    It's very reminiscent of the games we played together for hours at the console when we were kids. It is one of the rare productions where you can still experience the side-by-side multiplayer experience. The sense of coordination and progress together is very strong. If you have someone you can play with, you should definitely try it.

    The only thing that can be said negatively is that some parts seemed a little too easy. But it certainly wasn't boring. Nice extras are that the interspersed mini-games are replayable after the game is over.    … Expand

    It takes all the fun of a mandatory co-op game and as a bonus, throws in your parents’ constant fighting and sniping at each other due to years of resentment!!! How could you lose? Seriously, though, the game is very fun. Any other storyline would have been a thousand times better, though. May and Cody are both intolerable and I found myself praying for their demise and Rose’s liberation.It takes all the fun of a mandatory co-op game and as a bonus, throws in your parents’ constant fighting and sniping at each other due to years of resentment!!!

So much nagging, whining, and blaming each other going around it’s really hard to play with the volume up. At least you learn teamwork all the better by both of you needing to hold down a button to skip the painful cutscenes.… 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

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 is the best double-player game I have played. It reminds me about the original intention of playing game itself -- fun. The drawback might be getting too close relationship with your homie if you don't have a girlfriend.

El diseño deJosef Fares ha conseguido con It Takes Two llevar un juego cooperativo a su máximo nivel. 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

ALSO IF I HEAR "Ey homes, the book of love estoy aqui para ti" ONE MORE TIME IM GOING TO SHOOT MYSELF IN THE HEAD. WORST! GAME! EVER. AND AFTER PLAYING THIS GAME I FEEL A STRONGER HATRID TOWARDS MY SUPPOSED TEAMMATE KILLED ME. THIS GAME RUINS FRIENDSHIPS AND LIVES AND AFTER THIS I CAN CONFIRM I DIVORCED MY WIFE OF 16 YEARS BECAUSE IF I EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH BS.

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.

    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.

    A profoundly disappointing experience whose successes mostly lie in its accessibility, graphics and voice acting. I was not quite sold on the story, and found the overall gameplay frustratingly easy in a way that verged on being detestable.

    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.    … 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.

    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.
