    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One may look at It Takes Two and wonder why it won Game of the Year in 2021 and beat out games like Resident Evil Village, Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Metroid Dread. Is it really as good as they say? Well, yes in regards to its quality, but I wouldn't say it was Game of the Year.

    I love co-op games, and there's not a ton nowadays. It Takes Two was a breath of fresh air and delivered one of the most fun local co-op experiences I've had in a while. It is co-op only, so be sure you have someone dedicated to play the entire game with you, either local or online. It is a game that will test your synergy working together, cause you will definitely need it.

    The story is simple enough, a couple on the verge of divorce and their young daughter caught in the middle of it, which is ironically one of the best scenarios for a co-op game and it took advantage of this kind of situation rather well in terms of the gameplay. Both Cody and May will be able to use different abilities throughout the game and you need to rely on each other to overcomes obstacles. While the story is touching, there are a few parts where the characters are actually kind of dumb and don't think things through until it's too late, which is a bit annoying. The book is also really annoying too, but he does do a good job at getting Cody and May angry at the same thing, at least, so I guess there's that.

    For a game that just looks like a 3D platformer on the surface, it has a ton of varied gameplay! The game has parts where it turns into a fighting game, a dungeon crawler, a flying game, and many others to keep the experience fresh and new. All the while exploring some beautifully designed levels based around things around the house. Being shrunk down into dolls and throwing in some magic into the mix made for some really fun, unique, and interesting set pieces. Never a dull moment in the game.

    It's fun and easy to play, and makes for a really good bonding activity with a friend, loved one, or anyone really. it's one of the best co-op games I've played. I do think there were better games that came out in 2021, but I am happy this game was recognized for being the fun title. You'll find a lot of enjoyment in it!    … Expand

    | Best Multiplayer Game Out There |

    This is a multiplayer game. First and foremost, it is a multiplayer game meant for you to play with a friend (or rather, a partner, if a gamer managed to find someone) and I think it excels in that aspect. It is the perfect multiplayer experience, with an interesting comedic story, fun gaming elements, and enough competitive and cooperative moments    | Best Multiplayer Game Out There |

    This is a multiplayer game.

It is the perfect multiplayer experience, with an interesting comedic story, fun gaming elements, and enough competitive and cooperative moments that add variety to the game.

    Overall, this game is fun. However, I do think that the game can be way too easy, and many of the cutscenes are just... bad. Whether that be the basic graphics or the heavy-handed story, it just isn't as good compared to the creativity embedded throughout the game. So much so, that it is nearly perfect.    … Expand

    Played this game every night for like two weeks with my wife, and she loved the **** out of it. It was a lot of fun, and I love couch coop games for the way they get my wife to take part in my favorite hobby with me.

    Honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've had. Mainly because I've rarely if ever played games with my girlfriend. We jumped on it without knowing anything, and we both had such an amazing experience she is now more open to gaming

    One of the best cooperative gaming experiences of my life. My wife, who is not a gamer, at all, actually played this with me and had so much fun! After nearly 15 years of marriage this game just might turn her into a gamer. A masterpiece of a game!

    Beautiful game for two. One of the best mechanics ever that amaze me with every level. There's so many moments from this game that I would like to be expanded, but then ended and gave me a desire for more. Must play!

    Played this with my girlfriend. Probably the most effort I’ve seen a game go into level designs just to sprint through them in 10 seconds. Definitely a very simple game for casual gamers which I understand due to its nature. This game is basically a single play through, almost like watching a movie play out. Short and sweet.

    游戏制作者一定玩儿过很多游戏，里面有很多别的游戏玩儿法的影子，这是我玩游戏以来遇到的最好的双人合作游戏。

    It Takes Two is the magnum opus not only of Hazelight Studios but of co-op experiences in general. It’s one of those extremely rare games that it’s almost impossible to find a fault to any of its elements, be it the longevity, gameplay, art direction, music, boss fights, environmental puzzles, innovation etc. A truly flawless experience.

    It Takes Two can be considered one of the best games in the history of Co-Op genre, one that takes it above and beyond video games, animations and even Hollywood movies in terms of emotional relationships.
