No OT for dis I guess, but I finished this a while back with a friend. In all departments aside from audio the game is improved over It Takes Two especially the sci-fi levels which were fucking amazing. We laughed a lot at some of the fantasy stuff, decent story, albeit generic, bad white CEO guy rollseyes, but still decent. The final level when things go crazy was absolutely amazing. I wish the soundtrack had a bigger emphasis, but it seems it took a massive nosedive from the creativity It Takes Two brought especially with the last level which was an audio/visual masterpiece. Overall 8.3/10.

It's very on the nose but it is shit that's happening now, techbro CEOs wanting to train AI to replace creatives, if you're sad about it being a white guy then that's just the scene with the ones who are most prominent in pushing this tech. But overall it felt the message was pretty self aware and played it for laughs.

Playing along with my brothers, game is great. Some areas seem like filler but wow, great ideas in this one. Imagine a Mario and Luigi or Peach and Yoshi game with some of the concepts. Excellent game, Switch 2 version should be a Day 1

Asking for my wife: "Does it have friendly fire, like It Takes Two?"

Yes but you can turn it off in the options

Yeah I had no issue with it, I just wished for a better written villain, we seem to lack these in recent times. Handsome Jack, The Joker and a few others were at their peak and haven't been surpassed to this day. The nazi dude from Indiana Jones was great as well though his presence was too little.

after many years of waiting for this me and a friend finally nabbed it since it's always on sale...

Woof... this game is not even 80s let alone 90s

this game is huge step back from It Takes Two, the writing is atrocious, gameplay is shallow, platforming is weak with a lot of magnetism, it feels the entire game was dumbed down for the "modern gamer".

I was shocked to see it had such high reviews. I've not played something as disappointing as this in a long time, it yanks control away from you at every second, the "gimmicks" aren't very fun or interesting, the skill and challenge level for gimmicks basically doesn't exist.

I feel bad for those who enjoyed it takes two and got this day one... what a huge disappointment.

Played this game on 2-3 occasions with my partner. This game is hot garbage. 6.5/10 at best. Agreed with basically every word of the last poster.

Unlikeable characters, poor gameplay loop, annoying magnetism at every moment. The best aspects of the game are the 'silly' levels, like being a cow or becoming a sausage etc. (Vegans look away now). but the 'serious' levels have terrible level design amongst a ton of other problems.

The CEO/Director of this studio is a hype merchant. Good for marketing, but boy.. this is the most overrated game I've played in years.
