It Takes Two is a unique work in the gaming world, developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts in March 2021. The game has achieved resounding success and won the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2021, affirming its position in the gaming world.

The game's plot revolves around the emotional story of couple Cody and May, who are on the threshold of divorce. When they announced this decision to their daughter Rose, she accidentally turned her parents into dolls through a magical book called "Book of Love". From here, they are swept into a magical adventure where they must overcome challenges together to find their way back and mend their broken relationship.

In terms of gameplay, It Takes Two is specifically designed for a co-op experience, with no single-player mode. The game offers a unique Friend's Pass feature, allowing players to invite friends to join for free, whether playing live on the same screen or online. Each player will control a character with unique abilities, forcing them to work closely together to overcome challenges.

The highlight of It Takes Two lies in the diversity of gameplay. The game combines many different genres, from platforming, shooting, racing to interesting mini-games. Each level brings new mechanics, such as controlling a vacuum cleaner, flying clothes, or DJing in a lively nightclub. The game's puzzles require skillful coordination between two players, with May and Cody possessing complementary skills.

Visually, It Takes Two impresses with its creative and unique art style. The game environment is meticulously designed, from magical gardens to miniature house spaces, creating a colorful and lively world.

Behind the engaging gameplay elements is a profound story about love, marriage and partnership. Under the leadership of Dr. Hakim – a humorous self-help book, Cody and May not only have to overcome physical challenges but also face barriers in their own relationship. The game cleverly weaves narrative elements into gameplay, creating a metaphorically meaningful experience.

It Takes Two is a product of Hazelight Studios, an independent game studio founded in 2014 by Josef Fares - the creator of the famous Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The game is a testament to the studio's commitment to pushing the creative boundaries of the gaming industry, especially in the field of co-op gaming.
