The Game Awards 2021's Game of the Year, It Takes Two, is currently 70% off on Steam, but players will need to act fast to grab the smash-hit title before the price cut expires on August 11. Developer Hazelight Studio skyrocketed in popularity following the massive success of It Takes Two, and fans who have yet to try out the studio's award-winning platforming adventure co-op title can now snag it at a majorly reduced price.
Games can receive big discounts for a number of reasons, with seasonal Steam game sales and the occasional developer or publisher sale offering huge savings for players looking to pick up new and popular titles. For fans of old-school platforming games and puzzling co-op experiences, It Takes Two may be an ideal pick to nab while on sale.
It Takes Two is 70% Off on Steam Until August 11
It Takes Two sees players taking on the roles of May and Cody, a struggling couple facing a testy divorce, as they are magically shrunken down into dolls and must traverse the surreal corners of their home and minds in an effort to return to their human forms and reunite with their daughter, Rose. The game features split-screen co-op, which can be played locally or online, and utilizes unique gameplay elements and puzzle-platforming to immerse players in intricately designed levels while emphasizing the importance of communication and cooperation. Ranked by many as one of the best co-op platforming video games of all time, It Takes Two won dozens of awards, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards. While normally priced at $39.99 on Steam, players can grab It Takes Two for just $11.99, until the 70% off discount expires at 12pm ET on Monday, August 11.
One of the biggest selling points for It Takes Two has been the creative ways in which it brings engaging gameplay for both May and Cody. Each level grants the two characters, and subsequently their players, special abilities like a sap-launching gun, wizard powers, gravity-defying space boots, a match stick launcher, and more. As the environments change, May and Cody's abilities change, keeping players invested as the game progresses. The banter between the troubled couple, paired with comedic relief side characters, brings a charming tone while addressing emotional human issues. It Takes Two and its successor, Split Fiction, remain among the most renowned co-op games in recent years, and may be worth checking out for fans of multiplayer gaming.
Co-op gaming remains incredibly popular, with AAA titles like Fortnite and indie games like Among Us keeping audiences interested in the diverse and ever-growing lineup of multiplayer offerings. Players can get It Takes Two for 70% off until August 11 and can stay tuned for more news on the latest video game discounts.
