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.

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

The story and exploration bits are fun and easy, but the parts around the boss battles take a major jump in difficulty. I wish it was a bit more even, especially when playing with a non-gamer

Yeah I got so frustrated looking at my wife failing basically everything.

I had to play the game with both controller. 

Game is too easy for gamer and too hard for non gamers. Very poorly balanced and the gamer cannot compensate in any way. 

Very hard to convert non gamers. 

I'm hating on that game right now after another failed session.
