If you bought the game, you can invite a friend online to play it with you in its entirety.

The game is polished for the most part and doesn’t have any major bugs either, though some players are facing minor technical issues. If you are constantly running into the It Takes Two crash during gameplay, here are a few things you can try to fix that.

The title has been received positively from both users and critics. It is currently sitting at a Metacritic score of 90, and a Very Positive rating from users on Steam. If you’re looking for a solid co-op experience with some excellent art direction, this is the game for you.
