I’ve just spent the whole weekend playing It Takes Two on Xbox with my 9 year old autistic son, and it’s the most amazing game I’ve played in ages. The story is so sweet, and I’ve really enjoyed letting my son work out the puzzles, and seeing how excited he gets when he gets it right.

Honestly, I think this is a game every parent should play with their child. It’s been a real breath of fresh air.

Is this the game where they brutally kill an elephant who is begging them to stop, by basically tearing her limb from limb and throwing her to her death?

In their defense, they are awful parents who take advice from overtly manipulative talking books. They're just trying to emotionally scar her for their own benefit is all, cut them some slack.

And by slack, I mean elephant.

When me and my 8 year old got to this part he was genuinely upset, I actually wish there was an option to remove that part from the game.

This is the first game my daughters (10 yo & 7 yo) have completed together on Xbox. I’m such a fan. They did a great job on this game.

Played it with my sister, she got her friend to play it with her, neither of them are gamers. Gonna drag my GF in to play it too.

My partner and I played it over a few sessions and absolutely loved it. I highly recommend using controllers.
Unlike a lot of games with a bunch of mini-games in them, I feel like this It Takes Two uses interesting mini-games that stop being used before you get sick of them, which was made them all the more enjoyable.

I enjoyed it but that game went on twice as long as it should have
