    It Takes Two receives its most complete and accessible version to date on Nintendo Switch with new languages and the ability to take the game anywhere. So, although the graphical sacrifice is noticeable, we are still satisfied with what can be considered one of the best cooperative games ever made.

    A glorious, pure co-op experience, It Takes Two perfects the balance of give and take through its ingenuitive puzzles, stellar storytelling, and enchanting environments. With communication at its core, it truly takes two to tango with this one, and I couldn’t think of a better home for it than the Nintendo Switch.

    An absolutely indispensable cooperative work that goes beyond the usual boundaries of co-op gaming and ventures into the fundamentals of human relationships, It Takes Two will captivate its players with an array of vast worlds to explore, a creative and varied gameplay, and an experience that's easily accessible even for those with little or no gaming background.

    It Takes Two for Nintendo Switch is a great port: Hazelight managed to capture the feeling and port it to Nintendo's handheld, even with some resolution and framerate compromises.

    To those who've been unable to play the BAFTA award-winning game on other platforms, or want to play locally without a split screen, It Takes Two on Switch is well worth its $39.99 price-tag.

    Is Switch the best place to play It Takes Two? Probably not: it’s a beautiful game which truly deserves the power of a high-end PC or next-gen console to really shine. But that doesn’t mean that this isn’t a worthy port. If Switch is your only gaming format, or even if you simply want to enjoy it again, this time handheld, you’re going to be in for a treat.

    It Takes Two is a very fun game that should honestly be about half its length, but the Switch very much does not feel like the place you should go to play it. The major graphical downgrades and added loading screens make it hard to recommend no matter how good the gameplay feels or how clever the writing is. If you’re looking for a fun game to play alongside your significant other or a friend, It Takes Two is among your better options in general, but you’d likely have a far better experience on PlayStation or PC than on Switch.

Aucun puzzles ne se ressemblent et on a droit à une gigantesque variété d'environnement, de mécaniques de jeux et d'énigmes. L'histoire et les personnages sont très bien écrit, on s'attache vite aux personnages et on a envie de connaître la suite et de ne jamais s'arrêter de jouer. L'aspect multijoueur en duo est extrêment bien implémenté et c'est un plaisir d'y jouer avec un.e ami.e ou un.e proche.… Expand

The developers from Hazelight StudiosThus, an interesting and affordable title called "It Takes Two" was released for the Nintendo Switch. The developers from Hazelight Studios have done a lot right with this title. You will experience an interesting story with two characters and maybe with the big love. At the same time, the control shows its positive side. Unfortunately, the graphical presentation of "It Takes Two" can't always keep up. However, solo players should rather look for a partner to play the title successfully, because you can't play it alone. Those who would like to play with a friend are welcome to get "It Takes Two" on the Switch.… Expand
