It Takes Two charmed audiences when it was initially released four years ago, with its unique take on co-operative gameplay.

In an era where big online multiplayer experiences get all the attention, its old-school approach triggered the nostalgia in a lot of people.

This genre-bending game is ideal for nights in with your other half where you can work together across a huge variety of gleefully disruptive gameplay challenges instead of arguing over whose turn it is to do the washing up.

Play as clashing couple Cody and May, two humans who get turned into dolls by a magic spell cast upon them by their beloved daughter Rose.

You fight to save their marriage by solving a series of ingenious two-player puzzles. The screen is split in two and not only do you have to play with another person, your success is defined by your ability to work together.

One Amazon reviewer said both he and his partner loved the game. "It’s great that you only need one copy to play together on two Switch console's, unlike Mario Kart," they wrote.

"It’s great fun and also challenging in places with the boss battles. There should be more games like this as it’s fun to work as a pair to complete challenges."

Another wrote: "My girlfriend and I recently got a Switch, as an opportunity to play some games together.

"This sounded like the perfect game to get, and it really is. We haven't played a huge amount yet, but we are enjoying it thoroughly.

"It took my partner a little time to get used to it as she hadn't previously played many video games before, and you do occasionally have to be quite precise. So, if you aren't very patient, I would suggest you bear this in mind."
