    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…
    I give It Takes Two

    I only have one person to play this game with and he is a bad gamer therefore it would be great If this game had single-player mode.

    Horrible storytelling, just bad writing disguised as dark humor that makes no sense for this type of game. If you think this is funny you are just a bad human being. The game play is amazing, however the terrible writing makes the game unplayable.

    Kudos to Hazelight for creating such a fun masterpiece. The creative thinking is one of the best. Excellent game; never a dull moment. Best of its genre so far, in my opinion.

My boyfriend and I completed the game within three days because we couldn't stop playing. It was the perfect mix of fun activities (ice skating, flying around etc) and competitive challenges (boss fights, quick time events). The difficulty is perfect for a "casual gamer" like me as the game gives you quite a lot of help (aiming assists and fair check points) so it never got too frustrating for me. Thank you for that amazing game, keep up the great work, I'm hoping for a second part :-)… Expand

    Best co-op game I've played outside a Nintendo console since Portal 2.
    There's obvious flaws in the game (odd bugs, average graphics) but ultimately it's loads of fun and it's easy enough to play with more or less anyone but challenging enough that you don't get bored. Each level has different gaming elements and its own gimmick, taking influences from better established games (shooters,    Best co-op game I've played outside a Nintendo console since Portal 2.

    Thanks EA for finally publishing gamesthat are about being fun and not pushing micro transactions.    … Expand

    I am thoroughly impressed with It Takes Two. I went from begrudgingly taking this review because I was now seemingly the Josef Fares reviewer on the site to actually being excited to see what he and Hazelight do next. The hardest part of recommending this game is that it is mandatory co-op, meaning that some people are going to have a difficult time finding the time to play a 12 hour game alongside a partner who can devote that much time as well. If that isn’t the case though and there is someone to play with, definitely give It Takes Two a shot. There’s nothing else like it.

    It Takes Two is the result of all the knowledge acquired by Josef Fares so far. A super funny cooperative adventure that forces us to think and play together.
