Josef Fares: You’ll love It Takes Two — or you can break his arms and legs

Only Josef Fares could make a heartwarming video game about divorce. His newest creation, It Takes Two, debuted yesterday as a co-op adventure game from Electronic Arts and Fares’ Hazelight Studios.

The timing of this lighthearted romantic comedy is wonderful because we’re all overdue to feel good. The couch co-op game is a two-person adventure where you play as Cody and May, a bickering couple. They tell their daughter they’re getting a divorce, and she runs off to a barn where her tears fall upon two dolls of her parents. And her tears magically transform the unhappy duo into the dolls.
