It Takes Two Review
Ойындар
Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4/5, and PC.
"It Takes Two is a spectacular co-op adventure that lays down a path of great gameplay ideas and uses it to play a giddy game of hopscotch. It's beautiful, breakneck-paced, and bubbling over with creativity, and playfulness and experimentation are rewarded at every turn. If you have any kind of co-op partner in your life, be they spouse, friend, sibling, or other (even a child, though the themes might be too mature for them), It Takes Two is a truly joyful trip you really need to take together."

What about Brothers? I’m surprised no one asked you in 2 years.
Started this game recently and am very impressed it’s so fun, looks great, and hasn’t lagged so far in pacing.
Playing it with my friend right now and we're having a blast! We burst out laughing more than once during our first 2 hours of playtime - can't remember the last time that happened to me in a videogame. It's honestly brilliant and my GOTY for me so far (and I'm playing MH Rise right now as well and loving that one). It Takes Two is one of THE biggest surprises for me this year. A real breathe of fresh air.
