“It's an okay game with decent humor, but the writers and main characters are psychopaths for the elephant scenes. Enough to sour the entire experience and avoid future games from the dev.”

“First of all, ♥♥♥♥ THAT GAME. I've never seen a game with that bad storytelling and plot. The game mechanics suck balls and are ALWAYS the same. For literal hours you do the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over again and it drives…”
“controls are meant for a controler not a keyboard and mouse. but its def doable. good game and its cute. btw you only have to buy one copy for a couple to play as it has an inbuilt friend pass.”
“Great game 9,9/10 (minus 0,1 bc the very last chapter got me headaches from motion sickness), though everything else is perfect from game narration, mechanic, logic, concept and so on. Need a relatively competent…”

“This game was perfect, for the first half. Then it just kept going, and I feel like it could have ended [spoiler] right before the four puzzle pieces [/spoiler]”
“The way that It Takes Two commits to its 2-player co-op design philosophy is amazing. Each level is unique, with new puzzles and new abilities. At many points, this game reminded me of a co-op version of the 3D Mario…”

“Extremely overrated game. I seriously do not understand the hype around It Takes Two at all. The gameplay feels clunky and annoying most of the time, and the game is surprisingly laggy for something people praise this…”
