It Takes Two Review
One of the best co-op games ever made. Twelve hours and it never repeats itself.
The Good
- Every level invents a new toy, start to finish
- Built for two players and proud of it
- A story that plays like a Pixar movie with better jokes
The Rough Edges
- The Book of Love will test your patience
- A couple of mini-games are filler
It Takes Two is one of the best co-op games ever made, and it's not a debate I'm interested in having. Hazelight built a game where every single level invents a new toy: one level you're magnets, then you're toys in space, then you're in a snow globe, then a garden throws you into a boss fight as a plant and a water hose. The game refuses to repeat itself for twelve straight hours.
You play a divorcing couple turned into dolls, which sounds like a therapy session and plays like a Pixar movie with better jokes. It needs two players, period. There's no solo mode, and that's the point: you will talk, you will argue about a jump puzzle, and you will high-five like idiots when you land it.
You will argue about a jump puzzle, and you will high-five like idiots when you land it.
The knocks are small: the Book of Love character will test your patience, and a couple of mini-games are filler. That's the whole list.
A 9.6. Grab your kid, your partner, your brother, whoever's on your couch. This is the one.
