    i can't believe people are review bombing this because they're either lonely or not good at average platforming xD GOTY Amazing work of art. The dev always talks about his games as a work of art and this is a masterpiece.

    My expectations were high to begin with, based on Hazelight's former two games that I quite enjoyed. Then my first impression with this game was that it's the best two player co-op out there. But even that was exceeded with the realization that there is simply no comparison with anything else, for this is something very unique.

    Hazelight is doing wonders with their two characters formula.    My expectations were high to begin with, based on Hazelight's former two games that I quite enjoyed. Then my first impression with this game was that it's the best two player co-op out there. But even that was exceeded with the realization that there is simply no comparison with anything else, for this is something very unique.

    Hazelight is doing wonders with their two characters formula. Their first game had two brothers, then two prison breaking allies, and now a husband and wife at the verge of a divorce with a daughter caught in the middle. All these three stories were simple, yet the journies were vibrant. But the true highlight of It Takes Two is how this journey consistently stays fresh and saturated for very many hours where you are constantly faced with new kinds of challenges, and a new set of tools to tackle them. More on that later.

    If you are a couple with access to this game, there is not much need for dilemma. It's an exceedingly fleshed out AAA game for half the price, that can entertain two players with a single purchase, even if you play online. That already makes it well worth the money. On top of that, the game is simply an endless buffet that is sure to surpass your appetite.

    But, there are a couple of big red warnings. Firstly, this is not a casual game. After playing their last game A Way Out, we were expecting some laid back fun. But this game will put even a seasoned gamer to test. Moreover, one person won't be able to carry both. Both the players will need to climb steep learning curves, together.

    Secondly, the game's genre has been phrased as a "romantic comedy", not for the lack of a better word, but because there would have been too many words. This game packages a ton of genres into one, constantly changing to remain consistently fresh. So players with limited preferences may not enjoy it. If you enjoy Mortal Kombat but not Dark Souls, you're gonna have a hard time. If you enjoy Mario but not Tomb Raider, you're gonna have a hard time. Bear that in mind.

    I crave new ideas. And this game is a roller coaster ride through a fun fair of newness. I don't like to recommend anything, but do check it out, and it may speak to you.    … Expand

    Música y sonidos, no destacan, pero tampoco restan.

    ¿La historia? Quizás un poco plana, y con alguna cinemática un poco creepy, pero mas que aceptable y con el libro/dr.hakim dando la nota en forma muy positiva.

    ¿Por qué un 9 y no un 10?
    Los puntos negativos: dificultad excesivamente sencilla, un final con sabor amargo, quizás un peldaño por debajo la última etapa respecto a todo el resto del juego.

    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…

    Для меня главным отличием от других подобных игр, это снабжения персонажей новыми способностями на протяжении всей игры. Т.е. игра идет вразрез с шаблоном, где тебе условно дали ресурсы и крути ими всю игру – развлекай себя, решай пазлы. Здесь персонажи с каждым уровнем находятся в разных условиях, при этом каждый из персонажей имеет уникальные способности, без которых второму игроку не продвинуться. Напоминает чем то Portal, но в Portal способности все же одинаковые (вызывать портал).

    Хочу также отметить Боссов. Они прекрасны.

    Резюмируя - эта лучшая игра для прохождения со второй половинкой. Trine, Unravel просто курят и плачут в стороне.    … Expand

    A perfect local co-op story game in a time in which local co-op is forgotten. Also, the aspect of having online co-op is especially important as well during a pandemic and for any long-distance relationships.

    Fan of hazelight games already but this game truly blew my expectations out the window. Great co op game, fantastic levels with such great atmosphere and detail including the mini games. Length of the game was also nice - didn’t get bored once. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys adventure and playing with a friend.

    The gameplay is a lot of fun! But I must warn that the storyline is very cringe. Heteronormative stereotypes, racism. And these cutscenes can't be skipped... But the actual mechanics of the game are enjoyable.

    My wife and I are about half way through the game and are absolutely loving it. I'd give it a 10 but the book of love is annoying and the animation in human form is a little off. The actual gameplay though is amazing. My wife, who easily gets frustrated at games and wants to quit said that this is her game of the year.

    this is how you do two player co-op correctly. The fact that you have unlimited lives also makes this a great game to play with someone not as skilled in platforming. Currently going through the mission with my girlfriend and shes having a blast (usually she gets frustrated when she dies often). Memorable characters as well, cant recommend this enough for some couch co-op.

    This is genuinely a great game full of moment to moment fun. It’s basically a puzzle platformer with a story, but There is a huge variety of mechanics, so it never gets old. If you are a fan of the genre, or especially if you have a kid to who wants to play games with you, this is a must have.

    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.
