It Takes Two – Sony Playstation 4 (2021)

It Takes Two on PlayStation 4 is a genre-bending cooperative action-adventure platformer developed by Hazelight Studios, known for its unique emphasis on mandatory two-player co-op. The story follows Cody and May, a married couple on the brink of divorce, who are magically transformed into their daughter’s handmade dolls. Guided by a flamboyant, anthropomorphic relationship therapy book named Dr. Hakim, they must reluctantly work together through a fantastical and ever-changing world within their own home to return to their human forms and mend their fractured relationship. Gameplay is a constantly evolving spectacle, with each new level introducing entirely new mechanics and abilities that require both players to collaborate creatively to overcome puzzles, defeat bosses, and navigate diverse environments. From piloting an airplane made of underwear to battling gangster squirrels, the game constantly reinvents itself to keep the experience fresh. It Takes Two was met with widespread critical acclaim, lauded for its innovative co-op design, imaginative level design, charming characters, and heartfelt story that seamlessly intertwines narrative and gameplay, ultimately earning it numerous awards, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021.
