    It's very reminiscent of the games we played together for hours at the console when we were kids. It is one of the rare productions where you can still experience the side-by-side multiplayer experience. The sense of coordination and progress together is very strong. If you have someone you can play with, you should definitely try it.

    The only thing that can be said negatively is that some parts seemed a little too easy. But it certainly wasn't boring. Nice extras are that the interspersed mini-games are replayable after the game is over.    … Expand

    Wasn't sure about trying this game as I have not heard of it so wasn't expecting much. Hooked up with a friend to give it a go and I absolutely love it. Full of fun, puzzles, humour and excellent graphics and varied levels. I love that you have to work together as a team and communicate properly to get passed the puzzles. Highly recommend this game and its a blast. Excellent

Es spielt sich wie ein Einzig langer Pixar-Film ohne dabei jemals langweilig oder langatmig zu werden. Die zusätzlichen eingebauten Minispiele in den Leveln, eine wunderschöne Optik mit dem Auge fürs Detail, eine süße kleine Geschichte und die Tatsache, dass man nur als Team durch jegliche Level kommt haben die rund 15 Stunden Spielzeit zu einem einzigem Vergnügen werden lassen. Bravo!… Expand

    IT TAKES TWO is the best double-player game I have played. It reminds me about the original intention of playing game itself -- fun. The drawback might be getting too close relationship with your homie if you don't have a girlfriend.

Gracias a su variada y no muy compleja jugabilidad permite que casi todo el mundo lo pueda disfrutar, y esta aventura cooperativa obligatoria es extremadamente divertida y ahonda continuamente en una gran variedad de mecánicas que hacen el juego muy ameno para disfrutar en compañía. El diseño de niveles es espectacular y me ha sorprendido gratamente. También cuenta con multitud de minijuegos que vas encontrando a lo largo del juego y en su mayoría son bastante disfrutables. Con respecto a la historia, me ha parecido buena y coherente en sus acontecimientos, aunque me habría gustado algún giro de guion o elemento inesperado en el último tercio de juego. Debo destacar el personaje del Dr. Hakim, que con su humor y personalidad consigue que esta historia te mantenga enganchado hasta el final. Con respecto a su apartado técnico, el juego me ha ido perfectamente en todo momento con 60 fps estables y una calidad gráfica que, aunque es propia de un juego intergeneracional, es cumplidora. Mención especial merece el diseño artístico, que me parece realmente bueno y que emula bastante bien lo que podría ser una película de Pixar. En cuanto al apartado sonoro, los efectos son muy buenos y la banda sonora es bastante variable, limitándose a ser ambiental en la mayor parte del juego y cogiendo bastante protagonismo en otras secciones, dejando un gran resultado. La duración es de alrededor de 14 horas, perfecta para un juego de este estilo. Como puntos negativos puedo reseñar la falta de coleccionables (aunque sigo sin aclararme sobre si en este juego son necesarios o no) y los modelos y animaciones faciales de los humanos, que desentonan bastante con la calidad del resto del juego. Juego totalmente recomendado para jugar con la pareja o con algún familiar o amigo, ya que es una experiencia fascinante que seguro que ambos recordaréis. 9,2/10

    I definitely recommend this for people who love co-op and fun, not to difficult gameplay with friends.

    The “Game of the Year” effect is a real thing. A game wins GotY, you haven’t played it, and suddenly you want to try it out.

Without a doubt this game deserves all of the praise it was given as the developer clearly made this game with a lot of love and passion and it really shows in this charming masterpiece.

    Exclusively a 2 player game, a husband and wife are turned into dolls and have to explore the world in a Toy Story like style fighting army squirrels and sentient toys along the way. The story can make you laugh and tear up so easily as you quickly become invested in its fantastic narrative. Different mini games or even just fun extra things to do are around every corner making the game just as fun to explore as it is to play. They find a way to mix so many genres into one including fighting, racing, and even dungeon crawling as a few of the many examples. This sense of adventure always brought me back with excitement to see what happens next, or what world I may explore. A garden? A toy castle? Even a snow globe?! I was always charmed and thrilled to see where this journey took me next.

    Honestly I cannot recommend this game enough. If you have a friend or loved one you can play alongside this game will give you hours upon hours of entertainment. And if you don’t have such a person, consider buying a copy for a friend and play it online with them. It’s a worthwhile investment and one I promise you won’t regret making. Once again, this game fully deserved its Game of the Year award, and I’m happy it won it.    … Expand

    Mostly the genre of the plot is drama/comedy.The whole plot and story is about a nearly divorced married couple, but at some point they are transformed into toys and they are forced to work together to transform to their real bodies.The plot is simple, but i think thats not a problem because it works pretty well.Even in in-game interactions between May and Cody can show how deeply buried their relationship is, and how it transforms along the way of the plot.But in my opinion the last chapter is a bit slow and could be far more faster, but it is not a problem it all because of the ending.The sequence with Wasps and Squirrels is hilarious though.
    The gameplay provides huge variety of mechanics, each level of the game has different mechanic.To understand this variety i can male examples of my favorites - RPG, Time Control and Clone making, Hammer and Nail, Voice and Shield and far more.And in total this game cant bore you, because of its variety in each level, even the puzzles are really interesting and requires impact from both players.Also there some fun mini games along the levels, and there also provides different mechanics.
    In conclusion i can say thats the perfect game to play with girlfriend, and amazing game to play with friends/siblings/even parents and provides unforgettable and joyful journey.This game gave me the most pleasant and relaxed experience since Stray.I recommend this game to literally everyone, it is one of the best games i’ve ever played, and i cant really imagine a player that wouldn’t like it.

During the time me and my girlfriend played it, I felt being brought back to the time when I played game only for pure fun and happiness. By the end of the game when May and Cody going through the rainbow tunnel to the final stage, I was deeply touched by the scene and cried out in front of my girlfriend. This is a ten hour experience that you will remember forever and can never get again.

The other elements that were added to the game such as the shooter sequences and particularly the Gauntlet type game play in the Castle level were nothing short of spectacular. The game had some humorous story elements and thought and teamwork were definitely required to finish the journey. I thought the female characters singing special power to the puzzle solving on that particular level was kind of silly, but you can't hit a home run on every swing. The developers were clearly trying to share a unique gaming experience and something we had never seen as gamers. You can't penalize them from trying to offer a truly one-of-a-kind experience. This game is a perfect co-op title and comes with the very highest of high recommendations, it was absolutely deserving of Game of the Year.… Expand

    Hazelight decided to take a step in different direction than most of the game studios today. No open world, no meaningless collectibles, gameplay focused on co-op. When judging with these assumptions in mind "It takes two" is shinning in almost every of that.

    Pros:
    + Diversity of levels: snow, garden, music, mechanic clock-world. Each of the environments is unique and with some twist? You think the tree will be just jumping on branches? Wrong! We have military squirrels. What about an attic? It is a music level.
    + Diversity of mechanics. There is a 1-2 new mechanics in every level. Every one of them uses cooperation in an interesting way.
    + Great coop game. I've played a lot of coop games with my wife. In most of them, the players must overcome an obstacle one-by-one and wait for each other or can go in different directions and basically play two separate games. This is not the case here. In order to succeed, you have to stay close and help each other.
    + Meaningful collectibles: there are no "golden bricks" hidden in the levels. Each of the collectibles is either a mini game with new mechanic or a interesting situation/easter egg.
    + A lot of mini games. We enjoyed playing through them all (maybe except chess - it is hard to call chess a mini game). They are great to enhance the coop experience.

    Cons:
    – Lack of depth in puzzles. Each mechanics has a potential for great puzzles using them. The game uses them only for very simple ones, that you just go through in a heartbeat. Not much a challenge. Some areas feels like there was a lot of effort put into them and you just rush through it.
    – The story is not bad but it is not great either. It is more about exploration of the characters and their personalities. The story was better in "The way out" (previous game of Hazelight).
    – We didn't quite like the characters.
    – Sometimes the game forces you to do things you wish you could skip. If you played the game, you know what I'm talking about.    … Expand

    It Takes Two is the best co-op game I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It's a long game that offers so much, yet never gets stale or predictable. This was 100% deserving of receiving GOTY for 2021. I recommend playing this with someone you're close with, whether it's a significant other, family member, or best friend. I played this with my dad and we had an absolute blast.

A simple yet some what engaging story and some pretty amusing characters make this game a must play. Specially if you have a sibling, friend or relative that you want to spend quality time with. I give it a 9/10 because though I had great time playing it, to me a 10/10 should only be given to the best of the best and I don't think this game is the greatest of all time its still a blast!… Expand

    We love the different action skill each chapter has, just the entire setup and detail of each chapter, the brilliance of the puzzles you need to solve..

    I adore A Way Out, so I had really high expectations for Hazelight’s new game. Instead of sticking to the proven, perfect formula of AWO, the developers decided to give us more of everything and as a result overdid it in many respects. The levels are too long and there are too many minigames, while the story can’t keep up. It seemed to me the narrative is just a pretext to introduce as many different gameplay mechanics as possible, and as a result the relationship between the protagonists is implausible.

    It Takes Two is a one-of-a-kind experience. There is a joy and whimsy to the entire game and so much variety it’ll keep players entertained and surprised from beginning to end. The world is so detailed and gorgeous and the cohesion between storytelling and gameplay is incredibly impressive. It’s the kind of game that proves there’s still plenty of room for innovation in games.
