "experience" it with the right person (by the way I recommend playing it with the right person).

    It Takes Two is probably the best story-based CO-OP game so far. The experience is truly unforgettable, way better if you "experience" it with the right person (by the way I recommend playing it with the right person).
    But. Yes, there's always a but if you're not RDR2. Despite the fact that It Takes Two doesn't promise you a mind-blowing story, it lacks the motivation to keep playing the game for the story (this part is important because I'll bring this up again), don't get me wrong the story is sweet and all but I'm not much of a person for sweet little stories to tell your grandchildren. It's just a standard one, don't expect much out of it.
    Anyway, let's move on to the part where the fun begins. A few sentences earlier I stated that the game lacks the motivation on the story, however it has all the motivation you need to keep playing thanks to the unique gameplay and mechanics the game holds in it (except for a few parts which can be overlooked). The diversity and the opportunities in every chapter can make you fall for this game. For instance, the one where you become a Thor like character and throw nails around. Oh!
    You don't like Thor? Okay, maybe a part where you become something of a Captain America yourself and just play fetch with your shield. Maybe you can pretend you're the late wonderful Edith Piaf and sing your way out of the level or you can play as a wizard and a knight in a MMORPG alike sequence. Not even mentioning the extremely fun minigames spread across the chapters (I insist on you to play the baseball one). It's not quite usual that we see a game with this much variation in gameplay.
    As you can see there are a lot of things you can and probably will do in this game. So, go on and get your buddy or your girlfriend or whoever you'd like, hop on to It Takes Two and enjoy!

    8/10, Recommended if you'd like to play something different and taste some new tastes in terms of game mechanics.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    I will probably play this game through again at some point

    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!

    Unfortunately this game breaks constantly because the publisher, EA forces their launcher on you. Its probably good but most people will just get frustrated with the EA launcher, which constantly changes to new launchers and breaks all the time.

    This is by far the best coop game of all time.

    The level design is incredible. Everything is designed into the last little detail. You really can see how much love the developers put in this game. Pretty unusual for EA. The environment is changing in around 30 minutes, so you can't get bored. The mechanics are incredible as well. Every new enviroment gives you fun new tools to work

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

    Великолепная кооперативная игра, в ней идеально буквально всё, поэтому даже нет смысла перечислять плюсы и минусы, так как последних в принципе нет, так что просто перечислю все крутые аспекты игры.

    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.

    Juego EXCELENTE! Sin duda, una obra de arte del juego cooperativo para 2 personas.
    Tiene una historia muy bonita que engancha a continuar avanzando. Además, la historia conecta en muchos puntos con los puzles y las mecánicas que hay en los niveles.
    Sorprende en cada nivel con unas mecánicas nuevas, las cuales deben llevarse a cabo con ambos jugadores para poder proseguir correctamente.

    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.
