What players say
5/10 Story is utter garbage, skip every cutscene if you can. Play it like a Mario co-op platformer, or just go play Split Fiction.

The elephant scene in It Takes Two is, in my opinion, one of the most disturbing scenes in the entire game. It goes far beyond what is necessary to tell the story and turns cruelty and violence into entertainment. What makes it even more concerning is that the game can be played by children and teenagers. Presenting violence in such a graphic and comedic way can potentially make cruelty seem normal or acceptable...
Fun game with a lot of interesting mechanics, I recommend to play it, especially with someone that matters to you :)
