    Это действительно Шедевр с большой буквы. Количество развлечений на квадратный метр просто поражает, игра ни минуты не дает скучать, максимально удивляет такой динамичной сменой механик, сидишь себе с мыслью "ну куда же ещё круче, неожиданней и драйвовей", а они делают ещё и ещё круче. Пожалуй, лучший COL-LA-BO-RA-TI-ON в истории на данный момент, сделано с душой. Где бы теперь взятьЭто действительно Шедевр с большой буквы.

    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.    … Expand

    Played this with my fiance and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. One of the best gamin experiences I have had in my life. The game keeps throwing new mechanics at you so things never get stale. Gameplay is super enjoyable and the story is charming.

    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

    This is legitimately one of the best, if not THE best time I’ve had playing a co-op game. The humour is good, the gameplay is awesome and it never got dull.

    The only part I felt needed some work was the humans. Maybe going for a more “cartoonish” style would have been better than to try photo realism and... not really reach it.

    Played with my girlfriend. Best couch co-op we’ve played. Game play was always engaging and demanded actual teamwork. 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.

    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

    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.

    Jeu élu jeu de l'année aux Games Awards, je m'étais dit que j'avais dû passer à côté d'un joyaux... Mais, non, ce n'était absolument pas le cas. Certes, le jeu est plutôt joli et amusant mais je n'y ai rien trouvé de fantastique. Un bon petit jeu qui amusera quelques heures mais il y a nettement mieux.

    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.

    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.

    The production team did it. Co-op games set the standard for making it this way. The essence of the game is more about fun than message. As I played, only the words "this is the game" were admirable.

    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]
