It Takes Two

📝 About Game

It Takes Two is a genre-defying, story-rich co-op adventure developed by Hazelight Studios and published under the EA Originals label. Designed exclusively for two players, the game cannot be played solo—it must be experienced cooperatively, either locally on split-screen or online with a Friend’s Pass (only one player needs to own the game). The story follows Cody and May, a married couple on the brink of divorce, who are magically transformed into small handmade dolls by the tears of their daughter, Rose. Trapped in a whimsical yet dangerous world crafted from household objects, the two must work together to navigate bizarre environments, confront quirky characters, and mend their fractured relationship. Each level presents new mechanics, settings, and gameplay styles, keeping the experience constantly fresh. From riding frogs through swamps to navigating space gravity puzzles, the variety is endless. Players must collaborate using asymmetric abilities unique to each level—one might control time while the other clones themselves, or one might shoot nails while the other swings with a hammer. The game blends platforming, puzzle-solving, combat, and even mini-games into a cohesive, emotionally resonant journey. The writing balances humor with heart, while the environments are richly detailed, imaginative, and interactive. It Takes Two is critically acclaimed, winning multiple Game of the Year awards in 2021. Its success is rooted in its ability to make two players feel emotionally and mechanically connected at every step. It’s not just a game about cooperation—it’s a celebration of it, offering a heartfelt narrative wrapped in brilliant gameplay design. Whether played with a partner, friend, or family member, It Takes Two delivers an unforgettable co-op experience unlike anything else on PC.
