It Takes Two

 

1. What kind of game is It Takes Two?

It Takes Two  is a cooperative adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios
and published by EA. Players control a married couple, Cody and May, and must solve various puzzles and actions in a fantasy world together. This game has a unique structure that cannot be played alone and must be played with a friend or partner.
Please note that you may fight a little with your partner as you progress through the game. 
It Takes Two is an original game that mixes various genres, exquisitely combining puzzle, platformer, and action-adventure elements. 
Each stage introduces different game mechanics to provide constant freshness to players.
This game goes beyond simple cooperation and delivers a touching experience through 'emotional storytelling centered on the relationship between two people'.

 

2. Main features of the game

• Forced Co-Op  - A game structure where two players cannot progress without helping each other. They must cooperate with each other to solve puzzles and defeat bosses.
• Creative Gameplay  - Each chapter introduces new game mechanics and puzzles, with certain sections offering imaginative gameplay such as manipulating time or reversing gravity.
• Emotional Story  - A touching story of a couple on the verge of divorce who go on a journey to restore their relationship. Players will experience **a process of understanding and communicating with each other** rather than just a simple game. 
• A variety of genre elements  - puzzle, action, platformer, racing, and even traditional RPG elements - are introduced to provide a new experience at every moment.
• Immersive graphics and sound  - The game's visuals are as beautiful as an animated film, and the music and sound effects also serve as elements that maximize emotional immersion.

 

3. Game play experience

The most impressive thing about the game  was the constantly changing gameplay .
One moment you jump like a platformer, the next moment you defeat enemies like a shooting game, or enjoy the speed like a racing game, so there was no boredom or monotony at all because the gameplay changed with each chapter. 
Also, since you have to use different abilities for each character, you naturally have a cooperative experience. It would be the best experience with a friend or lover. However, in some cases, you may argue a little.
In particular, each chapter has a completely different game design, so every moment is fresh. For example, in one stage, one character uses a **bee-shooting gun** and the other has an **explosion-inducing ability** and you have to cooperate.
In another stage, you have to use **special abilities** such as **controlling time or creating clones**, so elements that require cooperation continue to appear.
I think these experiences were the most fun elements in this game. 

 

4. Advantages and Disadvantages

merit

disadvantage

• Not suitable for solo gamers as it requires 2 players at all times.

• The ending of the story is somewhat predictable - it's touching, but follows a typical ending structure.
