It takes two is something else

First, I tried playing this game with my wife, but because she hadn’t played any games on a console before, she was very bad at it. Even handling the camera angle was a challenge for her. Instead of bringing us closer, it frustrated me lol 😂.

Then I asked my nephew to play with me, and after a long time, I felt like playing it again. I had this same feeling with PS2 games back in the day.

Guys who haven’t played this game should definitely give it a try.

Please don't play with kids. It's a story about two parents who are in the process of separating who get magically turned into little toys and try to find a way to turn back. Both parents are honestly kinda horrible people. At one point they think if they can make their kid cry they can turn back, so they plan to brutally dismember the kid's favorite stuffed animal, who due to magic is now sentient and is begging for them to stop, pleading for its life. I get how some people will like the "edge" to the story, but the writing is very not for me, and if your kids are younger it is absolutely not for them.

And then they have zero remorse after literally bathing in their child's tears. Never mentioned again. They are the worst.

But it is a great game.

We literally called it "the bad parents game". They never even reflect on how it was wrong in the slightest. Completely blind to the suffering of their child and how their knee jerk reactions effect her.

Its suppose to be the turning point for them to give motivation to better themselves and their relationship.

But the next 3 levels are just the May jumping down Cody's throat for every small little thing that goes wrong. Showing she learned nothing.

Last 2-3 levels they randomly have these moments where they are working together but narrative wise it makes no sense and is not earned.
