    The best casual co-op game for two players I've ever tried. Nice graphics, spectacular art, and funny story. It has a lot of different gameplay, some of the mechanics may be a bit difficult for non-gamers.

    We had a blast playing this with my girlfriend. She is not a hardcore gamer and hasn't touched the controller for half a year since we last played Overcooked 2. It was easy for her to get the basics, and overall enjoyed the game a lot.
    The game itself is a masterpiece in my opinion. Graphics are great. Runs well on PS 4 Pro with no hiccups (sometimes the fan goes crazy).

    Gameplay wise - absolutely amazing. Level design is very good - no repetition with great and addictive gameplay. Collaboration is a key and we haven't had a case where one of us does all the things, while the other player feels left out. Both players are actively engaged in the gameplay.
    Story is not the main point of the game, it gets you going and you are pushing the game just to see the next beautifully crafted level instead of the story. There are some points in the dialog and story that makes you cringe but it is alright.
    We need more couch coop games like that. I would recommend it all the way.

    It Takes two is a masterpiece! Incredible set design, great story and truly amazing platforming and puzzle elements are what make this game so fun. The game has its protagonists shrunk down as dolls making every set MASSIVE in size. We’ve seen this in other games but never quite like this. From a variety stand point this game “has it all”. It borrows from very clear references such asIt Takes two is a masterpiece! Incredible set design, great story and truly amazing platforming and puzzle elements are what make this game so fun.

It borrows from very clear references such as Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Dance Dance Revolution and I could name a few more. The game just wonderfully transports you from set to set in rather seamless manner. In terms of platforming this game might be one of the tightest controlled platformers in recent memory. My character throughout this story (Cody) controller a bit like a Mario in Mario 64, with its tight jump, ground pound before jumping to get a higher jump, dashing then jumping to reach further, it all felt very comfortable while being fast and agile. Story wise, it’s cast of colourful anthropomorphic characters have great personalities (aside from Dr.Hakim but that was intentional) most voice acting is accompanied by great motion capture making the characters seem more alive and connected. In the end, this game is a must have! Hazelight studio really outdid themselves and their hard work and dedication finally paid off! Expand

Solid visuals, some of the environments you play in are stunning and the characters really grow on you through out the game. Overall the imagination and care that went into this game had us in awe.

    Sat down with my GF to play this game expecting the good old couch coop fun. And we kept getting surprised with how amazing this game is. It's new, it's fresh, it's engaging; never boring, never repetitive, a feast of gorgeous visuals, funny dialogue and mechanics that never allow the game to get old. Ii takes two is that kind of game we don't want to end. It's that good.

    With every new stage, world, every new secret and Easter egg discovered I was amazed by how creative this game is. It is a love letter to gaming, to nostalgia. At the same time, it is current, it is modern, it reminds us why do we sit down to play a game in the first place. It seems Mr. Fares does not give up on his visions and good for him.

    It Takes Two is a Masterpiece and was incredibly fun to play with my girlfriend and I would expect even more so with a child.

I've never seen this many game mechanics in a game before that were also so much fun to play around with. Every level feels so fresh and exciting. The game also plays far smoother than I expected it to, and although it is very forgiving I enjoyed the challenge and felt far more engaged than with a way out which I found too simplistic in parts. My girlfriend who is not so experienced with games could still easily enjoy this and we just had so much fun together.

    To top it off the game has some absurdly fun characters, is able to throw in some memorable epic moments and offers a very satisfying ending.
    It Takes Two is able to give a solid campaign, brimming with unique characters, environments and excels in its variation in gameplay. Funfactor is throught the roof, was able to surprise me at every corner and now my favourite game of 2021. You can really feel they had asked the whole team of Hazelight studios to gather all creative ideas and implement them in this game. As this is so rarely seen today I will call It Takes Two a Masterpiece!.

Well, communication is a huge part of fun, a lot of gameplay elements force you to talk to your teammate, doing it with AI would remove half of fun.

It really feels like a theme ride or a big adventure to experience with someone. The only negatives I felt detracted from the game was the main narrative and the amount of unique abilities you could do at one time. Usually, you could only do one or two unique things. I think this was done to make the game more accessible but to me it made the gameplay less interesting. Also the narrative wasn't as interesting as the gameplay to me and felt very repetitive. The narrative still works though and it's not meant to take too seriously. But it also meant, I started spacing out when it came to the cutscenes and dialogue. Expand

    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 have been playing for over 20 years and it is very difficult to surprise and entice me with something, but this project amazed me in a way that no one else could for many years.

    Why?

    Hundreds of insanely diverse mechanics, many of which are made in such a way that you could build an entire game on them, and not a half-hour stage.
    A constant change of genres, weapons, methods of interaction.
    Lots of different competitive mini-games, even full-fledged chess.
    You will never feel left out thanks to the great balance. Both heroes always get interesting abilities and tasks, always!
    As a result, the game will make you a friendly, well-coordinated team, even against your will)

    Excellent art direction and design of everything in the game.
    All levels are very diverse and interesting, various interactive elements are placed everywhere, and sometimes even small stories.
    Unless the space level seemed rather boring and drawn-out.
    The musical level is a real masterpiece. Like the whole ending.

    The difficulty of the bosses randomly jumps from one to another, but almost all of them are quite simple, albeit fun.

    An excellent story, through a humorous form, raising important and serious topics, as well as helping to understand and solve them. From the beginning to the credits, Cody and May are constantly changing and getting better as individuals and as a couple.

    Also, the other characters are well written, they feel alive, with their own negative and positive traits. No division into black and white.
    Great black humor and brutality are sometimes discouraging, but always appropriate.

    A love story game made with love for you to play with love.
    AKA Interactive Pixar for adults, which is better than Pixar.

    Josef, keep your $ 1000.

    Only 10/10.

    I am still **** crazy about what their daughter had to go through.
    And I still haven't forgiven myself for the queen elephant ...

    I have mixed feelings about this game. But I'll tell you in order:
    Plot. A strong woman, a weak man, are disappointed with marriage, but instead of solving their problems, they pretend that everything is fine. But even a child sees that this is not so. Then, throughout the game, the main characters do not change, but the problem of their relationship magically disappeared. Well, seriously

Then, throughout the game, the main characters do not change, but the problem of their relationship magically disappeared. Well, seriously - stupidity. They could show the development of characters, how a man has a character, and a woman stops thinking only about work. But they didn’t show it. This is a big minus number 1.
    Minus number two is gameplay. I'm not going to complain about the strict multiplayer, it's still more a game for couples than for typical gamers. But in video games it is accepted that it is easy to play at first, and then the game gradually becomes more difficult. Here this is in the beginning, and then the complexity does not change. Me and my girlfriend were just bored of playing the second half of the game.
    The rest of the game is very good.
    Some of the jokes are not bad, some are like cheap comedies with Sandler.
    I give it 7/10 because kids and casual couples should really like it.

Controls are clunky, puzzles are either stupidly easy or just impossible to understand. Most of the time the game doesn't do anything to make the stage or goal clear, one of the worst co op games of all times. Btw when you make a game that has split screen you should really make camera controls that are possible to get around. Stupid game that feels more like an elementary school quiz than a game. I can't really see anyone having fun with this, I vote this for the worst game of the decade...

    I played it with my 11yo, and we loved every minute. It's very cleverly made - each level feels so different from the last, even though the mechanics are essentially the same. It's not too difficult, so great to play with kids, but it's a genuine joy to play and totally unforgettable. The level with the moles was an absolute highlight.

    It Takes Two is a co-op only game that can be played either split-screen or online (generously only one player actually needs to buy the game). Developers Hazelight Studios first experimented with cooperative gaming in A Way Out, but whilst that had some good ideas, the gameplay was ultimately a little shallow and repetitive. That is certainly not the case here however, as the game constantly introduces new ideas and gameplay styles throughout its 15-20 hour run time. Add a genuinely funny script, and you have one of the best co-op experiences available on any console.

The sheer amount of different genres of games they incorporated into this game was awesome. I also really loved how they contrasted the more cartoony style of the game and the humor with a very deep story and beautiful message, the story was very well written.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anyone who rates this game below a 9 is insane! It's marketed as a co-op adventure, so any reviews that state it should have a single player mode is either a troll or someone who obviously can't comprehend the most simplest instructions. With that out of the way, this game is unbelievably good! I was very surprised and impressed by the variety of levels and gameplay this game delivered on a regular basis. I was constantly commenting how awesome this game is at every turn. If I had any gripe about this game, it would be the story. It deals with some serious issues about kids and how it effects them when their parents divorce. Now the story isn't bad, but its such a fun game that the story kind of brings you down a bit. But that's just me, you may have completely different feelings when you play it.

    I can't wrap my head around why everyone loves this game so much. To me it represents an evolution of all of Hazelights' strengths and weaknesses from A Way Out with one exception - unlike A Way Out, It Takes Two is actually fairly good-looking and has some very well designed levels which wasn't the case with A Way Out. But being a better version of a terrible game is nothing to bragI can't wrap my head around why everyone loves this game so much.

But being a better version of a terrible game is nothing to brag about.

    So the pros are back, the game constantly introduces new mechanics and is constantly changing - it never really allows itself to get boring. The cinematic moments are back and better than ever with some of them being so good that me and my co-op partner said "yooo that was awesome" out loud. Unfortunately all the cons from the past are also back and so much worse.

    While A Way Out's plot and characters were dull and boring the plot and characters in It Takes Two are aggressively bad and obnoxious. Considering this annoyingly lengthy game relies on a divorce storyline it's baffling how the writers managed to make two protagonists who could never, would never and should never have gotten married in the first place, let alone have a child. It's like they are an amalgamation of everything terrible you could have in a SO and the things they do show that they really don't care about their daughter, they just want to get out of the situation they are in, making the ending just laughable. Add to that a love guru who made me roll my eyes every time he was on screen and you really start to wonder " If they tried, could they make this any worse?" . The other problem is that once again Hazelights' game is a jack of all trades but a master of none. Almost all mechanics feel cheap and uninspired. There were a few that were fun but the vast majority just failed to impress.

    If it wasn't for the bonkers amount of different and well-designed levels, the few amazing cinematic moments and the few fun gameplay segments I would say this game is another dud. Instead I'll say that It Takes Two is a step in the right direction for Hazelight but a marathon run away from a genuinely good game. Please guys, fire all your writers and hire new ones. A very mediocre 5/10

    It Takes Two takes the tried and true action/adventure-puzzler genre and turns it into possibly the most collaborative split-screen co-op game ever created. Coupled with the presented marital issues between the main characters that make for fantastic springboards to discuss with your own Player 2, It Takes Two will strongly resonate with just about anyone who picks up a controller. Although character development was a bit lacking and the story somewhat sluggish, these issues do not diminish the incredibly imaginative level design and supremely enjoyable boss battles. If you’re looking for a case study in co-op puzzle games that deserves to define the genre going forward, grab a partner and pick up It Takes Two.
