    Most fun I’ve had in a longggg time! The clever mechanics, the environments, the characters, everything has us saying ‘This is so much fun’ each time we play. (28 + 30) Buy this game and there’s no way you would regret it, it’s pretty long too and the amount of mini games alone have you playing for hours. 5 stars from me, the creators of this game just need to keep releasing more and moreMost fun I’ve had in a longggg time!

    It's very very good game, but many levels looks like dungeons, I wanted something more bright. Other than that it's great, so many different interesting mechanics and 25 mini-games will allow you to use this as a party game.

    My wife and I just finished playing A Way out. The storyline in It Takes Two isn't quite as good but the gameplay is probably the best I've ever played. This is one of the most imaginative games for two people to play. The game is constantly changing throughout the story and keeps it exciting.

I can't describe how much fun I had playing this game and how emotional it made me. It's absolutely worth the money, so anyone who stumbles across it shouldn't think twice about buying it. I wanna say a big thank you to the developers for developing a game this amazing and creative.

    Graphics:
    It Takes Two: You'll need Windows 8.1 or 10, a graphics card like a AMD R7 260X, Nvidia GTX 660, or equivalent, 8GB of RAM, and an Intel i3 2100T, AMD FX 6100, or equivalent processor to meet the minimum requirements.

    game play :

    It Takes Two is an action-adventure video game with elements from platform games. It is specifically designed for split-screen cooperative multiplayer, which means that it must be played with another player through either local or online play. The game features a large number of game mechanics from various video game genres.[1] These gameplay mechanics are connected to the story and the theme of the level. For instance, in one level, Cody gains the ability to rewind time, whereas May can replicate herself. Players have to cooperate with each other and utilize these abilities in order to progress. The game also features a large number of minigames

    about difficulty :

    nothing such difficulties has go to me every setup is okay.

    layout and design :

    it takes two game’s design is very good and attractive. The colors of its design is very good and one will never feel bored in this game. This game has amazing interface with amazing colors and smoothly feel. It contains many characters that can be unlocked by collecting artifacts in the mystery boxes. One can play with different different maps and different different themes in this game.

    Sound and Graphics:

    it takes two is an excellent outcome to one of my favorite video games. The graphics it takes two is so amazing and smooth that every characters, objects are very much clear – everything is crisper, exciting and the environment feels more vibrant and exciting in the game. It’s graphic is more beautiful than other games I have played till. The pace of the characters and their sense has performed best.

    Sounds while playing the game is medium and very nice. And also this game has background music while playing the game. This has given me a sweet experience while playing the game.    … Expand

    Clearly the best coop game I've ever played. Everything is put with intelligence, the game is beautiful globally, the performance are neat on XSX and the sound quality is great. Wide variety of gameplay, and nice tributes here and there to many other great licences (not only video games). In two words : a masterpiece.

    That this game only has 10 and 0 ratings, with the 0 ratings being people mad they don't have someone to play with, tells you all you need to know about this game.

    The handful of times I've played it, we have gamed 5 hours straight without realizing it. And we only realize it's 2am in the morning because we are falling asleep.

    This game is so good I legitimately looked for a way to give the developers more money somehow. We need more games with this level of polish and detail, and less of the "launch a broken game, fix it later" fare we've been getting.

    Well done, devs. I signed up just to write this review for you.    … Expand

    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've probably only written one or two reviews over the many years of hanging out on Metacritic but my wife and i have had so much fun playing this game together that i needed to say something about how excellent this game is.

    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.
