Alright, so here’s the deal. I came across this massive sale on this game—”It Takes Two.” Now, I’m not usually a big gamer, but something about being shrunk down into dolls caught my eye. Strange, right? Anyways, it won Game of the Year at The Game Awards, and right now, it’s like 70% off on Steam. But you gotta hurry because that deal’s evaporating faster than my morning coffee on August 11.
So, there’s this developer, Hazelight Studio, and man, they just blew up after this game took off. I guess people got a thing for platforming adventures where you gotta team up. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time. I promise, 11 bucks is nothing—might as well grab a latte and skip the drive-thru today.
Okay, sidetrack over. Back to the point. In “It Takes Two,” you get to be May and Cody, a married couple on the verge of a meltdown. Not that I’d know anything about that (heh), but in the game, they turn into dolls and dive into their quirkiest home corners. It’s all about working together—kind of like real life, but with magic and stuff. Split-screen co-op is pretty neat; local or online, your call. Every level’s got its own flavor, and you’re solving puzzles like it’s a breadcrumb trail of epic duo feats. Communicate, cooperate, yadda yadda. People say it’s the best for co-op fans—Game of the Year and all that jazz.
Now, another thing—Cody and May get these wild abilities, like launching sap or wearing space boots. I mean, who wouldn’t want to defy gravity for a hot second? Every level switches it up, keeping things fresh—like how I can’t ever finish a TV series without starting something new. The banter between these two is what sells it. It’s charming. You’ve got comedy, drama, emotional messiness—kind of like life but with more laughter and less real-world consequences. There’s even a sequel, “Split Fiction,” tackling similar themes.
Gaming keeps evolving. Fortnite, Among Us, you name it, there’s something for everyone. But right now? It’s all about teamwork and a tale of a couple on the rocks. On sale till August 11. Honestly, just dive in. Grab “It Takes Two” and see where it takes you.
