Video Game Review: It Takes Two

 

I sometimes play video games with my brother on line (since we live many miles apart). We started not too long ago (we've been doing it for about a year now), and we started with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game we used to play in an arcade growing up (we are in our late forties now).

We only played this for about two days and needed a change. Then we tried a few others (including the Aliens one before they took it off GamePass. 

Finally, he suggested It Takes Two. Now, this was a really fun game. The story and characters weren't all that great, but the gameplay was really interesting because it kept changing.

The game is about two parents who basically hate each other and want to divorce, and their daughter thinks its her fault. So one day, they turn into two of her toys and they try to become human again. During their journey, the "Book of Love" (yes, you read that right) tried to show them how to find love again (or at least how to cooperate).

The two characters then begin an adventure going through their own house (and garden) until they realize that they belong together. As they go to the different setting, their abilities change which almost makes for a completely different game each time.

This is a two-player cooperative game, which requires you to talk to the other player to solve puzzles. That part was really fun. The main plot of the game can get a bit tiresome, but the levels are not. I wish there were more games like this. It was so imaginative and different from other games I've played, and the co-op part was great!

Cheers!
