"It Takes Two is a spectacular co-op adventure that lays down a path of great gameplay ideas and uses it to play a giddy game of hopscotch. It's beautiful, breakneck-paced, and bubbling over with creativity, and playfulness and experimentation are rewarded at every turn. If you have any kind of co-op partner in your life, be they spouse, friend, sibling, or other (even a child, though the themes might be too mature for them), It Takes Two is a truly joyful trip you really need to take together." - Ігри
Im genuinely happy developers are still making great games like this
From the creators of 'A Way Out', which is another splendid experience.
nice to see my man is still f**king the oscar
@@jacejohnson7113 ofc
Even more evidence that single player and couch co-op are far from dead.
They made split screen co-op great again.
Hopefully this pushes the game industry to make more co-op games
They won’t. Most of the gaming industry only cares about our pockets.
@@kanyeeast1340 Sadly
They’d rather feed us cutscene heavy “blockbusters” smmfh 😪
You have the right profile for this comment. You know they want because they don’t want ppl together
AMEN!!!
This is a rare game where every single second is fun and fresh, not a single part of it feels like filler. It's an experience.
100% Agree. This game *needs* to do well.
It’s 10/10.
Game of the year baby
@@natew6319 Totally deserved
NFS：I'm not happy.😌☹️😒
This game honestly feels genius
FARES IS GENIUS
It is genius
Yeah. Played all 3 of his games 😂

And now a winner of The Game of the Year Award!
10 Hrs of gameplay aye. I'll be able to stretch that out 30 hrs with the way my GF plays...
Bro tell me about it ... little nightmare just took her 4 hours to clear school
This lol
How bad is she? Thinking about getting it for my GF and me. My GF can't bet the first level of crash bandicoot.
@@brandonhughes645 its very hard bro, unless you want to carry her don't get this lmao
@@casualtake1497 thanks haha
This game makes you FEEL like you're going to be divorced.
You reading my mind? :D
HAHAHAHAHA
Lol
Almost as appealing as feeling like batman
Or *fix your marriage
Imagine marriage counselors recommending this game to help with marriage problems😂😂😂😂
I'd love to play this with my girl but she hates video games xD
You'd probably be surprised at how many marriages exist where they don't have fun together
It'll probably fix mine lol
could work lmao
@@Andi91 you should get another girl
Just finished the first four hours and that was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long long time. Highly recommended.
After 30 + years of gaming, this is one of the most fresh and entertaining co-op games I’ve ever played. Easily the best of 2021
You just established that you're an expert given the 30 yr experience, therefore your opinion not only matters, but it's fact. This is due to how our society views experts.
@@SaulmanPhishbassyou do know it won 3 awards including game of the year, right? Lol
@@wolftastik4095 You just established that merit is validated based on those that receive material awards, therefore the trophy not only matters, but it validates the fact. This is due to how our society views awards.
@@SaulmanPhishbassBro stop trying to be all philosophical it’s just somebodies opinion, and saying something about “society” doesn’t make you look smart.
My man Josef deserves all the love.
Yea give me 10 hours of goodness instead of 20 hours or mediocrity
im in for quality gameplay but the price must be justified, 10 hours for a $60-$70 then no it's not worth it.
@@kaiserxblue It's $40 though, not 70
@@RomainDelmaire 40 bucks to a 10 hour game experience?....still high, ill probably get it after a proper discount.
@@kaiserxblue your a weirdo 10 hours is a long as game and it's seem quality. But whatever suites your fancy sir.
@@kaiserxblue Whats the point of have more hours of gameplay for no reasons? A short but compelling game can have much replayability than a mediocre 40 hours game which probably never touch It again.
If you have this game and you have a girl and she refuses to play this with you, she ain't the one
Girl? Imma play it with my boys.
My girl said she needs a break from gaming because we just played Sackboy and finished Sackboy together
100%
@@darkindragon loooool you kill me. It’s like you had an answer already prepared lol
@@MikeCheckVR she needs a break after 1 game
Another Joseph Faris masterpiece
The guy at first glance just looks like a crazy drunk, but in fact knows how to create games.
*Josef Fares*
@@akilarodrigues7065 so a talented crazy drunk man then
@@oat4692 lmao this right here, anyone reading his watch an interview with this developer. There are some he’s fairly chill, and some where he is fairly not chill
His best work yet!!!

No he isn't killing anybody! He's a peaceful man!
@@dominant2576 tell that to my wallet cause im gonna buy this game
Man from A Way Out to this is so different a major upgrade bravo to him
Playing this with pam right now and we are loving it
Cool, whats your favorite part?
@@chris24productions the most fav part was when they ended the game. They had fun in bed afterwards. Happy ending!
Who is Pam?

This game is literally a masterpiece.
Metroid Dread is the true masterpiece of 2021.
@@DanielMazahreh not today chief
@@DanielMazahreh this aged like milk
@@ghostpotato6260 The Game Awards is NOT the authority. Metroid Dread is still the best game of 2021.
@@DanielMazahreh Metroid Dread is not even a local co-op game. This is a platformer style game. You really can’t compare games in diff genres.
This better win some awards .
Yeah, like Oscar
@@simonasobcarskas3323 can’t win an Oscar hate to break it to ya
It will, sony give lots of money to the award shows.
Nah.. it will get ignored for another remake. Possibly FFVIIR part 2.
@@chakkra69 Part 2 wont be released this year so they have a chance lol
Idk man, looks like it should have gotten a 10 if it delivers the same level of creativity and fun that Mario odyssey can deliver. Sure you can talk about story but Mario stories aren’t anything special either and that still gets a 10.
This
Ooooooo🔥Burn
Mario Odyssey could have been so much more.
Nintendo Bonus is real lmao.
Nintendo points
Only game my wife has ever asked me to play with her, instead of me asking her. Funnest coop game I’ve ever played!
Thinking of getting this game to play with my girlfriend. Glad to hear it’s fun :)
It takes two has just won game of the year award it's an absolute masterpiece 💯
same!
Metroid Dread was robbed
This game deserves it yo
Take that Take Two Interactive!
Yeah although I'm fine with this game winning but Metroid Dread should won
The comments really make you FEEL like this joke is getting old.
But it just feels wrong if somebody doesn’t say it, at this point it’s obligatory
Don't let the flame die out!
@@miguelhernandezhernandez3175 😂😂😂 plankton
UA-cam comments are the most unoriginal and generic sht
This comment makes it feel like a dad joke!
First GOTY contender for 2021,here we go.. 🔥
That would be hitman 3
not even close
Cyberpunk samurais xD
@@Hassan06675 Hitman 3 is nothing innovative. It's a Hitman 2.1
Valhiem : am i a joke to you?
So if you’ve been liking Hakim in all the trailers, it’s a perfect 10?
The review didn’t mention this but I’m pretty sure you can share the game and play with a friend without them having to buy it. Similar to what they did with one of their other games.
A Way Out
Yes, you can also get the first chapter for free for both players before you decide if you wanna buy it or not.
@@Carlit0Tit0 Wow, imagine that practice taking off. That’d be sweet
“If you have someone in your life...” why did you put it like that dude🥲
This game is a 11 out of 10 for me, so amazing
This looks amazing, haven't felt this level of joy since Little Big Planet 2.
LBP 2 is one of my favourite games ever.
Play sackboy.
YES! SACKBOY FOR LIFE
From emotional brotherhood, harrowing crime drama to a sad yet heartwarming story, hazelight still continues to impress me
Man I'm so happy that they finally managed to create a banging game. A Way Out was decent but felt too serious and tried hard to be a crime movie. Great to see what Josef Fares and his team are capable of when they let their creativity flow.
What about Brothers? I’m surprised no one asked you in 2 years.
Started this game recently and am very impressed it’s so fun, looks great, and hasn’t lagged so far in pacing.
For some reason, this feels like Girlfriend Reviews: The Game. Which is, admittedly, an awesome thing.
😂😂true
Glad to see this got game of the year. Absolutely beautiful game to play with your girlfriend or Wife. We really enjoyed playing it together!
Even when the girlfriend has never played videogames?
@@w3ghe711 It takes two is a great starting point!
So did you play it with your wife and your girlfriend separately?
Never let them meet
Unless she’s sensitive lol a certain elephant had my girlfriend crying for about 20 minutes lmao
this is the best game ive played in years. fun from start to end. amazing story. seriously all games should be this fun
Playing it with my friend right now and we're having a blast! We burst out laughing more than once during our first 2 hours of playtime - can't remember the last time that happened to me in a videogame. It's honestly brilliant and my GOTY for me so far (and I'm playing MH Rise right now as well and loving that one). It Takes Two is one of THE biggest surprises for me this year. A real breathe of fresh air.
Only will play it if it takes 5. I want to play with my 4 wives.
Fix the door u ......
You can play with your wives, when you fix this DAMN DOOR!
🚪
Rent?
can we share?
This moment u have no friends to play this game :/
Yup same😢
Is it split screen?
Can play online coop same as A Way Out EA game 🙂
Can always play online with someone, best part is, they don’t have to purchase it.
@@DanielRodriguez-ne7sx how does that work?
EA: Did we forget to monetize this one?
C'mon this should be encouraged
No because EA recently only been monetizing there sports games.
@@yamakingz2 Battlefront has entered the chat
This should be 10/10. This game is masterpiece.
Agreeee
I'm really glad you guys showed as many of the gimmicks as possible so that nobody would be surprised by any of them, great idea!
there's way more gimmick than shown
Lol no kidding. Looked decent but now I've seen enough.
@@lewislovelord8977 nah there's way more than what's shown here u should definitely give it a try
Playing this with my 6 year old...the co op and puzzle solving elements remind me of the days of playing games like goof troop on the snes. Absolute gem of a game
After just playing A Way Out with my girlfriend few weeks ago, looking forward to play this masterpiece as well, looks awesome 👍🏻
So you play with 2 hands and 2 controllers?
@@Timo8.2. lame joke
@@Timo8.2. Why you so jealous?
@@Maggpiee it wasn’t a joke
@@Timo8.2. lame question
The amount of creativity in this game is outstanding. In fact, the most creative game I've ever played!
So happy to see co-op games like this made again it’s beautiful
Was that the pot room from ocarina of time at the end?
Yes it is hahaha recognized it immediately
Yeaa play this with your partner they said, it will be fun they said. My hair is completely grey now and ive smoked 4000 cigarettes
Just finished it with a friend. This game was awesome and there's so much variety in it.
Can't wait to play this game. It looks fun!
Man this looks so much fun, i'll definitely get it!
'Take Two' should've developed this (-;
It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played
Fun fact: It takes two to play this game
Hence the name
Co-op games are taking off right now
Nice review going to have to get this one.
6:12 ok seeing the pot room in Hyrule market has me sold
Firs ttime playing co-op with my GF and having fun the entire way through. This game deserves awards for sure. It is amazingly beautiful, creative, diverse, no fillers, and most importantly, the tons of mechanism they cram in this game all feel fleshed out and responsive. This makes it a must play in my eyes
Anyone else who straight-up went here after the Game Awards?
Game of the year - best platformer: it takes two
So excited to play this, probably my favourite studio and director doing games right now, gotta make time with an old friend who likes games or somehow convince my non gaming girlfriend to play with me haha.
This looks amazing.. if you have someone to play with.
Who's here after it won Game of the Year at the Game Awards?
The guy that created this is saving the world by bringing people together recognizing all our needs, we need an mmo like this.
Its 2p co op not mmo
Played for 90 mins so far and feckin love it, design excellent, level intricacy is on point and the graphics are lovely too. Defo pick up if u have a coop partner
Wow, this is one of the best reviews IGN has published in a while. Definitely looking forward to picking this one up
This man is single handedly bringing the fun of co op back especially in an era of many online multiplayers much respect and the game looks amazing
An EA game without micro transactions?!
Impossible
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
The moment to moment gameplay and voice acting in this game are next level. 5/7 best co-op game 2021
Joseph Fares deserves atleast 2 or 3 game awards wins this year
and they're being sued by take two because of the game's name lol
But hurt jealous take 2
Modern Vintage Gamer is that you? Haha been watching lots of your emulation videos!
This game is stunning tbh: and a great family oriented game. Definitely a must buy for your children. Instead of shoot’em up games. Nothing against them. But this is so much more innocent
Bro as a society we should have a LOT against shoot em ups being played by our children. Desensitized to violence at a young age is sad
If you think this game is innocent then you obviously haven't played it.
@@shanzo85 Why isnt it?
@@hydeymiguel2675 spoiler
At one point you are literally tearing apart an innocent toy while it is begging for mercy and a little bit later these parents are dancing in the tears of their daughter. Look up 'it takes two elephant' if you want to see for yourself.
@@hydeymiguel2675 they also swear a couple times 🤣 but with all the childish scenarios, (which are still awesome) the game’s story conflicts and mechanics might not be as understandable for a kid
Videogamedunkey is gonna love this game....I am calling it now
@@Someone-wn9hx 5/5
Who would he play it with though
@@aneanderthalscout37 with his wife....duhhh😑
Josef Fares does it again :')
F the Oscars!
Why?
@@danreyes736 reference
Anybody here after the game awards ?
Hands down, my favorite game of the year. This was a journey.
The visuals are fantastic!
Do you need play station plus to play on two controllers but same console?
Thanks for this great review. The game looks great and I'd love to play with my wife but she is utterly un-coordinated when it comes to operating a console controller.
One of these gems the gaming community desperately needed.
I'm a sucker for any game with this art style. I'm a go get me a girlfriend to play this with, lol.
Seemingly simple ascents up the side of a cliff face. *Chef's kiss
Look forward to trying this out Brothers is probably one of my top games of all time!
Dr. Hakim was one of the best things in the game, found him hilarious
Kudos to game makers for getting
GAME OF THE YEAR AWARD😇🎺💙💜⚠️👑
The end of the part with the elephant... fking savage
6:11 unexpected appearance by the room full of jars next to the drawbridge in Hyrule Castle Town.
The review gets kind of spoilery towards the end, so that's unfortunate. But I'm glad that IGN enjoyed it so much. We'll definitely be checking it out on our channel, we'll have to see how well a married couple of almost 14 years does :D
It actually boosts my relationship with my wife.
I'm still playing this but it is by far one of the best games I've ever played. Love it so much
Just give it a 10. one point off because a book was annoying really. They made him like that by design and it's part of the story.
The OoT pot room ... YES 😂😂😂👏👌💯
Can't recommend this game enough! Humble , funny , clever and very creative. Enjoyed every minute 🥇🥇
What a Magical game,with great level design and so many beautiful ideas.
Big up for Hazelight and Josef Fares
Game of the Year!!! Not repetitive. Or boring vast landscapes taht takes hours to explore. Different and lots game mechanics. Can be enjoyed by any ages. Gamers or not. Really awesome and unique coop game.
This is so interesting!
Can we nominate this game for the Oscars?
F the Oscars!
In my opinion, this is genuinely one of the greatest Co-Op game ever made. As in, the greatest game of "Co-Op" as a genre wherein you must have 2 players as a minimum or not have any game to play at all.
We haven't yet finished the game but we absolutely LOVE IT! Logic game and suddenly action game! Brilliant
