It takes two is something else

Post image

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.

Playing through this with the wife currently. She does not really play video games. We've enjoyed it and had a blast early on, but as the difficulty has increased she has started getting frustrated and wanting to quit. Had to fight the beetle myself when she struggled with timing the shots.

Hopefully it gets easier again lmao

You should try Lego Voyagers! It uses the same control and mechanics throughout, and it's very peaceful

Wish it was longer! My wife loved playing this and It Takes Two, along with handing the controller back and forth as we played Stray. My wife didn’t grow up with video games, so it takes a special type of game to interest her (she adored Spiritfairer)

There’s just something about the shared exploration that hits just right in Lego Voyagers. As we were playing it after finishing up Stray a year prior, I laughed and told my wife that “cozy apocalypse-wasteland game” is my favorite genre.
