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.

    If you want to play, please do play with your loved ones.

    Great game, amazing imagination of the game creators, story writers. I was truly amazed and mesmerized by everything about this game. We had one of the best times playing this game with my wife. Excitement, fun and dramatic scenes. I will be looking forward to the next game of this studio. Must buy 10/10.

As a long term couple, with 3 kids, the themes in the story were interesting and the gameplay forcing us to work together was "interesting" at times when either of us may have been frustrated by something (not pointing any fingers...).
    I definitely recommend this for people who love co-op and fun, not to difficult gameplay with friends.

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.

    My (5yo) son loves this game and so do I. Fantastic game world and most levels are very well designed. I love Fares Fares for making these couch coop games, a genre forgotten by so many others. This is his best game so far and I recommend this game to anyone who like couch coop games young or old. Strong 9, borderline 10.

Aber es fühlt sich kurz an, da einfach alle paar Minuten eine komplett neue Spielmechanik folgt. Leider gibt es hier aber auch bedenken, dass hier ganz klar der zweite Spieler ein entscheidender Faktor ist.

    Für mich gibt es nur einen kleinen Haken. Die Story ist für mich persönlich nur mittel zum Zweck. Manchmal hat sie einen klaren Stimmungsbruch. Diese Eltern sind wirklich Rabeneltern. Ich fand es stellenweise etwas überzeichnet. Das mag gewollt sein, aber bei mir hat es nicht gezündet.

    Über die Story schaue ich aber gerne bei so einer Menge an Spielspaß gerne weg.

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

    Entornos y diseño, otro 10, la estética, la cantidad y variedad de escenarios es inmensa y muy bien llevada.

    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.

    Definitivamente un gran juego para disfrutar con un amigo o pareja.

    It Takes Two is a surreal journey in form but tremendously realistic in substance (by form we mean the world and events, by substance we mean the characters and their problems, realistic and common).

If the plot is simple, it is not the way it is told nor the staging, which arrives in some sequences to leave the viewer speechless. With unthinkable villains and excellent music, the gameplay manages to renew itself continuously with easily assimilable mechanics, practically for the entire duration of the adventure, without ever having dead spots and boring. The duration is even above average in the reference genre, but despite this you manage to maintain very high levels of writing, always fun. The game design is so superfine that it has created, compared to the previous title of the same company, two much more different adventures: each character in fact has a different gameplay, even different weapons, and this brings replayability to be essential to fully enjoy the title. Some sequences, among all the one with the elephant (I will not say further to avoid spoilers), are so incredible for idea and staging that they remain etched in the mind. The only note of demerit, which certainly does not affect the splendid work done, is an ending that arrives subdued, when perhaps we expected a crescendo to which the work has habituated us from the beginning. Basically one of the best games of recent years, no ifs and buts. An unmissable title that strikes, entertains and excites. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just to say how awesome this game is. I'm just in awe of the never ending sensory experience from sliding down wires to water slides to bouncing off drums and creating music by sliding around the tops of wine glasses. I played this with my seven year old son and we bonded over the team aspect where every level relies on both players working together in very creative ways to get through challenges. For a two player game the camera shots make each players frame seem much roomier than any other two player game I've ever played. I would have given this a 10 if it weren't for the kind of weird story line about divorce and working together. It may have been a good life lesson, but we scrolled past all of it in anticipation of what lies ahead. My favorite round was the ice round where we got to speed skate and also the level where we had to manipulate time to our advantage. I've been gaming my whole life and I've never seen anything like this. Great work developers! Expand

    + 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.

    One of the best games these days, my only complaint is that it's forced 2 player, and it doesn't have a player 2 AI like lego games, other than that this game is tons of fun, hopefully it's not forced 2 player next time, or maybe an update giving it an AI.

    Killing the elephant doll was both saddest and funniest moments of the game. The level of quality this game maintains is extraordinary and has that Pixar level of fantasy that I enjoy. There were some low points though in some of the levels, like the Garden where the gameplay was not too interesting. BUT, Chipmunk Army.

If he/she is a beginner, then it's not worth it, in fact this game is getting very frustrating very fast for people not used to 3d platforming :( I had to sell my copy so it wouldn't stare my and my girlfirend in our faces...

    The game is incredibly diverse in terms of gameplay and that's cool. It's also fun to play two and we have a good time. But for me the game quickly became nondescript and I couldn't wait for it to end. The challenge is nice but nothing more, it's certainly not a GOTY for me anyway!

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I did not finish this game. My co-op partner and I got bored by level 2 (of 7) and set the game down.

    TL;DR: It Takes Two is a competent game in a genre (co-op platformer) where it has virtually no competition. While not spectacular, the visuals and voice acting are better than your average videogame. It also does a good job of telling a story that is a little more
    FULL DISCLOSURE: I did not finish this game. My co-op partner and I got bored by level 2 (of 7) and set the game down.

    TL;DR: It Takes Two is a competent game in a genre (co-op platformer) where it has virtually no competition. While not spectacular, the visuals and voice acting are better than your average videogame. It also does a good job of telling a story that is a little more grounded, relatable, and coherent than most games. However, people who play a lot of videogames may notice the sub-par level design, platforming, and puzzles.

    I think if you and your significant other / co-op partner are reasonably capable videogames players (e.g., grew up with games), but you aren't like, playing 15+ hours of videogames per week, It Takes Two may be one of the better videogames you'll play. Many people probably fall into this category, which I think is why it has so many favorable reviews and won PS game of the year.

    But from a design perspective, I think the level design and puzzles are weak, and there are GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 games from the early 2000s that have comparable or better platforming.

    In my experience, most of the levels played out exactly the same. First, the game gives both players a tool. These tools work together to enable the players to solve the puzzles. For example, one player gets a hammer and the other gets a nail gun. Simultaneously, the game takes away whatever tools the players received in the previous level. Then the players run down a hallway until they hit a puzzle. The players do the puzzle which lets them run down another hallway, where they do another puzzle. This repeats until the players hit some sort of autoscroller / "run away from the collapsing stage" section, which is followed by a boss.

    Its really obvious based on the puzzle design and the game's theme (e.g., two people learning to work together and repair their dysfunctional relationship) that the developers did not want players to get stuck on the puzzles and get frustrated with one another. To avoid this problem, they made the puzzles pretty easy, so much so that all the puzzles (that I played) were identical from a gameplay standpoint.

    First, the players are put into a room. One and only one of the players will be able to interact with something using the tool they received at the start of the level. That player presses R2 to interact with the thing. This will enable the other player to press R2 to interact with something else. This "P1-P2-P1-P2" or "P2-P1-P2-P1" pattern is repeated until the puzzle is solved. The actual "tool" you use to solve the puzzle is mechanically irrelevant. In one level, one player receives a hammer and the other receives a nail. The puzzles are solved by one player pressing R2 while looking at something, followed by the other player pressing R2 while looking at something. In the next level, they take away your hammer and nailgun and replace them with a sap (?) launcher and a match gun. The puzzles are solved by one player pressing R2 while looking at something, followed by the other player pressing R2 while looking at something.

    The platforming seems to have been designed by someone who knows what a platformer is, and is aware of platformer mechanics, but does not really seem to understand them. For example, with regards to mechanics like jumping, in a 3D platformer, a character might have e.g., a jump, a double jump, a spin jump, a dive jump, etc. In a good platformer, the levels are designed where each of these movement options is appropriate in different circumstances, so the player has to decide between them while playing, making the gameplay more varied and interesting. In It Takes Two, the impression I got was "you might as well double jump and dive," because most of the gaps can't be covered by a single jump anyway, and there isn't really anything the single jump does better than the double jump. So it seems like the developers included multiple jump options because "that's what good platformers have," without really understanding why they have those options.

    Some of the action sections in levels can get kind of tedious, and it seems like the developers were aware of that, but didn't bother to redesign or address these sections. Like in one level, there is an autoscroller where you ride on the back of a glowing fish and literally do nothing for a couple minutes, and I kinda enjoyed it. I realized the reason I enjoyed it was because setting the controller down was more enjoyable than playing the sections that came before it. The developers included this section as an intermission to make the level more tolerable, rather than simply making a more fun level to begin with.

    So overall the gameplay and puzzles aren't great, but if you don't play much videogames, you might not even notice or appreciate that, and you may end up enjoying one of very few polished functional co-op platformers on the market.

    For all the hype that had been generated around this game's quality, I found myself increasingly annoyed as I continued to play the game more and more. While the plot certainly could have been worse, it felt schmaltzy, somewhat unrealistic and oversimplified as it carried on - and considering that this game is quite dependent on its plot, I felt increasingly annoyed as this game carried on. As such, despite the greater opinion on It Takes Two, I would be lying if I said I enjoyed myself while playing it.

    Decent fun for two players. If you dont mind story on level of Hollywood movie (which is not a compliment), annoying woman behaving like a man and sissy man behaving like a woman. And terrible book. And logical mistakes that just make you roll your eyes (if you pay them any attention). On the bright side, my girlfriend had fun, liked the models (anything cute gets her).

It's absolute **** to force the players to make that choice when the only alternative choice is to stop playing. It also makes makes zero sense since it was never established that the two protagonists are psychopaths. I honestly don't understand how tone deaf the whole team should have been.

    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.
