It Takes Two Standard Edition

It Takes Two is a co-op game with no single-player mode at all. Cody and May are getting divorced, their daughter Rose cries over a pair of handmade dolls, and the parents wake up inside them with a talking self-help book named Dr. Hakim insisting they work on the relationship. Hazelight rebuilds the mechanics every chapter. One level gives one player a nail gun and the other a hammer; the next hands out time control and cloning; the one after that is a flight sim, then a side-scrolling brawler, then something else entirely. Nothing is reused, and every ability only works with the other player's. It runs in split-screen locally or online, and both halves are always visible, which is how the puzzles are meant to be read. The Friend's Pass means only one of you has to own the game — the second player downloads a free companion app. It won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021. This is the only edition. One copy covers both players through the Friend's Pass, so your co-op partner does not need to buy it. Note there is no single-player mode — two players are required. Keys activate on Steam, the EA App, Xbox or Nintendo Switch.
