    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.

    Nice, funny, beautiful, a masterpiece in multiplayer section, an emotional and funny story at the same time. In a single word ... SPECTACULAR

    Концовка затянута (Местами весело - но чувствуется затянутость).
    Нет русской озвучки. Текст очень быстрый - читать не успеваю! Ребёнок и подавно не сможет прочитать на таких скоростях, а английский знать он не может в принципе в силу возраста.
    Поэтому от игры очень смешенные чувства. Когда идёт геймплей - очень весело. Когда начинается сюжет - идёт оно всё в одно место! Сюжета тут нет!    Концовка затянута (Местами весело - но чувствуется затянутость).

    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.

    What an incredible game. It starts with one wow and that's keeps coming. Never seen so much details in evironment and actions in a game. It never gets boring. This will be one to remember and I hope that Hazelight studios keep coming with more games!

    Perfect co-op fun! The game looks awesome and game play is creative and fun. Story line is a bit mad but it doesn’t spoil the game.

    I had to create a Metacritic account just to review this game. It Takes Two is a great game to play especially with friends and family. The missions, the mini games, the co-op and the story line was all done perfectly, I never felt bored or annoyed during any part of the game. This is the game that deserves every penny and for the price that it's going for it's not that bad. I wouldI had to create a Metacritic account just to review this game.

    Really fun game with a big variety of mechanics. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the co-op element, and it's a reasonable price

    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.

    I said this once and I will say it again: Josef Fares is a genius. He just gets better, with every new game. Brothers was mind blowing and A way out an incredible surprise. Now, he takes the coop trademark even further with It takes two.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    I can't remember a game that has given me so much fun. From the first to the last minute! The game is full of creative ideas, the graphics are excellent and the story fits perfectly with the wacky setting. I can only give it the highest score.

    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

    Es un juego muy dinámico, el movimiento y las animaciones están súper bien hecha.
    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.
    El momento rollo dungeos, Diablo, o cómo queráis llamarlo, es una pasada, chulísima, mi parte favorita. La historia es simplona, y puede que algo larga de más,    Es un juego muy dinámico, el movimiento y las animaciones están súper bien hecha.

    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.    … 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.

    However you want to look at it, though, between its solid story and its just-the-right-difficulty puzzles, It Takes Two is a perfect game if you’re looking for something that will interest non-gamer[s].

    Josef Fares wasn’t kidding when he said that It Takes Two is unlike any other platformer: it’s amazing how many various mechanics and ideas found their place in this game. [Issue#253, p.32]
