It Takes Two

INDIE 44.12 GB v1.0.0.4

Game Overview

A collapsing marriage becomes the unlikely engine for one of the most inventive co-op platformers on PC. Cody and May are transformed into tiny dolls and dropped into a wildly exaggerated household fantasy, where a garden shed, child’s bedroom, or snow globe becomes a sprawling adventure zone. The tone swings effortlessly between slapstick absurdity and genuine emotion, using the pair’s strained relationship as more than background drama. Every chapter finds a new way to turn their problems into physical, playable obstacles.

Two players control Cody and May either online or on the same screen, and success depends on constant communication rather than individual skill alone. Each area grants the pair complementary tools—one may manipulate time while the other creates pathways, or one shoots projectiles while the other controls their direction—so neither character feels like a sidekick. Platforming, light combat, chase sequences, minigames, puzzles, and sudden genre shifts arrive at a relentless pace, often introducing a clever mechanic only to replace it before it grows stale. Checkpoints are generous, but later sequences ask for timing and coordination, making it accessible for casual partners while still rewarding experienced players who learn to work in sync.

Hazelight’s greatest strength is its refusal to settle into a predictable loop: one moment you are battling a possessed appliance, and the next you are skating through a miniature winter world or competing in a ridiculous side activity. The richly animated environments make everyday objects feel monumental, while the story gives the spectacle an emotional center without becoming overly sentimental. It is built exclusively for two people, with local split-screen and online play supported, so solo players should look elsewhere. Fans of A Way Out, Super Mario 3D World, or inventive co-op puzzlers will find an unusually polished adventure here, and it remains an excellent choice for friends or couples seeking a shared campaign with real personality.
