    Best cooperative game I've ever played.

    It's full of magic and very creative scenarios. 10/10.

    My wife and I loved this game. It was the first time since Overcooked that she was demanding we play this instead of me playing solo in other games.

    Incredible graphics, music, zero bugs on launch and a funny lead character makes this game a 10.

    Don’t be deterred if you want to play this with a friend! This is NOT just a couples game. Friends and family alike can play this game together and truly enjoy the stunning detail put into this game. I’m surprised more studios don’t follow this tactic, it’s AMAZING and I will now be checking out a Tale of Two Brothers and A Way Out.

    One of those games that makes you log into Metacritic immediately after playing it just to tell everyone how mind blown you were by it. Just wow! Hats off to the entire development team. Must play for anyone who has a second player who can play video games decently to some degree and not hold the other person back.

    Do you like Coop Games ? Maybe even Couch Coop ? Do you like Pixar ? Maybe Toy Story ? Even if you don’t , maybe try this one. This is pure fun, lovely story and you gotta play as a team. Graphics and story, its all there, like going to the cinema and deciding how Toy Story is gonna end.

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.    … Expand

    This game is insanely fun. Though I didn't find the story so engaging (the book of love is extremely annoying), I can't give it less than 10 due to the excellent quality of the gameplay. I'm playing it with my brother and we've just beaten the clock boss. I don't want it to end.

    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. Again, I was very impressed by this game and can't wait to play through it again with other friends that haven't experienced it yet!… Expand

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

    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    I have mixed feelings about this game.

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.

    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.

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.

    Esse jogo é muito bom para jogar em cooperativo, uma obra prima feita com muita atenção, em tempos que os jogos sofrem com o descaso de grandes empresas. Joguei com minha namorada que não sabe muito jogar e foi bem tranquilo, tirando algumas partes um pouco mais difíceis pra ela, mas é mais questão de costume.

    Вау, просто хорошая кооперативная игра
    Без внутреннего магазина, коллекционных предметов, скинов и прочих "модных" вещей.
    Просто хорошая игра с огромным количеством механик и добрым сюжетом.

    to make a thing go right
    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 would be absolutely awesome... if you have a (girl/boy)friend who's at least as good with the controller as you. If he/she is a beginner, then it's not worth it, in fact this game is getting very frustrating very fast for people not used to 3d platforming :( I had to sell my copy so it wouldn't stare my and my girlfirend in our faces...

    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.

    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!.    … Expand

    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.
