It Takes Two is a really odd experience. Production-wise, except for a shaky start, it's mostly great. There are many types of games and game mechanics represented, which allows the game to serve as an intro to gaming as a whole to the uninitiated.

What makes it hard to speak too positively of is the story that is central to the game. I think young people who haven't been in a serious adult relationship yet may find the story good or even just ok, but to a married adult man such as myself it's nonsense. The way the characters, who are already in the process of a divorce, speak to each other doesn't make any sense. They alternate wildly between encouragement, compliments, insults, frustration , and flirtation. The reasons they have for divorcing are all based on things which would have come up long, long before the process of divorce started. The climax therefore felt entirely unearned, and just uncomfortable.

It's a great game to play with a friend or partner, it's just not a well written one.
