    This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. It's fast paced with no dull moments at all. The challenge in combat is fair with the only complaint being that the puzzles could have been slightly tougher.

The perfect co-op game for my wife and I to enjoy. She is a Nintendo fan girl and it's generally difficult to get her to become engaged with a title on the PlayStation V, but she quickly became engrossed in this one. The graphics were great, the story was well done, the level design was genius and the puzzles were both challenging and diverse. 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

    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

    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…

    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

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.

    It Takes Two continued to baffle me throughout the whole game. In my personal book, it goes down as one of the most streamlined but genius platformers to date. My SO and I have enjoyed the gorgeous journey with laughter and joy every single segment.

    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.
