It Takes Two Baby! Is this the perfect couples game?

Described by game director Josef Fares (A Way Out, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons) as a "romantic comedy" It Takes Two is the second game developed by Fares' Hazelight Studios in Sweden, and, like its predecessor A Way Out, it will also only be playable as a two-player cooperative game, in either local or online split-screen.

Sadly, gaming is not something the otherwise wonderful Mrs Redd has any interest in. Candy Crush on her phone is her at peak gaming level. Luckily, Kid Redd is more into a bit of gaming, and she and @Pamar are going to give it a try :grinning:

I think the biggest factor at play here and what I’ve heard is the major tipping point is the subject matter that it portrays. I wonder if the plot/story was of a different nature if it would score even higher. Sounds as though the biggest and most enjoyable factor is coming from the gameplay.

I must see if the missus will be keen to play it with me. She’s not a gamer but in the early days of our marriage before the kids came along we played and finished Super Mario Brothers Wii together!
