Play this when
It Takes Two
A game you literally cannot beat alone. Ask your partner to play it with you and see how you really communicate.
Who it's for
The game is strictly two-player, and nearly every level gives each partner a different ability that only works in combination with the other's, so progress literally requires coordination, listening and timing.
Feelings it meets
