    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to define what a good game is, but it's easy to tell what game can make you feel happy. 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.    … Expand

    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.

Lets not go there. 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.

Jede vorstellbare Mechanik aus Videospielen der letzten 20 Jahre findet sich hier wieder und schafft es sich nahtlos in die wunderschön designten Welten einzufügen. Hier stimmt wirklich alles. 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 şu zamana kadar oynadığım en keyifli ve en güzel coop&split screen oyun diyebilirim rahatlıkla.

Oyunda yer alan Easter egg'ler ve oyun içersinde keşfettiğiniz mini oyunlar ( toplamda 25 adet mevcut ) arkadaşınızla bir anlık soluklanıp, birbirinize meydan okumanızı çok daha farklı mekaniklere eğlenceli mücadeleler etmenizi sağlıyor. Tek kelimeyle BAYILDIM! Bu sene Game of the Year oyun ödüllerinde kesinlikle platformer olarak güçlü bir aday ! Resident Evil Village da oldukça iddialı geliyor. Bu seneki oyunlar arasından şimdilik favorim bu ikili. Satın alan kişi oyunu olmayan bir arkadaşıyla davet sistemi ile oynayabiliyor.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    I have been playing with my wife and it has been a blast! The variety of mechanics and gameplay are great. This game could have been a 10/10 if they didn't have a certain book in the game. Some story elements are cringe - but the gameplay is so good I dont really notice.

    This game is simply the best couch co-op ever made, especially for couples! The story is very solid, and have a nice pace.

    Just a well build and beautifully crafted game for you and one of your mates. You can tell that devs were passionate about it. It starts to drag out a bit, but if you play this in several sessions this shouldn't be a problem. Great game!

Cody and May are put on this journey and you are right there to see it unravel.

    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.

    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.
