    Interspersed by flawless and satisfying mechanics that balances well with the more challenging portions, there is just so much diversity that you'll never get bored.

    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.

    This is one of the best games I have ever played!!! There are so little GOOD co-op games, and this just crushes them all. It is an absolute must to play with your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend. If your significant other doesn’t like video games (or you playing video games) – TURN THIS ON and give a 2nd controller to them. That’s all there is to it.

    I’ve played this game through with my girlfriend and it’s been the best couch co-op experience I’ve played. Credit to all of the devs, the variety of gameplay and imagination in the levels is outstanding, I’ve been in awe the whole way through the game. I cannot recommend this game enough

    Probably the most beautiful and most poetic game I've ever played. So many worlds, so many adventures and yet all so different. It's not too easy and it really focuses on cooperation with the partner which makes it unique. The storyline is very commun, everyone can relate and that's a big plus. I really really recommand it 100%.
    Congrates to the team for such a master peace!!!!!

    Amazing creative game with different game play elements every few (!) minutes. Never boring, never same from the beginning to the end, and always fun. Technicallly stunning and beautiful with AAA production values. Ironically it comes from EA and with the purchase of the Hazelight developers EA increased their number of creative studios by 100%.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great gameplay but I just stopped playing when I was forced to kill the elephant. 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.

    Ruined game, could have been lots more fun.    … Expand

    The story line and animation are awesome. The gameplay is varied enough such that it never gets boring. The difficulty is pitched just right.

    It Takes Two excels at just about everything it does, a coop game, a puzzle game, a platformer, just being a fu@king game. If you have a partner and are looking for something fun and innovative, get this game NOW.

    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.
