Sure thing, let’s dive right in. So, I was scrolling through Steam the other day — you know, that magical labyrinth of online deals — and something caught my eye that I just had to share. It’s this game, “It Takes Two,” which, by some stroke of luck or maybe a marketing masterstroke, is now a whopping 70% off. But, heads up, this deal vanishes on August 11. I mean, procrastinators beware, right?
Now, Hazelight Studio, the wizard behind the curtain, really burst onto the scene with this one. That game scooped up the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2021, which isn’t exactly a small feat. If you’re one of those folks who hasn’t tried it yet—I get it, life’s busy—you might want to jump on it fast before someone realizes they’ve priced it like a clearance item at a yard sale.
Oh, here’s a cool tidbit I stumbled upon—did you know the game uses real-world communication skills as a gameplay element? Like, split-screen co-op where you’re May and Cody, a couple navigating their messy divorce while being, well, shrunk down to doll-size. Not quite your typical date night scenario. But instead of hashing things out over coffee, they journey through a series of elaborate levels in their house and their minds. It’s probably the only game where marital problems involve sap-launching guns and gravity-defying boots. Again, don’t ask me how that works—some things are just better experienced, you know?
And those reductions—11.99 bucks instead of the usual 39.99! Feels like they’re almost giving it away. The game’s packed with these quirky characters—I mean, talking books and vacuum cleaners? Have I mentioned the comedic sidekicks that pop up? They add this dash of humor that, honestly, feels like a comforting side dish to the main course of emotional rollercoaster.
For those who live for co-op adventures, or maybe just enjoy the occasional emotional detour in their gaming life, this might be your next fave. Oh, and before I totally wander off track here, stay tuned. More discounts might just be around the corner on Steam—or maybe I’ve got that wrong. With gaming, who can ever really tell?
Anyway, if you’ve got a free evening or ten, maybe skip the Netflix binge and give this a whirl. You might find that a game about reuniting two dolls has more to teach you about communication than you’d expect.
