Can this marriage be saved!? - It Takes Two [ENDING] 

Fave lines: "Mommy, the fucc is this?" "You moron, there's no buses on Sunday."

The “handcuffs” on the couch are wedding rings and I can’t get over how much thought went into this game and the items they use

Personally, I think the whole point to leaving the ending open to interpretation is because relationships don't get fixed in a matter of minutes or hours. They can come to a common understanding, as they did by the end of this game, but it takes much more time and effort to work through all of the problems in their relationship and get to a place where they feel like they don't have a "broken" relationship. The biggest things they learned are to communicate with each other and to follow their passions, and those are the foundation required to both have the ability to fix their relationship and to have the inner motivation to be happy and actually fix their relationship. So, all in all, I really appreciate the fact that they didn't just end it with "ok we're still getting a divorce" or "we're happy and everything is fixed now!!!", because neither of those would fit the state in which they ended the game. Their relationship isn't fixed, because it takes more than that, but they want to start trying again. And that is the best end to a new beginning I could think of.

"FUCK THE PUMPKINS" "Pumpkins are nice" I love this couple energy

As a divorce baby, this makes me wanna cry seeing two parents coming together for their daughter. You don’t see that a lot and it’s beautiful the game left the ending open to interpretation

One thing I've loved throughout this whole series is, since Jack and Gab are dating, there were times when Cody and May were fighting or making passive aggressive comments at each other while Jack and Gab were being cute and coupley.

Shame on the people calling Jack cringe when he was feeling his 60's vibes.

The excitement with which they both yelled "potato!" at the same time fills me with much joy.

"It Took Two" Is what finally broke me into horrid sobs

Haven't finished watching but I'm still laughing at the fact that Sean literally got possessed by the Book dude all throughout this game 😂🤣

"Found it at school, in a trashcan" So much for the book's story at the start of the game. XD

45:26 Nothing being said here is wrong, at all. But living every day with someone who isn't encouraging or supportive demolishes motivation and drive. When the person you love the most couldn't care less about what you are interested it, and doesn't make any effort in your favor, it is an absolute passion killer, and countless relationships suffer this way all the time.

2 things, 1: now that this series is over lets hope they bring back Minecraft. 2: can we please make "COLLABORATION!" a meme if it isn't already.

COLLABORATION *Hip thrusting*

Spider ride! Spider ride! Ride a spider, anytime! Upside down, left or right, Any way, is outta sight. Hey you! Let's take a spider ride!

I honestly think because they didn't fully talk it out and still have things to fix, they'll still get a divorce. But it's a good ending because they make sure to remind Rose that it isn't her fault their getting a divorce. Both Cody and May learned: Communication Appreciation And finding their passion within themselves. With this they can break off from each other in a healthier way, and even co-parent. They stay friends with each other while pursuing what they love, and even more so loving Rose.

I’m going to miss all the voices and references like jack rose and book of love and how they just build bits off each other so perfectly.

Personally, when I play chess, I use the "Aggressive No" strategy. I play aggressively, with no strategy. And I end up aggressively shouting, "NO!" everytime I lose piece. Been using that strategy since I was a kid. Pretty sure Jack could perfect it...

I like their doll faces more than their human ones. Somehow the doll faces look more friendly

i dont think their divorce was due to fighting or that they were on bad terms with one another, it seemed more like the lack of time together and just loss of interests that made them decide for a divorce, that was the reason i thought they werent fighting or against working with each other at the beginning anyways

I got to say it was really wholesome when May started being enthusiastic and taking interest in Cody's Garden. Before she was kinda dismissive of his stuff. It was really sweet and she seemed so much happier being supportive rather than dismissive.

Gab would have won that, cause she surrounded his queen and his king was vulnerable. This was such a good game

I love the open ending because it leaves it to your interpretation of divorce or relationship. Cuz not all mariage can be solved but you can still be friends and that's what Rose and the game focused on more than love so it's up to the player 👌😘

this game literally is making me cry, it is sooo fucking well done and creative and beautiful. i was shocked at every turn, brand new mechanics and features and ideas ive never seen in any other game. absolutely incredible.

In the chess part i was like " GAB DON'T FALL FOR JACK'S CHARMS, HE'S TRICKING YOU!!!!"

That is a sad and serious truth: Kids regularly DO blame themselves for their parents separating. Please don't do that to your kids, people!

How is this annoying ass book actually getting me emotional with his bull lbs. "You weren't born to be perfect. You we're born to be you."

The fact that Rose's note is so similar to my first suicide note made me cry so much I had to stop watching and come back later. It started out the same and was very similar in the middle

They over here riding the jumping spiders and being mean to them like they aren’t the most harmless and honestly considered the cutest spiders out there. BE NICER TO THEM. 😭

I love Sean's Voice impressions of the book character also just in general the commentary ya'll make and the fact this has split screen makes this one of the best gaming series i've watched and enjoyed love it

Think about how she found the book in the trash, representing how the last couple processed through a break up. Where these two realized how much value they held in their relationship. So they put the book on the shelf. Love.

My parents got divorced when i was little, but they stayed amazing friends. I didn't understand it at the time but, sometimes things just don't work out the way that you imagine them but that doesn't specifically mean it's a bad thing. So honestly as much as i'd like to imagine that their love was reignited i also accept that they just stayed as good friends like my parents we always go on vacations together and we still always spend all the holidays as a family.

i don’t care what they say! those spiders are cute as fucc! 🥺

Those small jumping spiders are cute. But spiders that are size of my palm, oooh boy... I'll pretend like that dog in the "This is fine." meme...

Collaborey-SEAN was just the cherry on the cake throughout this whole experience lol. I loved this gameplay Gab, you always deliver the best memories for us, and having you and jack boy play this made my days 💙 The message is quite vague in the end for me, but I love how, despite the Book being kind of annoying with them, but very cute and loco, his message is important; "collaboration" and "passion", not implying that they stay together, but growing from within lets say, to be there for their daughter WHILE choosing what's best for them as individuals. Divorce/separation doesn't always have to be the vi0lent choice it seems, tearing a family. But building a new journey for the whole team ❤

The amount of time jack says "this is easy" he dies immediately xD

I kind of like the idea of them still going through with the divorce but being friends and supporting eachother

This game honestly did so many things perfectly, and with all the heart it has and an ending that is somewhat optimistic yet realistic, I put this up there with one of the best releases of the year.

May's level is probably my favorite in the game. I looooove the musical electronics and stuff and how the level incorporated all of them. And May's weaponized singing was so epic, and was so in sync with the soundtrack, which is my favorite bg music in the game. It had some Hades vibes for the mic part. And the lights music was sick af.

I’d like to see a sequel/another game exploring the sibling dynamic of divorce.

0:57 The Gab Reaper has come for your garden! Hide your plants!

The "nghee" sound always makes me think of Arin so I was so happy to hear your impressions of it haha

1:38:15 "Never underestimate the power of the Cock and Ball Strategy." Seriously. I knew that Jack was just stalling for time, but the fact that he used his absolute 'confident panic' over not actively losing before then to mask the fact that he was getting Gab to run down the clock was genius. Absolute RU-vid play right there. Jack, "Yeah, go ahead, put the piece there, see what happens." Sweating like a pig, has zero clue what's happening. Gab, "Don't do that to me!" Knows exactly how to play but begins doubting herself anyway.

I have so much love for this game. The fact that you can take a bit of time for your friend/so/family member or even reach out to people. Both people don't have to buy the game, and there's just so many little cute details. It's not like other games where you promised your friend you'd play it together but then you still proceeded to play it alone. I believe this game will actually save marriages lol.

I don't tolerate any slander towards the spiders!! They're cute whether you see it or not :(( I mean I understand being freaked out about it the first time, but the whole time :(( made me a little sad

Not gonna cry, not gonna cry... Reaches end: 😭

I will forever remember... *COLABORATION*

I'm glad to see you and your boyfriend tackling this together. I've enjoyed every bit of it and gotta say, your gaming styles complement each other.

Finally... Been waiting all day for this......LETSSS GOOOOOOOO.....

The spider is adorable. Moles are the evil ones here.

May’s singing sounds like that of a mermaid and I absolutely love it.

Jack: You can't make the spider cute to me Me, a severe arachnophobe: Aww, he fuzzy.

This game being open-ended works perfectly. Even with couples' therapy, some marriages never get repaired. Any animosity between the couples may lessen or disappear, but it only grants clarity to think about divorce or staying together with a clear mind. If anything, couples' therapy is mainly a tool to teach couples to respect and listen to each other. And that's what Cody and May have been doing throughout the game with Dr. Hakim's guidance; they've participated in exercises to strengthen their understanding of each other and, at the least, remember why they fell in love in the first place. Remembering that becomes a great basis for trying to start over again, whether as a couple or as amicably separated individuals. So this game having an open-interpretation ending works very well. Whether or not they decide the marriage can be saved is not what's important; it's the fact they finally found common ground with each other and understand how to support one another and be there for each other. And most importantly, that their daughter should not be ignored in such a sensitively tumultuous time. Especially for a child Rose's age, it's easy that they start blaming themselves for their parents wanting to separate. It's a touchy subject that most people don't think of or consider, and it really puts into perspective how Rose tried to communicate with her comatose parents that she thought they weren't happy with her. A reflection of how children are receptive of these negative emotions and can be quick to blame themselves if not assured that they're loved and are not at fault for the situation. Especially when they really love their parents and are willing to do what they feel is necessary to keep them together. An overall beautiful game with a lot of heart and one of the greatest messages I've ever seen. Wonderful character growth and consistent advancement of the plot that parallels what couples would experience during couples' therapy.

it just scares me how much this couple relies on tears

Oh my god it was adorable when Gabbs told Jacks chat they were mean for saying Jack was cringe! Dammit chat! just let them have fun!

It would have been a lot cooler at the end if May acc sang, even if it was just a short song (like when songs are cut to 2 mins for talent show auditions). Wordless vocalisations are amazing (especially when their voice gets stronger/ belts & the music swells), but it would hv been nice for her to just sing something - maybe something that felt ethereal (like 'Into The Unknown' ). It was just a bit anti-climatic tbh, especially since her performance repeated the tune she'd been singing for the entire level leading up to it.

"Arent we killing the joy?" In a minute Evelien, in a minute...

If you listen closely, you can hear the Theme of the Game (The one May sings) playing in the background every time Cody and May have a "moment".

As a flute player, the way the orchestra lady is holding the flute at 1:54:49 hurts my soul. The guy to her right is fine though!!

Oh Jesus,I know I'm very emotional but Jesus that ending with the daughter thinking she's at fault really tears me up. I think while I dislike the ending, because I don't really like the message that divorces are the end all be all and finding your love will fix all your problems but damn if this game didn't make me smile and cry.

Lmaoooo Sean finessed the hell out of that chess game. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like the teamwork mechanics in this game! It’s so cool!

Oh man the jukebox part got me I literally just lost my grandpa Saturday morning it's now Sunday morning not even 24 hrs and I had a horrible relationship with him so hearing Cody speak so fondly of his really hurt I would have given anything to have a relationship like that with my grandpa damn he made me feel so unloved

Jack: You can't make a spider cute to me *sad lucas the spider noises*

I love all the different sections of the game, it’s so cool to see the different powers and mechanisms!! The environments are well made too! This game is pretty awesome, love it. I think my favourite section was the snow one. Just got to the ending, and I’m so sad. This game was beautiful😭. I loved Cody and May’s ‘toy’ character designs. The voiceovers were awesome too!! Overall, just an incredibly well thought out game

I’m going to be so so so sad when this ends!☹️ I love watching Sean and Evelyn play together ❤️❤️

May singing during the puzzles reminded me of that one song from "Until Dawn"

18:12 May and Cody: _murdering plush toy_ Jack and Gab: NOOOOO!!!! Also May and Cody: _starting to like spiders_ Also Jack and Gab: _grabbing a flamethrower after this section_

I don’t care what they say. To me, those spiders are adorable

Gabi and Sean playing the greatest game ever. I love the teamwork

I love Seán's usual criticism & analysis of games, but it was kind of disappointing for them to complain about the controls & such so often tbh, especially since it's hard to tell how much is actually the game's fault, i.e.: - there were some instructions they missed/ ignored while they were chatting - some controls they didn't understand bcos they were just assuming they'd work differently (e.g. they were comparing it to something else in their heads) - they experienced some lag/ desync w/ their internet during their streams (which wasn't the game's fault; it was specific to them bcos I've not seen any other playthroughs that experienced it), etc. This is one of the best games I've ever seen them play and I'm glad they got a lot of enjoyment out of it, but I hope they didn't let mistakes & issues like that upset their experience or negatively impact their overall opinion of the game - I hope they walked away from the game happy w/ the experience.

This game is really beautiful. I think the message about needing support really resonates with me. It's so hard to follow a passion on your own, and every tiny word of encouragement just makes you glow when you get it, especially from someone you care about.

I loved every second of this game and the commentary between Evelyn and Seán was so fantastico. You two have become my favourite youtubers from watching this series. I can't wait to watch more co-op videos with you two. And you are just the cutest couple. I can see you both really love each other. I long to have a relationship like that, with my girlfriend. Thank you both for such a great series and for being such an inspiration for me. Love you two!

Seriously love watching you and Sean play this game. I watched all the streams as you played, but I'm going back through them again because it's so fun.

That series was the most wholesome one I’ve ever watched and both of you made it even extra special! I literally waited for each episode to be uploaded The last part was the one that literally cracked me... when you got to the part when you help make a stage for May my heart! Dude it was so emotional for me I teared with no control when May started singing and my eyes was flooded with tears when they kissed😢 and let’s not mention the actual end of the game when Cody and May where looking for Rose and found her at the bus station and she starts explaining to her parents why she ran away my eyes it was like the flood from the Babel it was a Heartache for me at least FYI it took me a day to respond to this because I really wanted to share how much I enjoyed the series especially when both of you Evelien and Seán it will be impossible to watch any other gamer, youtuber and a streamer I follow play this... I mean it was perfect for me you playthrough so once again thank you both I needed this needed something wholesome like this🙏🏻 (Now I’m gonna suggest this game to my father so we can play it ourselves make our own wholesome moments)

" oh the mom was blue and cody was red, so rose is purple! " *cody having green icons and a green theme the whole series.*

Absolutely loved watching your playthrough of this game. Can't wait to watch more playthroughs of you and Seán together ❤️ x

I love the fact that all though the game the way they spoke to each other changed 😭

Sean making fun of the little girl talking to plants...they have actually proven that talking to plants actually helps them grow! They respond to vocal stimulus! 🤗

Thank you for this experience Gab! Oh, the ending song gave me chills. I really liked this playthrough with Gab and Seán, this was fun. I agree with the after thoughts over the credits. The writing was not 100% there for the type of story this was trying to tell. The characters aren't properly communicating about their issues, even though they start to become friends again. DANG this game is pretty though. The developers and designers have all done tremendous work, I want to visit every single game location in person. I'd love an art book for this~

You two are whimps in regards to spiders. They were adorable! Love this series! I’m so glad I discovered your channel (curtesy of Sean).

Sometimes you forget to remind each other that you love each other and that it’s okay to speak about yourself in a imperfect way. They were loud characters from the start so to be honest I doubt they got divorce. People make it like it’s normal to divorce over a vacuum, it’s never the vacuum. It’s the fact they both stop trusting each other just because someone would sometimes forget to vacuum.

im obsessed with games that have music levels so this is very happy

The way they match each other's energy is so cute

It was great watching both you and Sean play this game, the two of you make a great team.

That was such a powerful scene in the end. Of course they are going to be friends, this whole series was absolutely heart warming

aw I love that! the end is perfect in my opiinion, open enough to let you infer, closed enough to get the feeling that things have at least turned for the better

An irishman turning into a potato!?! Jack, how could you! Way to live up to the stereotype!

"Do you want the last peice or not?" "Hey that's blackmail." "No. THAT'S THERAPY!"

i was waiting for this upload all day, i love this series sm loll

This blew me away it was so fun watching you guys play !!

I honestly preferred the way it ended with the open-endedness. I would have hated if the game was like just communicate and support each other and help each other with your passions and it will all work out! I know someone who went through therapy for 2 years to try and save his marriage cause he had 2 young kids and it still didn't work out. I prefer the message that it can definitely help but it doesn't always necessarily solve everything. I do like the 'we'll put any differences aside for the sake of the child' spin it had on it. Overall - enjoyed it!

This was a great playthrough! Glad I watched through the entire series!

Why does May's singing sound like "Ohhhhh-ohhhhhhhh deeeeaaath. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh deeeeeeeaaaaaatttttthhhhhhhh."

This game had me crying all the way through. Beautifully made. They overcame obstacles and fixed many things they loved, TOGETHER. Ive watched my mother go rhrough 3 divorces... And they hit hard, especially that first one.... This game.... Was amazing. You guys did an amazing job. Thank you for this gameplay

Spoiler for the end: I think it was left open ended on purpose. Sure they were getting along better but they hadnt fixed anything that had been wrong with their relationship.I think the story was more them realizing how important their daughter was to them and what they needed to do for her. They may or may not have gotten a divorce but that isnt what matters, everything they did in the other world affected their daughter and brought a smile to her face/gave her a feeling of hope (excluding the elephant bit of course because that...... was..... sick)

yes, communication is very important in any relationship, including friendship. but not many people are interested in keeping up that communication so it falls apart. that's why my closest friend of 14 years and now boyfriend of 4 years communicate a lot despite the physical distance. it's not always easy, and sometimes we still get annoyed or mad over something that was said, but after a cool off period, things are as they were because we talk it out.

nice, i really like how they handled the ending by making it kinda open and neither super bad nor good but still feeling like it had a good outcome anyways. I worried before that the ending would just be 'so they don't divorce and are happy forever after', but now it just feels like they worked something out without any explicits

I adore It Takes Two- especially after watching Seán and Evelien Stream it on Twitch- but the spiders earned a *hard fucking NOPE* from me! Nothing you do, game, is going to make Arachnids cute!! And, much like Sea Turtles, spiders do not care for their young! The female lays her eggs and then it’s every nightmare inducing creepy crawler for itself! I also wasn’t fond of forcing May to sing. That gets another personal *NOPE* from me. I myself can’t sing when I feel pressured, so that’s completely due to my own discomfort level. And *(not that this has any bearing on the game itself)* don’t get me started on how shitty some viewers in Seán’s Chat were during the Chess mini game, even after he said he didn’t know how to play!! 😤 While I wish the developers had chosen a definitive end to the story instead of leaving it ambiguous, I still greatly enjoyed seeing examples of why Cody and May fell in love with each other in the first place. But, in my opinion, seeing them decide to go ahead with their divorce while simultaneously helping Rose to understand that none of this was her fault would have been the better ending. Again, all criticisms considered, I still love this game as much as I love the two people who played it. 💚🤗🤗💚

This game should definitely be a nominee for game of the year
