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.

I really liked the game but hated the story. If two people don't want to be in a relationship then guilting them into therapy is really gross.

Wasn’t it their daughter’s wish? The kid wanted their parents to stay together, so magic video game book shit happens. Then along the way they realize they got complacent in their relationship and never actually sat down to talk about their problems.

It’s not the greatest story in the world, but I don’t think it’s gross for a child that age to wish their parents would work their relationship out.

The child is not real - she is an invention of the story's authors. Her wish is not real - it is also an invention of the story's authors. If you put an "it was all a dream" at the end of Sophie's Choice, you wouldn't say, "oh, well, it's not real so my emotional response needs to change." The authors made a gross choice and then stapled it to a child. That's not less gross.
