I adore A Way Out, so I had really high expectations for Hazelight’s new game. Instead of sticking to the proven, perfect formula of AWO, the developers decided to give us more of everything and as a result overdid it in many respects. The levels are too long and there are too many minigames, while the story can’t keep up. It seemed to me the narrative is just a pretext to introduce as many different gameplay mechanics as possible, and as a result the relationship between the protagonists is implausible.

It Takes Two is a one-of-a-kind experience. There is a joy and whimsy to the entire game and so much variety it’ll keep players entertained and surprised from beginning to end. The world is so detailed and gorgeous and the cohesion between storytelling and gameplay is incredibly impressive. It’s the kind of game that proves there’s still plenty of room for innovation in games.

It takes two is a great game, when you're looking for a multiplayer game. When I played it the first time, I was fascinated. The world looks cool, the story is good, the gameplay great. Every level is completely different to the level before and made a lot of fun to play it. Now I played the game meanwhile whith 7 people and it was never boring to play it another time. In my opinion the clean contrast to Unravel two. All in all, its the best multiplayer Team, if you're looking for an varied Game experience.

It Takes Two is an amazing game that keeps players on their toes with its impeccable pacing in both story and gameplay. This 3D platformer mixes genres every step of the way in a magical ride through different locals. At the center, though, is a great love story full of heartwarming moments and plenty of laughs to boot.

It Takes Two é um daqueles jogos que parecem feitos com uma ideia muito clara: ser uma experiência cooperativa do começo ao fim, sem abrir espaço para repetição ou monotonia. E nesse objetivo, ele acerta de forma impressionante. O maior destaque é justamente o design cooperativo. O jogo nunca funciona sozinho — tudo é pensado para duas pessoas interagirem o tempo inteiro, seja resolvendo puzzles, enfrentando desafios ou combinando habilidades diferentes. Isso faz com que a experiência dependa totalmente da comunicação e sincronia entre os jogadores, o que deixa tudo muito mais envolvente. A variedade de gameplay é outro ponto extremamente forte. A cada fase, o jogo muda completamente as mecânicas, introduzindo ideias novas de forma constante. Em um momento é plataforma, no outro é shooter, depois vira puzzle, corrida ou até algo completamente diferente. Isso impede qualquer sensação de repetição. A direção de arte também é muito criativa. Os cenários são cheios de personalidade, com mundos que parecem pequenos “universos temáticos” dentro da mesma história. Tudo tem um visual vibrante e bem trabalhado, o que ajuda a manter a experiência sempre interessante. A narrativa, apesar de simples, funciona bem dentro da proposta. A história do casal Cody e May é usada mais como base emocional do que como algo complexo, mas ainda assim consegue transmitir mensagens sobre relacionamento, comunicação e reconexão de forma leve e eficiente. Outro ponto positivo é o ritmo. O jogo praticamente não deixa o jogador parado muito tempo. Sempre há algo novo acontecendo, o que faz a campanha passar de forma muito fluida. It Takes Two é uma experiência extremamente bem construída. ele é uma sequência constante de ideias criativas que raramente se repetem. Nota: 10/10

It Takes Two is a beautiful and exciting co-op experience, that can potentially mean so much more for those who relate to this premise. Working together is not always the issue in a relationship, sometimes you just don’t get along. Across all the jumps, boss battles, and deadly puzzles, we get to witness this couple’s journey. From this, we also learn a few pointers on teamwork and having a ton of fun along the way.

It Takes Two is endlessly creative. Gameplay speaks to narrative, while narrative informs gameplay, and the entire experience just feels incredibly polished and detailed. It nails relationships in ways that so many games—and even other forms of media—just can’t. It asks the player to engage with the the story through mandatory co-op to tell the tale of a couple on the verge of divorce, rediscovering the good in their relationship. It’s not just one of the best action platformers in recent memory, but also a fantastic and unique story representing a dynamic that you don’t often see represented in games, at least not to this depth and nuance.

A joyful, colourful, and hugely inventive cavalcade of co-op antics that makes superb use of having two players for both its unique challenges and unscripted hijinks.

It takes two is a wacky co-op platformer but lacks in terms of content. Its a well designed game but in our opinion a bit overrated

It Takes Two est un jeu de plateforme jouable uniquement à deux avec une vibe très "Arthur et les Minimoys" notamment avec ces niveaux en extérieur. Un jeu dont la D.A est irréprochable avec beaucoup de moments mémorables et des mécaniques très recherchées et changeantes sur chaque portion du jeu. L'histoire quant à elle est assez basique, pas trop de surprise, on s'attend à ce qu'il va se passer à la fin même si sa narration nous fait développer de manière logique le changement de personnalité des personnages. On peut cependant reprocher des niveaux vers la fin trop lourds, on a presque hâte de finir ce jeu pour passer à autre chose, son côté coop est la seule chose qui me donnait envie de continuer sur les deux dernières sections. La chambre de rose est également très voire beaucoup trop long on s'attend à ce que ça se finisse et au final encore et encore du remplissage. Les mini-jeux sont assez sympathiques, peut-être un peu trop cachés pour certains, nous n'avons fait que 50% des mini jeux alors que nous explorions plutôt bien. Le plus gros point positifs du jeu sont vraiment les niveaux dans le jardin ou l'arbre en début de jeu qui donne une impression d'immensité à tout ce qui nous entoure avec un feeling du jeu Grounded. Je vous conseille de faire ce jeu avec un ami qui aime plus passer un bon moment entre ami que jouer à un jeu car son histoire n'est clairement pas ce qui va pousser à continuer l'aventure. Un GOTY qui je pense a clairement profité du bashing sur Cyberpunk 2077 sans quoi c'est ce dernier qui aurait du gagner en 2021.

The game is interesting at first, but then it becomes super tedious. If it played like the first two hours the whole time, it would be an 8 or 9.

It Takes Two is a great game, mechanically. The levels are very creative and Toy Story-esque, with great puzzles and use of co-op, though the later levels start to rapidly diminish in quality. As such, the game starts to drag, ultimately fizzling out. There is a lot of great gameplay to make up for this, though. The Nintendo Switch version of the game runs terribly, and I would never recommend it to anyone. I understand the limitations of the console, but this is an embarrassing port and should not have been released. The graphics are just terrible, with constant visual glitches and pop-in; sometimes textures simply not loading in at all. Performance wise, it rarely hits a solid 30 FPS and frequently chugs in the low 20s. There are a handful of moments where the framerate makes the game unplayable, and one or two moments where the game freezes up altogether. A poor show, altogether. Buyer beware.
SummaryFrom Hazelight comes It Takes Two an innovative co-op adventure where uniquely varied gameplay and emotional storytelling intertwine in a fantastical journey. Founded to push the creative boundaries of what's possible in games, Hazelight is the award-winning studio behind the critically acclaimed A Way Out and Brothers: A Tale of Two Son... Read More
