It Takes Two
Be warned, a central premise of this game is divorce. And, I’ll be honest, it doesn’t handle the subject with the nuance it deserves. You’re also accompanied by an incredibly annoying caricature of a book that may drive you insane.
However! The co-op mechanics are delightful. They feel fresh and unique, and the worlds you’ll visit in this game feel magical. The gameplay more than makes up for the missteps in a certain NPC or a theme that feels more wishful thinking than rooted in honesty.
There are also fun Easter eggs for anyone familiar with Hazelight Studios, creators of A Way Out and plenty of unrelated fun details to explore even if that doesn’t specifically excite you. Available on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC, you can play split-screen, online, or wireless local (think both of you with your own Switch consoles playing side-by-side on the couch).
