“I trust my instincts and what I believe in a lot,” Fares told Polygon back in February. “And A Way Out was never any doubt, even if many people were concerned. Like, what about the market, will people play this if it’s only co-op … I’m like, No, this what we’re going to do. And we’re seeing that there is a market for it.”
PlayStation LifeStyle’s Chandler Wood thoroughly enjoyed It Takes Two, and lauded the game for its creativity, narrative, and engaging gameplay in his review. If you haven’t already, make sure to read the full review for more.
