There’s a bug-sized shower fashioned from a garden hose nozzle, and a bug-sized massage table that’s basically just a flat rock, and even a little meditation room (it's a candle holder). Once inside, our grumpy duo gets the chance to unwind while a slew of little bugs tends to their every need. RELATED: Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting It Takes Two It’s in the garden level, and pretty clearly labeled, so while it’s not required, it’s pretty hard to miss.

That’s how we feel about the optional Greenhouse Spa that Cody and May can find themselves in if the player is feeling generous. It’s genuinely rare and rarely genuine when there’s a moment in a game that has no functional value that is to say, there’s no extra gameplay, no extra story, nothing, it’s just there, and somehow, it’s still worth playing through. While we may be stumbling face-first into the literal point of the game, it’s a lot easier to blame it all on that awful book, Dr.

From a lore standpoint, does that mean that Hazelight Studios exist inside of the game that they created? Or does A Way Out have a fictional creator inside It Takes Two? Even more interestingly, if Cody’s preferences are affecting the magical world that they’re trapped in, how much of what they suffer through (besides the obvious) is really just ironically self-inflicted? Sure, this is cool - after all, A Way Out was an exceptional game, but the bit that sparks our interest is when Cody first spots them, he exclaims that they’re from one of his favorite video games. RELATED: Things Everyone Completely Missed In It Takes Two They stand upon plastic plinths, and should you press the buttons at their feet, provide some comical banter. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, hidden deep inside the Pillow Fort is a set of action figures that are none other than Frank and Leo, the playable characters from A Way Out. In a move that surprised no one whatsoever, Hazelight Studios added a room into It Takes Two where a certain duo from a certain game can be spotted. If this is how they solve their emotional issues, maybe a divorce was always looming on the horizon. So it’s clearly a surface level joke when Cody and May take joy in shattering the pots in the hidden room, but when you think about it for a second, their verbal acknowledgment of how good it feels to break things becomes, well, a bit sinister in the context of It Takes Two. It’s a running joke in the video game community that Link, the protagonist of The Legend Of Zelda series, has something of a breaking and entering habit - with a dramatic emphasis on the “breaking” part. It’s hidden inside the Cuckoo Clock level, near the Gates Of Time (listen, we get the wordplay), and finding it gives you an equally obtuse achievement, called “Force Triangulated.” Everyone enjoys a nod to one of the most lauded games of all time, we certainly do, it only becomes odd when Cody and May relish it… for slightly different reasons. Possibly the most obtuse easter egg in the game is the near one-to-one recreation of the Hylian guardhouse from The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. There are twenty-five of these minigames spread throughout the levels, and you can totally ignore them if you want to…. It becomes endearingly clear that Cody and May bond over the competition in, well, maybe not a healthy way, considering all the dying (relax, it’s never permanent), but a cute one. Fortunately, though, interacting with these games shows a different side to these two. Well, Cody and May can step away from their magical marital issues to do the same thing, except it carries a different story weight to it when the characters in question are already struggling to be in the same room, let alone play shuffleboard together.

A little healthy competition never hurt anybody, right? Fans of Hazelight Studios’ last game, A Way Out, will remember that convicts/besties Frank and Leo could simply step away from the main action of the story every now and then to savor the important things, like playing basketball and arm wrestling.
