What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. Its cuts run 65 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $11.99 at 70 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Split Fiction ($32.49, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats A Way Out ($8.99, scores 65).
2 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 6,447 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
It came out 5 years ago and 5.0K were still playing it at the last check.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 12.8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
I just want to thank the devs for creating such a wonderful game. At the time when I was playing it, I played with my friend who I had feelings for and we had lots of talks about all the situations in this game and the emotion of it. After beating the game we actually started dating and now today are married. Your game showed us that we had a lot in common and are great partners in life. This game will forever be in...

It Takes Two scores 90/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1426210/it-takes-twoThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 11, price as of Sep 23.
