It takes two is a fantastic experience to have with a loved one, even if inexperienced with games, it is very forgiving
The gameplay of 'It takes two' is very fun, but the characters and the story can be infuriating. If they annoy you in the trailers or in a gameplay video, be aware that their dynamic stays like that a long time - we gave up on it after a while because of it
Exactly this. It's a terrible, outdated story that essentially sells "staying together for the kids." The whole way through we were both like "ye these two need to get divorced." The book is a villain.
Eta: game play was fun though
Yep, my girlfriend and I thought the same.
"Oh, I know how to solve our problem! We make our daughter cry!"
"But how?"
"Let's brutally murder her toy elephant!"
A+ parenting right there
Oh, I assumed it was kid friendly. My soon to be 7 year old is just started Minecraft. He struggles with games so far as too complex for him, like lego Harry Potter or even hot wheels (all the ps+ kids games). I was hoping to try it takes two with him at some point. If the story is not nice, maybe that's not a great idea. Playing Rayman together was fun and forgiving as he just keeps reappearing when he dies.
It is mostly kid friendly.
Just the scene with the elephant is thrown in as a bit of a joke. But can be quite brutal if the child is too young to understand. But it is just about ripping up a toy. So not really all that brutal.
The rest of the game is completely fine though, would recommend.
It's about ripping up a living, crying toy while it begs for its life, after chasing it through the area. It made me squirm and I'm a grown-ass adult.
