It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios is a game Hidetaka Mizaki, the creator of Souls, enjoyed a lot. It’s a great compliment especially for someone who has worked on some of our most iconic games.
Interview with Miyazaki over at the PlayStation Blog. He said that although he doesn’t have much time to play videogames, he does try to make time when he can. He loved It Takes Two and played it from start to finish over three days with an online friend.
When asked about what made It Takes Two so memorable to him, Miyazaki explained, “It didn’t let up throughout, and it never let me get bored. There are many stages with different art and gameplay. Each stage encourages cooperation, yet retains an artistic element. It’s continually fun to play and felt extremely fresh to me right up until the end, which was impressive to me as a fellow creator.”
He continued, “Honestly, I didn’t have that much interest in it at first. Then, I decided to give it a try with a friend. The story was even more interesting when I had a child of my own.
He isn’t the only Japanese game designer to talk about It Takes Two. Masahiro Saurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., hinted that he may have played it solo with two controllers. It Takes Two was also named by Evan Wells, co-president of Naughty dog, and Rochelle Snyder (Naughty Dog senior communications manager), as one of their top 2021 games.
It takes Two is the new game from Josef Fares (outspoken videogame director) and Hazelight Studios. It Takes Two, like Fares’ other games, is designed to be played cooperatively. Two players will take control of Cody (a married couple at the edge of divorce) and May (a single player). The players and their relationship will be tested by their adventures together through incredible challenges.
It Takes Two won The Game Awards 2021’s coveted title as game of the year. It is also listed in IGN’s top games of 2021.
