    This is the first, and coincidentally, the best game that I have played on PS4 so far. Featuring amazing storyline, graphics, and countless hours of fun, this game is an incredible journey when playing with your partner.

    Best Co-op game I've ever played.

    We need more of couch co-op game like this one instead of online co-op. Hopefully they are making another masterpiece of couch co-op game because its very hard nowadays to find a couch co-op game (in the world of Playstation).

La enorme variedad de situaciones jugables a lo largo de toda la aventura es enorme, lo que añadido a su humor, lo convierte en un juego extremadamente divertido. 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

    This is a great game. The authors managed to create a game that is simple to play, but still never gets repetitive. The story is touching and it makes you care about the characters a lot. My girlfriend and I loved playing it.

In addition to the fact that it raises the topic of family values, relationships and personal realisation, which as you see is still relevant to this day. Americans generally spend a lot of money on sexologists and Russians get drunk because of it. 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. I was very impressed with the script, colors and concept elaboration of the game.… Expand

    The absolute perfect game to play with someone who doesn’t game often. I played it with my girlfriend and we had a blast! The gameplay changes all the time, and the game manages to be challenging while being very forgiving. I really enjoyed this one, I hope more couch multiplayer titles come along!

    This is one of the most funnier video games that i ever played, the story is original and even beeing not the better part of the experience, is kinda interessing. The fact that this game is maded for playing with a friend makes him so original and had a very different gameplay form the majority of the games that are launched nowdays

    This was the most fun I've had while gaming in a while. The graphics & art are amazing, the gameplay is excellent and the story is decent enough. The little minigames in between also add a nice little distraction from the main story and add to the diversity of the gameplay. The only minus was the camera which sometimes can act a little sketchy, Other than that, absolute must-play.This was the most fun I've had while gaming in a while.

    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.

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

    The variety of this game is incredible. They switch up mechanics around every corner, and you explore so many different environments. They really rely on the co-op mechanics. I had a wonderful time.

    One of the best if not the best Co-op games around. Every section has new gameplay gimmicks that are fun and engaging. The variety offered in this game is quite astounding really. The story can be divisive. I liked the back n forth between a divorcing couple AND I really enjoyed some of the darker elements of the story.

    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

    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.

Das kleine Koop Abenteuer, das man im besten Falle mit dem Lieblingsmensch spielt, sprießt nämlich nur so vor Kreativität und gutem Gameplay. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Nie kommt Langeweile, immer kommt sofort eine neue Mechanik eine neue Idee um die Ecke, die einen wieder begeistert ans Pad fesselt. Das der großartige Action Puzzle Plattformer zudem nur im Koop zu spielen ist zeichnet das Spiel insbesondere nochmal aus. Es bleibt seiner Idee treu. Josef Fares bleibt seiner Idee treu.

    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]
