    An amazing co-op experience with a tender, sweet story. Gameplay is interesting, and the mechanics vary with each chapter—keeping you & your player 2 engaged until the very end. A must-play for gaming couples.

    Best game of 2021! And, of course, one of the best co-op games out there. Playing with a partner makes it even better :D

    This game is a GEM. I haven't been so much into a game for many years. Regarding the gameplay- there are so many new ideas integrated, the game is so much fun and I can't believe how much NOT repetitive. The levels design is gorgeous.

    I love it! I'm buying all of the studio's other games.

    Amazing co-op game! At first I kept seeing all the ads for the game and it didn't peak my interest, but I heard some people say good things about it. Convinced my friend to play it with me and we both loved it.

    One of the best co-op games in a long time.

    Хорошая игра, которая постоянно удивляет тебя огромным кол-вом механик, вам всегда подкидывают что-то новое. Сюжет понятен, он затрагивает важные темы. Прошёл игру с девушкой, игра и умиляет и даже иногда пугает некоторыми моментами. Визуал и музыка на высоте.Хорошая игра, которая постоянно удивляет тебя огромным кол-вом механик, вам всегда подкидывают что-то новое. Сюжет понятен, он затрагивает важные темы.

    太好玩了,游戏的关卡设计将两人的配合发挥到了极致,极致到连跳过动画都需要两个人都长按按键。虽然关卡已经很多很好玩了,但是通关后还是觉得意犹未尽,期待DLC或者续作?(大概率是没有),也期待类似玩法的游戏。
    除开线性的主线剧情,游戏中有很多地方可以自由探索,解锁小游戏,或者和物体互动,各种小细节非常用心。
    唯一的缺点可能是对于平时不太玩游戏的人可能偏难,经常是我等我老婆过关,并看着她一次次死掉。上手后到游戏中后期会好一点。

    Im not joking this was the christmas game i was always hoping for, I played it with my girlfriend and we had such a blast and we will also replay it since it it FULL of amazingly polished mechanics, It takes tow does a lot and they do ALOT AMAZING. I say it is my favorite couch co-op game ever made. Next game that is comparable amazing is Broforce which is also so much fun with friends on a couch.

    La forma cambiante de las mecánicas, toda la variedad cada dos por tres es una auténtica gozada, y todas súper variadas y aportando cosas nuevas.

    La historia es simplona, y puede que algo larga de más, pero está muy bien construida, y los mundos de fantasía fascinantes, con su toque de humor, genial.
    Vamos con las cosas malas, es necesariamente cooperativo, pero bueno, si tienes alguien con quién jugar, quizás si buscas un desafío, puede hacérsete demasiado fácil, y bueno, no tiene doblaje, un mal menor.
    Lo bueno? Mucha variedad en cuanto a gameplay, su toque de humor genialmente medido, deja escenas inolvidables, su originalidad prima, y todos los detallitos que va dejando a lo largo de la trama.

    Nowadays there's a lack of splitscreen games because they are being replaced by online multiplayer, but this one is the best local co-op I've ever played on PS4.

    The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are pretty (I dont need every single game to be hyperrealistic) and of course: fun. If I had to describe It Takes Two with one word it would be that one. It's the exact definition of game

    The only flaw i found was the lenght, as it only took me 15h to achieve platinum, though it's a pretty cheap game so it's something that I personally can forgive.

    Platform estremamente vario e creativo, da giocare obbligatoriamente in due persone.
    Stile grafico originale e cartoonesco, controlli precisi e semplici da imparare.

    Livello di difficoltà leggermente tarato verso il basso, il che permette di giocare anche con un compagno che non sia necessariamente esperto del genere.

    Pretty outdated graphics, animation like it's 10 years old. However, I give a rating of 9 as an encouragement to the Creators for creating a forgotten type of game for two people on a console. I remind all creators that consoles support more than one controller and gained popularity thanks to the games for two players.

En cada mundo, Cody cuenta con una herramienta o poder y May cuenta con otra que lo complementa de manera que ambos tienen que cooperar, pensar y apoyarse para resolver distintos puzzles o derrotar enemigos. Otro punto favorable es que el juego tiene muchos puntos de control, por lo que los jugadores más inexpertos pueden jugarlo sin desesperarse. Además, con un solo juego pueden jugar dos personas cada uno en su consola, una práctica cada vez menos habitual en la industria. Sin duda, it Takes Two es la obra culmen de Joseph Fares después de que Brothers y A Way Out destacaran, pero no llegaran a la excelencia. IMPRESCINDIBLE. Duración aproximada: 12-15 horas Expand

The game also returns the main meaning of game consoles - to play with friends and family, sitting side by side and spending time together. Due to commercialism, gaming companies have forgotten what these consoles were actually created for, the origins. And in pursuit of money, they made a substitution in the face of the Internet. The game by the Internet will never replace the bunch of emotions that people will get by playing and sitting together on the same sofa.

    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.
