It Takes Two Reviews
It Takes Two is a beautiful, breakneck-paced, co-op adventure that's bubbling over with creativity.
If you can ignore the story, It Takes Two has some of the best co-op gameplay in years.
Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two is one of the best co-op gaming experiences there is and an absolute joy to play from start to finish.
An excellent co-op adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's the only place it falls short.
It Takes Two is, without a doubt, the best co-op game you can play right now. It’s much more ambitious and bigger budget than A Way Out, which was still brilliant in its own way. Josef Fares and the team at Hazelight take things to the next level here, and I can only imagine what they’ll do when they’re inevitably given a triple-A budget. Grab a friend by the hand and pull them through an adventure unlike any other as soon as you can - you won’t regret it.
It Takes Two is a Pixar-worthy adventure that consistently innovates, offering players an excellent co-op experience unlike any other.
A roaring success both in its diverse co-op-driven gameplay and mature story themes that unfold in playful and heartfelt ways
It Takes Two is a fantastically creative co-op game that nails every new concept it introduces.
We need a break from this divorce game
Honestly, It Takes Two is one of the most pleasant surprises in video games I’ve ever had. I went in more or less expecting a fairly gimmick-laden brief but fun escapade, but it’s so much more than that.
It Takes Two is thus far one of the year's best platformers, best overall games, and can likely stake a claim as one of the best co-op games ever created.
It Takes Two is a remarkable puzzle-platformer that constantly surprises and delights, as long as you've got a co-op partner.
If you were even half-aware of games news at the end of 2021, you will already be a bit interested in this game. It's brimming with fun, uniquely committed to co-op gaming, plays solidly and distinctively, and usually discards one cool idea in favour of another before there's time to get bored. Now-standard graphical compromises have been made for Switch, and the typical perk of playing handheld is questionable for an always-split-screen co-op-only game. Nonetheless, it keeps the frames moving well enough not to undermine its Game-of-the-Year sparkle. It Takes Two and the good old Switch may not be a perfect marriage, but it's probably worth sticking it out, now that we're five years in.
I struggle to think of another co-op puzzle game that’s better. Maybe Portal 2? Even if that’ true, It Takes Two belongs on that same tier. Find yourself a friend (or an emotionally distanced spouse) and spend a little time with It Takes Two. It’ll be some of the most fun you’ll have this year.
It Takes Two is without a doubt one of the best platformers I've played in the last decade. The level design is incredible, and the amount of ideas in terms of its co-operative elements make every second of it so much fun to play.
It Takes Two is simply one of the best co-op games, the genius way it implements inspiration from other famous titles is done in a very beautiful way and perhaps comical too, but the best aspect of the whole experience was the surprising variety in level design and gameplay features with a very fun, clever, and entertaining co-op puzzles. It takes two falls away from the perfect score by just a little due to some hinders on the side.

A firm commitment to cooperative multiplayer, a title that seeks to continue expanding a particular idea, a way of seeing the game in which its author has placed his trust. For that reason alone it deserves a certain degree of attention. But it also manages to make this proposal based on cooperation work wonderfully. Not only does it fill an empty space in our catalogs, but it also does it with a good grade.

This superb cooperative platformer adventure comes to Nintendo Switch with a great port that has almost nothing to envy to the rest of versions. It even adds new features, such as a careful dubbing into Spanish with very recognizable voices. If you have Switch and you like cooperative games, you should not miss it for anything in the world.

Alas, what should be a runaway creative success for the game’s director, Josef Fares, is marred by a tone-deaf narrative element which shows that asinine ethnic caricatures unfortunately still exist in video games.
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.
