    Before he switched to making games, Josef Fares was a highly appreciated swedish movie director. I think that really helps with the Hazelight games to not only focus on gameplay. The story, meaning and interactions between characters is at least as important, if not more so.

    My wife and I play a lot of games together and on our own, so this game seamed unnecessary to use. However, recently we have had a bit of a grey cloud over our friendship and communication, so i just wanted to say thank you for being the ones to have gotten me to try this fun solution. I will update the comments to let everyone know how it went!
    [NEW] UPDATE: We played last night and wow I have never laughed so much with my wife. The game really kept us invested and incredibly immersed in the very high end graphical world. It's very funny on how relative it can be at times, and my wife and I could not set the controllers down. It wasn't until 1am that we finally called it a night on gaming and maybe we stayed up for a while longer after that 😉 so far it has been great to see some of our own faults layed out in front of us and when we laugh at it I guess it takes away the "big deal" factor we use to feel about some of those things. It has definitely helped and I am looking forward to our next session tonight! 😀

    It Takes Two is my favorite game of all time. Solely because it's the one game I could get my fiancee to play with me. I convinced her to play it with me. Eventually she was begging me to play more levels when we were both off work. It made me so incredibly happy that my non-gamer SO was excited to play a game with me. It's an experience I'm not sure I'll ever get again. So incredibly thankful to the Hazelight Studios for this masterpiece.

    Really great work here highlighting the strengths of this game. I like the way you guys look at games and media experiences in general. I think there's a tendency from most reviewers to just crave something revolutionary because they are bored of games and meanwhile most gamers just want something super challenging they can feel awesome for beating. But those perspectives are both missing out on so much.
    And I think you guys take a more clear-eyed open minded view.

She loves the game, the story the visual style....but it's too much to learn in too short a time span for a newcomer. I let her take all the time she needs when she gets stuck but it doesn't stop her from getting frustrated eventually.

    Unfortunately I didn't have quite the same relationship with the person I played this with, but it was still an excellent game. I'll admit that the story was kind of hit or miss throughout, but the end is VERY effective because of the way it really shows you how far the two of them had come. I played this with a friend I don't get to see much and we had an absolute blast. More so then the story, the gameplay and worlds you explore are just so imaginative. I was constantly blown away by the creativity that was on display for each new mechanic they introduced. Truly a wonderful game that will be on my short list for Game of the Year.

    My girlfriend and I started playing It Takes Two about a week ago. We are both gamers, but I’m definitely much more of a gamer than she is. She plays a lot, but like more of the adventure type of games. She likes PvE generally. I can play pretty much anything, but I tend to get a lot more invested into strategies, metas, etc.
    It was pretty awesome to see you guys come to a similar conclusion as we did on our own at 4:47 in the video! It was a huge confidence booster for her as well, since she often felt defeated when I started playing Red Dead Online much later than her, yet I am a better crackshot than she is.
    We’re about halfway into the game, and we love it! I wish I waited until this week to buy it though- it’s on sale for $25. :(
