Unpopular opinion: It Takes Two was overrated.
The gameplay had its moments, but the storyline and characters were just terrible.
I love a good couch co-op, but playing it felt like being forced into role-playing a shitty stereotype of some bickering narcissist parents.
My wife and I couldn’t finish it.
Hey honey, did you wanna play the lazy ass disengaged deadweight tonight? or would you rather play as the workaholic narcissist?
I think we were just about to try and destroy some toy our daughter loves, so she’d cry for our benefit.
I think that’s what the annoying talking sociopath book suggested and that’s like a metaphor for crushing her feelings, or something.
One thousand percent. The different mechanics and environments and stuff were varied and often interesting (if simple), the production quality was obviously quite high…
But man, the story and characters were distractingly bad. The dialogue was super generic shitty 90s sitcom cringe, and nobody was actually likeable. Then the payoff at the end was like… what? My SO and I were like “Wait so that was the end?” Did they just like… run out of budget like the end of Monty Python’s Holy Grail, so it needed to end abruptly?
I think the only way I’d ever give it another shot is if there was a mod that deleted most dialogue and story and just skipped from minigame to minigame without context.
Maybe.
I vaguely remember genociding squirrels with a flame thrower…

We finished it, but yikes. Overrated is right.
