While it\u2019s not perfect, it\u2019s perfect at what it is: A great game to share with a friend or loved one and experience a story that has certainly been told before, but has never been represented in such a way.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most games start with a damsel in distress or a missing artifact stolen by a rotten scoundrel or something else fantastical and heroic. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Takes Two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> starts with two parents, Cody and May, considering a divorce, and while that may seem like a horrible place to start a game from, it\u2019s one that makes perfect sense once you get into it. Their daughter, in typical fashion, magically transforms the two parents into two dolls of her own making. Now the two parents must work together to get back home and to their daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"It Takes Two \u2013 Official \u201cWe\u2019re Better Together\u201d Trailer\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qSJN4hN28kg?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tale as old as time, as we\u2019ve seen it in cinema flicks generation after generation, but in this premise, it totally works. It gives you a simple focal point: returning to loved ones, and then expands that formula by taking two people who by all accounts should <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each other, and forces them to work together in the craziest of scenarios. The dialogue is emotionally-fueled, there\u2019s plenty of jokes and poking fun, but bubbling underneath it all, there\u2019s a greater understanding of each other\u2019s faults and strengths and they come out quite punctuated in this miniature-sized world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73242\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155419\/ITT_screen1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>As dolls, Cody and May are now smaller sized and have a much larger world to explore as a result. Thankfully, the platforming you\u2019ll be performing as you galavant around enlarged rooms and areas is spot on. Jumping, double-jumping, dashing, and running about feels good, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surprisingly <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good, and makes the exploration a delight instead of a slog. It\u2019s not just the movement, but what you do with it that feels so good. This is, at the end of the day, a puzzle-platformer, and the puzzle parts tickle your brain in a way that games rarely do these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The puzzles in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Takes Two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> don\u2019t just fall in the two categories most puzzle-platform co-op games do, either move the platform while the other is standing on it or move ahead and create a path for the other person to follow. Instead, they use the \u2018story\u2019 of what is happening in the game to move it along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73244\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155429\/ITT_screen3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>For example, in a section with an empty wall, one person throws nails for the other person to use to reach higher and further areas. It is clever scenarios that use the environment and weaponry or tools that make sense in this miniature world. Don\u2019t expect the game to force you to do the same thing over and over again, either, as it\u2019s always mixing it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing that the game excels at is offering you mini-games to fill in any gaps of long platforming sections with an extra bit of excitement. There are a total of 25 of them in the game, and each one offers a battle against one another to prove who is best. Each one uses a part or object in the environment to provide this entertainment, which is just another way how the game manages to be so clever in its design, such as how they handled the simplicity of a cardboard box. Cody hops into the box and pops his head out of the holes, and May tries to bonk him with a hammer in a game of Whack-a-mole. It\u2019s absolutely absurd, but this game loves to play to its strengths, and simply having this fantasy world where stuff like this is possible is a playground to make it all shine so brilliantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73243\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3-b3bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/26155424\/ITT_screen2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>While all of the in-between is a means to push the story forward, it creates its own story between the players: one of cooperative escapades, and over-the-top action that keeps you always thirsting for more. It\u2019s whimsical, sure, but it does it well and never feels <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">too<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over-the-top where it takes you out of the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Takes Two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not only a great co-op game, but it\u2019s an expertly designed puzzle-platformer that shows itself up with every new level and challenge. It comes at my highest recommendation for anyone who has a friend or family member who is looking for something new or looking for a way to connect with better. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Takes Two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has some high challenges, but overcoming them <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">together<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is something that is hard to describe, it transcends words and becomes something you just have to experience to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Takes Two is available now for <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/product\/UP0006-PPSA02342_00-ITTAKESTWORETAIL\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playstation<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/it-takes-two-digital-version\/9nxvc0482qs5\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xbox<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steam<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/widget\/1426210\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"190\" frameborder=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bigbossbattle.com\/10-non-violent-multiplayer-games-that-arent-sports-related\/\"><b>Love multiplayer games which aren\u2019t violent or sports-related?
