It Takes Two for Nintendo Switch

My husband found this on Steam for us to play together. I'm not usually a video game person, but this is adorable. The story hit home with us; married couple with a young kid dealing with money, work, and time. But even if it isn't your story, you'll love the worlds and images. The characters were well thought out and it feels very immersive. The main story is enjoyable the side games are very cute. This is a true co-op where you have to play together and help each other, but can also have some fun small competitions. It was hard to stop. We got to almost 100% completion. We played it just the two of us until we finished the story, and then had our 8-year-old play it with us too. He enjoyed it as well. Highly recommend for couples.

Best Couch Co-op In A While

Title says it all - this is the best couch co-op game I've played in years. My partner and I had been looking for more co-op games to play together, and after seeing trailers for this we grabbed it on sale to try out. We had such a blast! You truly have to work together and cooperate to complete each puzzle in the game. We were impressed by how creative and imaginative each of the levels were, and the storyline and character growth were both engaging and relatable. I would recommend this game for adults or older teens.We started off on the PS4 version and about halfway through realized we could upgrade to the PS5, so we finished the playthrough on the 5 version. Both versions handled well, but I enjoyed that the PS5 version took advantage of the unique DualSense ... MoreTitle says it all - this is the best couch co-op game I've played in years.

Note that only one person needs to actually own the game if playing online. Of course, both players do need to have active PS+ memberships.Perfect game to play with your partner. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Bet Co-Op Game Yet

This game is phenomenal. One of the best co-op games I have ever played. The story is well written, the voice actors are great, the gameplay/controls are easy to pick up (my 4-year-old easily plays), and the creativity of puzzles and general gameplay is so well thought out.As you progress through the game your characters get different "tools" that are used during that part of the story and they are creatively integrated into the gameplay. It just makes the game so much fun with enough variety to fully enjoy from start to finish.My wife saw my son and I playing and she asked to play it through with me. As I am starting to replay the game, though I know how to complete the puzzles, I am still finding it enjoyable. In fact, it is still fun enough that I will be ... MoreThis game is phenomenal.

Good, meaningful game

I saw a bad review saying the game is "demonizing divorce" and it gets "impossibly hard" early on. The game is about a divorcing couple who plan on going through the act but haven't thought that their problems could actually be solved if they paid attention to the details in each others lives and bothered to communicate. The couple just bicker and never took the time to communicate nor fully took the time to respect each other's passions and interest. The point isn't to "demonize marriage;" it is that sometimes some problems are not as bad they seem if the time is taken to communicate and embrace and analyze the problem. Also, I am not sure why someone would buy a game without reading up on it? Implusive purchases, impulsive decisions in general will lead to ... MoreI saw a bad review saying the game is "demonizing divorce" and it gets "impossibly hard" early on.

Also, I am not sure why someone would buy a game without reading up on it? Implusive purchases, impulsive decisions in general will lead to disappointment. As for difficulty, if you have played video games for awhile, it is not really difficult. It is a mixture of several genres, like third person puzzler/platformer, shooters, raceing games, fighting games, and more. my significant other bought the game and I played it with her. She is not at all accustomed to gaming, nor skillful at games, especially with a controller. She didn't get to play video games growing up. We managed to beat the game despite her constant struggling, and she thoroughly enjoyed the game and would play it again. She came out of the game with improvement on her overall hand-eye coordination and reaction time, evident in other games in which she struggled more in before. I absolutely had no issues with controls, nor did I find the game really challenging. I was able to solve most puzzles and challenges before my significant other even got time to think about them. I don't know if the person who left a poor review because of difficulty is a child, or simply struggles with video games, because as mentioned, my SO is like a child in video games; she made it to the end with me. Maybe they played alone, but the game is meant to be played with another person to get the most enjoyment. I had to leave this review, because negative review I saw does not do the game justice, and lack of skills in gaming is the players fault, not the game, as the game really isn't that difficult. Unjust, non-constructive reviews taint products with unwarranted reputations, and this is a great game to buy and play with someone. It has a good message to it too. I think the negative reviewer took it personal, as maybe they divorced and thought the game was attacking them, which eas not the intention of the game

Great game to play with significant other!

Such a fun game! If you have a significant other, this is a GREAT game to play with them! The premise of the game may throw you off. (Its about two parents who are getting a divorce)But the pair are put into situations where they NEED to work together and solve challenges together. The levels/ detail to each portion are beautifully made. And the puzzling "more challenging parts" are easy enough that if you can't figure it out, theres a really good chance your player 2 will! Great way to practice teamwork with whoever you may play with! TIme tends to go by quicker as you immerse yourself in this vibrant fantasy world. Definitely a must play!

Its alright.

I saw that this game was great for the spouse, and that it was easy for people who don't play video games. I grew up with video games, so for me the difficulty isnt that hard. However, my spouse didn't grow up with games, and the only thing she's played are minecraft and mario party. Needless to say, this game actually get difficult within the first boss fight, and it's a lot more stressful than what either of us were expecting. I want to keep playing, but unfortunately the game was a lot more involved than expected, and we have yet to finish it. The story is also a lot more sad than expected as well. I'm not saying the game is bad, and the controls are mostly responsive (though there are parts that even i questioned) this just isnt the 4.9 rated game that everyone ... MoreI saw that this game was great for the spouse, and that it was easy for people who don't play video games.

I'm hoping that unravel 2 (seems similar) is more of what she is able to handle. Personally, id much rather play a lego game from the 6th gen console era. Those have better difficulty progression, and i honestly find them more fun. I was expecting the game play on this to drastically change, and it is mostly the same, which i cant say is that interesting compared to other games.

One of the best co-op games I've ever played

Like the title says, this is one of the best co-op games I've ever played. I've beaten this with a friend on PlayStation 4 when it first released, then last year played it again on PlayStation 5, now I'm doing it again, this time on Switch. It doesn't matter what platform you play it on, this game is fun and I don't ever seem to get tired of it.The game can be played locally or online, and when you're playing it online your friend doesn't even need to buy it themself, they can just download the friend's pass for free and play through the full game with you. I wish more games supported that, but in the meantime I will keep supporting this developer for having the guts to do that.

Perfect little game

This game was so fun, it was the perfect little gem in what is a dearth of local co-op games being available for the PS4 generation. It has so much bantering and joking. I was worried hearing about the initial plot being a spoiler, but it happens within the first five minutes of the game (the two parents are getting a divorce). The gameplay is great with different levels/worlds offering something new. Some of them felt a bit smaller compared to other levels, especially toward the end, but every part of the journey was magnificent.I'd also like to add that this game was also fun for my SO who is normally is bad at games. She did okay-ish in Little Big Planet and didn't like Borderlands nor racing games. This one we found as a good one.The game isn't too long, but ... MoreThis game was so fun, it was the perfect little gem in what is a dearth of local co-op games being available for the PS4 generation.

And if you're in a LDR or just want to play it with someone else online, this is great because only one person needs to own a copy. Your friend can join your online session without needing to buy a copy. This game is seriously fantastic!

Thank you to the creators of this awesome game

Currently watching my brother and his girlfriend play this Christmas gift I got, and we are all very grateful for the diverse creativity the artists who created this game have. It is so fun, clever, and so far no two experiences in the game are the same and it keeps us engaged. The animation style and score are also worth admiring as they add cute character and beauty to the game. The storyline so far is perfect for the overall theme, and it’s cool seeing how it’s bringing out the practice of collaboration between the players too. Still waiting to see how the story turns out and further character development since we’re still mid-game, but wanted to be sure to applaud the game thus far for others to enjoy without hesitation if you’re wondering whether or not to get ... MoreCurrently watching my brother and his girlfriend play this Christmas gift I got, and we are all very grateful for the diverse creativity the artists who created this game have.

Trash.

Worst game I have ever played. The movements are difficult to pick up and not at all intuitive. The concept is great but the execution is trash. The game becomes almost impossibly difficult very early on. If you want to experience ridiculous frustration over a stupid game, this is the one to get. Also, there was no warning or indication that this game is about divorce. You’re playing a couple that is clearly unhappy who have decided to divorce, and the goal is to learn to work together, so that you can learn how to be a better couple and not get divorced. It demonizes divorce and lays a heavy guilt trip on divorced parents in particular. This game is trash and I wish I could get a refund.
