A single player cannot complete the game, as each section is designed around both characters contributing simultaneously.
The game supports “Friend’s Pass,” allowing one player to invite another online even if they do not own a copy.
Cody and May are a married couple on the verge of divorce, whose daughter Rose wishes to keep them together.
After making dolls of her parents out of wood and clay, Rose’s tears magically transform them into the toys.
The couple awakens in miniature form inside their own home, guided by the eccentric talking Book of Love, authored by Dr.
To return to their human bodies, Cody and May must work together, overcoming surreal environments that reflect the challenges in their relationship.
The story is told through stages that metaphorically explore themes of family, trust, and reconciliation.
Gameplay blends multiple genres across its levels.
Platforming is the core mechanic, with characters running, jumping, and dashing across elaborate environments.
Each level introduces new mechanics, such as rail grinding, shooting sections, puzzle-solving, or environmental manipulation.
Boss fights punctuate chapters, requiring both players to use their current abilities in tandem.
Minigames are scattered throughout, offering competitive diversions ranging from simple races to rhythm challenges.
The dynamic split-screen presentation shifts fluidly to emphasize critical actions, and it remains present even during online co-op.
Throughout the campaign, Cody and May gain unique abilities that vary with each chapter, ensuring asymmetrical cooperation - such as one character manipulating time while the other creates clones, or one controlling magnets of opposing polarities.
Progression is chapter-based rather than open-ended.
Players advance linearly through themed areas representing elements of Cody and May’s li
About PlayStation 5
Launched in late 2020, the PlayStation 5 introduced ultra-fast SSD loading and ray tracing to mainstream console gaming. It's still early in its collecting life cycle, but the Digital Edition (no disc drive) has already created a meaningful split in the market between disc-based and digital-only PS5 owners — something collectors should keep in mind when comparing prices for the "same" game.
Gamevaro tracks It Takes Two for PlayStation 5 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding It Takes Two to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS5 release dates back to 2021.
