It Takes Two

It's fun and if you got someone to play it with, even online, they don't even need to buy the game. Need I really say more?

Honestly one of the best games I've played with character development and story line to the character arcs. Everything at the start of the game became a pain in the ass but slowly got used to the effort and put the time in. By the end of the game we really didn't want it to end and just enjoyed everything about it, each level was something absolutely new and different and we just couldn't believe the amount of detail and music involved in creating such a different environments from fighting a vacuum box to jumping between time / space to then having to create a beat with a DJ mixer board. Even with the cut scenes, it's almost if you add them all up as one big video, it could come off as a awesome movie. Very impressed, we were sad it had ended

this game really brought me closer to my friend. after the first third, we both started to dislike it so much that our sheer hate was conjugating us together. gameplay-wise, very long for no reason. is it a puzzle game? because those are really easy, and the characters end up telling you what to do if you stop to think for two seconds. platformer? i mean, it was fun at times — like when you just let Cody and May slide. it was captivating due to the game’s nice environment design. anyway, since the gameplay changes every chapter but also, at its core, stays the same, it’s hard to call it skill-based, which leads to the question: why is it so long then? it’s like a series that needed to end after the first season. it was fun, but then they start to reuse the same concepts and just make it so artificially long that i was contemplating a rage quit — and i love playing monopoly, so that tells you volumes about how hellishly boring and long this game becomes. plot felt really May-centered. gameplay too. good thing you can switch up characters every time you enter the game. anyway, for the size and how heavily story-focused it seemed, we don’t really get to know much about those characters. we are basically stuck on the same topics. May works too much, and that’s why she doesn’t support Cody, who is frustrated with the lack of attention and the fact that his wife completely disregards his passions and him as a person. but honestly, we could’ve gotten so much more than that. it felt one-sided and two-dimensional, even though it seemed like the writers tried to make it deeper than that. also, as a child of divorced parents, i can say that it would’ve been a much stronger message if they decided to divorce but stayed in good relationship. imagine if the game took this approach, with an emphasis on how important it is to find balance and navigate such a difficult decision. i can also say with 99% guarantee that it would’ve hit home so much more for most children of divorced parents, and the story could’ve been much more bittersweet and beautiful. instead, it’s just the same romantic comedy all over again. the humor wasn’t bad, but it didn’t do much at the end when both of us just wanted it to end. the best part of the game was playing the chess mini-game. with that, i’m out.

I just finished this game with my friend, and all I can say is: wow. What an amazing experience! I’m already planning to replay it with my girlfriend it’s truly the kind of game made for couples or close friends. No matter who you choose to play it with, you're in for a great time. What stood out most to me was how every task felt like a surprise. Each level introduces new mechanics that are creative and fun, keeping the game play fresh from start to finish. The story is 1000% worth experiencing, and it’s something I’ll definitely revisit. The game is super relaxing while still being engaging. The mechanics aren’t too difficult, which makes it perfect for casual players, but there’s still enough variety to keep it interesting. The music and environments in each stage are beautiful and immersive, adding to the overall charm. And let’s not forget the mini-games! They’re a fun little bonus that add even more flavor to the experience. It’s rare to find a game that balances storytelling, gameplay, and co-op interaction so well. Without a doubt, this is one of the best co-op games I’ve ever played. If you're looking for a meaningful, fun, and heartwarming game to enjoy with someone, I highly recommend this one!

🧸It Takes Two 10/10 Is a perfect game for couples. The dialogues were a bit weak but the rest of the game is a work of art. Girls, try to play it with someone patient, understanding and who will let you win the mini-games.

Level design, art and gameplay (to some extent) are very good in this game. Gameplay is fun to some extent because you are given abilities, then lose them, then get other ones and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, the story, although good intended, doesn't hold up. Both protagonists don't have chemistry and remain the same till the end. I am pretty sure they will go their own ways at the end, no matter what. In conclusion, I am not convinced. This ending was a lot better than the one from "A Way Out" (another one of this studio's game). I can give them props for not ruining it like that. SPOILER: The Elephant murder scene and the main protagonists are what I greatly disliked. I am pretty sure there is a psychopath in the development team.

I utterly loved this game. We played it with my partner and had loads of awesome and funny moments. The visuals are amazing, the levels offer lots of variety. It´s also really enjoyable to just run around and get amazed by the scenery, finding minigames and easter eggs. Many characters gave me cuteness overload, lol. A Way Out was good, It Takes Two was even better imo. Truly a co-op game. Would warmly recommend this creative and beautiful game to anyone.

Another great two-player co-op game with good characters and story from Hazelight. Like A Way Out, it's not super long, but it's a great game and is easily worth the price especially on a good sale. If I had one complaint, it was that the ending felt a little abrupt, but it's a small issue in an otherwise great game. Hazelight specializes in co-op games, and if that's your thing definitely support these guys and check them out.

The best 2-Player Game I have ever played. Masterpiece! Get one of your friends (or bf or gf) and play to the end! Looking forward to finishing it!

This game is food for the soul. It takes you on a wholesome journey filled with different adventures and minigames that will make you shriek and laugh. It's funny and witty and full of love. Can't wait to replay it!

Fun and easy to play with friends. The story line and characters are hilarious and brings out the little kid in you. Loved it.

Verily, a most splendid game indeed; be sure to enlist the aid of a companion who is both wise and capable enough to assist thee in navigating the perplexing puzzles.

This game is so friendly and is really worth a buy you can play with friends, lovers and siblings

peak game, so fun and the soundtracks are bomb lalalalalala, amazingly freakalicious too... , def play it when you can <3

One of the best co-op games out there—hands down. It Takes Two is a brilliant mix of creative level design, fun mechanics, and a surprisingly heartfelt story. Every level brings something new, and it never gets boring. You’ll laugh, get challenged, and maybe even tear up a bit. It’s built entirely around two-player co-op (local or online), and it nails the experience. Perfect for couples, friends, or anyone looking to share a unique adventure. If you enjoy teamwork-based gameplay and great storytelling, don’t skip this one. 10/10 – A must-play for co-op fans.

One of the best Co-op focus game I have ever played , your experience may vary depends on the person you are playing with. I'm glad i was able to finish it with a really close friend of mine.

Truly an amazing game. It had stunning scenery, really engaging gameplay (although it can sometimes be a bit tedious), but overall it was really fun to play. The only two negative things I have to say about this game: (1) Rose's parents were extremely FOUL for the elephant incident, so much that it even made me feel like a terrible person doing what the game intends the player to do, and (2) I wish I could erase the book from this game.

10/10 An absolutely awesome game. Super fun and definitely worth every penny (even at full price, tbh). Every level was unique and always brought something new to the table. The gameplay was innovative and kept introducing new tools and tricks to collaborate with your partner. There are a bunch of minigames and a couple of clever easter eggs and video game references to discover. Aside from the divorce storyline being kinda cringe, this game is one everyone will enjoy playing for hours. - I played with keyboard and mouse and my wife with a controller.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience playing this beautifully crafted game together. It is honestly a work of art considering the game-play, visuals, level design, story, and overall style. Games like this are few and far between. Playing it brought laughs and moments of reflection between us. 10/10.

Game play is extremely fun to play with a partner. Many differing styles of play and a variety of puzzles. The story though is not only extremely strange, but also extremely uncomfortable at times. I would have preferred a story that was much more kid friendly and less traumatizing in regards to what types of behaviors have to be done at least twice in the story. Because of the story itself, I can't recommend it. The game play is good though, so if you have a partner and don't care about story lines, it's a great choice for co-op.

A very good experience to play, I think both with someone experienced or not. With the lack of co-op games (exclusively so even rarer) this takes the cake for one of the best I've ever played with my wife. Actually, it's so good... it takes two. I'll see myself out.

It Takes Two is a game that made me laugh, yell, question some writing choices, and still, somehow, love it. There’s so much to appreciate in this game - it’s genuinely one of the most creative and polished co-op experiences I’ve ever had. But I also have thoughts. Especially about a couple of moments that made me sit back and go “Wait. What??” So, the basic idea: you play as Cody and May, a couple on the brink of divorce who magically get turned into dolls. They’re forced to work together through a bizarre, magical world guided by an overly dramatic (and honestly hilarious) talking book called Dr. Hakim to fix their broken relationship. First off, this game is beautiful. I mean it. Every level feels handcrafted, with this whimsical, detailed aesthetic that somehow combines Pixar charm with straight-up trippy fantasy. And the environments are wildly different from one another - it’s never just "a new level," it’s a whole new world. And each time you think you’ve seen it all, the game introduces an entirely new mechanic, and then another, and another. The gameplay is amazing. You’ll go from standard platforming to piloting planes, sneaking past enemies, solving puzzles, playing rhythm games, shooting fireballs and even fighting in a tiny squirrel Mortal Kombat arena (yes, really). And somehow, it all just works. The controls are super tight, the co-op mechanics are clever, and the constant variety keeps things exciting. My girlfriend and I never got bored - occasionally mad at each other, sure, but bored? Never. Now for the “but” — because there is one. Narratively, things get... weird. Not in the magical, fun way but in the "why did the writers think this was a good idea?" way. Without spoiling anything, there’s one particular scene that’s just emotionally manipulative in a way that feels totally unearned. It’s supposed to be heart-wrenching, but instead it comes off as disturbing and tonally out of sync with the rest of the game. What’s worse is that it never really gets addressed later. No reckoning, no apology, no moment of “hey, maybe that was too far.” It felt like a big emotional beat was missing - one that would’ve made the later, more tender scenes land better. Also, while I loved playing it, I wouldn’t exactly recommend it for complete beginners. It looks super friendly and accessible, but it moves. Constantly. New mechanics pop up all the time, and if your co-op partner isn’t comfortable with a controller, it can get frustrating real fast. My girlfriend doesn’t play many games, and while we had fun overall, there were some moments where she just wanted to yeet the controller and walk away. Totally fair. That said - we made it. We finished it. And honestly? I think we’ll remember it for a long time. It’s the kind of game that gives you stories. Inside jokes. Moments where you both nail a tricky platform section and cheer like kids. TL;DR: It Takes Two is a fantastic, gorgeous, imaginative co-op adventure with some surprisingly dark narrative choices and a few emotional gaps. Just maybe don’t expect every scene to make sense or land the way it should. Would recommend, especially if your relationship can survive a few platforming puzzles and one deeply scarring elephant scene. 8/10

Don't let anyone tell you this is only a game for couples, the game is so freaking fun regardless of if you play it with your spouse or bros. I didn't know I missed Little Big Planet before I played this game. 10/10, gonna 100% this shit soon.

This is one of the best co-op games I have ever played. It has great story, fun puzzles, amazing boss battles all which requires combine efforts of two players. Best game for husband and wife :D

Played this at 3am with the homie somehow turned into accidental couples therapy. Would 100% argue over a puzzle again.

It takes two was a ride back to my childhood. It reminded me of my favourite animation movies, especially Toy Story !! The title itself is like a Disney Pixar movie, it's so wholesome and amazing. Only difference is instead of watching your favourite characters on screen, here you get to control them, play as them. It's just perfect, it's like when the critic in Ratatouille was given the dish ratatouille and he just rewound himself back to his childhood and he enjoyed the dish like a kid. But here i'm the critic. So as the critic lemme say this, It Takes Two is an insanely fun Co-op adventure. It got a heartwarming story, tons of moments that makes you laugh, beautiful scenaries, quality gameplay and ofc graphically great as well. The emotional impact this game gives it's players is so high which makes this game perfect for couples, but you don't need a GF to enjoy this genius piece of art so yeah, you're good. The mini games, mutually depended puzzles, the acting etc... Everything that this title felt turned gold if you ask me. Hazelight Studios really established Co-op genre as their territory with this one. So, if you have a buddy or anyone to play with jump right in, sit back, relax and have fun. That's all i'm saying...

this is game is very fun, the coop system, the playstyle. Everything is just fun. Story is good too

The game is somewhat enjoyable. The main takeaways are the spit screen gameplay has its moments where it is helpful, but sometimes it just feels like I'm a kid playing Minecraft on x-box and the screen is sliced between my sibling and I. The struggle to find people to play this game is also a factors that detours me. Friends just don't have the time to play the game for long periods. As long as you have a constant person to play the game with, I suppose this would be 100% avoidable. I am yet to finished the game though after owning it for months. It just collects dust in my library...

Great game. Had fun time playing and bonding with my partner.

If you're good at video games and like playing games with friends don't play this deadass it's not very fun Play Resident Evil 5 it's straight up a better co op game

Played It Takes Two with a friend and it was one of the best co-op games I’ve tried. Every level felt fresh with new mechanics, and the story actually had heart. Some puzzles were challenging but never frustrating.

One of the best co-op games ever. Creative levels, fun mechanics, and constant variety. Perfect for playing with a friend or partner. 10/10 teamwork required.

This game is perfect for couples or 2 friends! The story is super cute and great! Each part or "act" in the game is uniquely designed and very immersive. I also really love how you have to play as a team and work together to get to the next part of the game! It is definitely a really good game!

Wonderful coop games. had some challenging levels and left upto our imagination. Felt like the game ended quickly though. U wont knw how time travels

Possibly the best coop (couch or online) game i've ever played. Played it with my son 7y old, and he is delighted. This is the only game he always wants more.. (other games he just swaps out fast) - Story - Mechanics - Puzzles - Controls - Voice overs - Graphics and world Everything blends in so well. It's captivating, and well thought out! 10/10 game, and i dont give 10's lightly.

This is so much fun! I can't wait to finish it it's great! A little easy most of the time but the journey is just pure fun and really really pretty. It's all very very very well crafted.

Very fun, me and my girlfriend played it, it has some amazing visuals and fun mechanics just sometimes it’s buggy, and it’s hard but very fun

It was an amazing experience, literally just finished it with my friend. The level designs, puzzles, abilities, ect were all so creative and incredibly fun. Im glad Cody and Mae got their happy ending <333

wholesome story, very good graphics, love it so much! Genre: Slice of life, Romance, Comedy, Violence.

What a creative game. I'm amazed at how Hazelight Studios managed to weave in such creative levels within a story about a married couple finding their love back again. Would recommend this game to everyone! (Although do be patient if your partner is not a gamer)

really fun game if you have friends, i only had a slave to play with so its half fun last moment little bit awkward.

A must play with your signifigant other. Engaging for a seasoned gamer and someone brand new to it. I've been playing this on and off with my girlfriend since December of 2023. We completed the game in 28 hours. Easily one of the best purchases I've made on Steam, and its a steal on sale. We both enjoyed it immensly. Now its time for A Way Out and Split Fiction!

It is a fantastic game with deep emotional meaning beneath its fun surface. The gameplay is easy to pick up, making it perfect for those players have little gaming experience. What really stands out are the stunning, imaginative worlds. Each level feels like visiting a different theme park, full of color and creativity. Playing through them with a partner is an unforgettable experience.

Great co-op teamwork game to have fun with someone else that will definitely have its funny moments which may be more depending on what type of person you are playing with.

Highly recommend for a relaxing game with your partner or friend. I mean it gets stressful during like boss fights but I'm having a great time with my girl~ It's worth it!

I love this game so much! I am currently on my second time playing through this game. The nice thing is the switching of characters. I truly love the story and the game mechanics!

I enjoyed this game overall, I played with my boyfriend and the puzzles are fun along with the mini-games, but some of the obstacles are a bit non-responsive or require you to hit it a couple times before it actually catches that you're pressing e or f. There's also a part when they're in the club where you're supposed to hit e when the white ball is in the yellow. Both of us tried to do it and it didn't work half the time even when the timing was correct, this part was also just very slow in general so it took a long time. I'm a fan of puzzle games, so this was a win for me!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The best co-op experience I've ever had." It Takes Two is a masterpiece of co-op gaming. Every level feels fresh with new mechanics, and the story is surprisingly heartfelt. Whether you're laughing at the chaos or solving puzzles together, it's pure fun from start to finish. You have to play it with a partner—this game is made for two, and it absolutely delivers.

genuenly really fun 2 player game. the reviews didnt lie. didnt fishish it so far but i love it.
