To those who've been unable to play the BAFTA award-winning game on other platforms, or want to play locally without a split screen, It Takes Two on Switch is well worth its $39.99 price-tag.

Others might be better sticking to PS4, Xbox, and PC, due to the game's superior graphics on those platforms. However, Turn Me Up Games has done a wonderful job of working within the Switch's limitations, allowing a new audience to enjoy It Takes Two's bombastic, harrowing, heartfelt journey.
