Josef at it again with the co-op kino. ITT is a nonstop rollercoaster of fun and variety. Each level has some fun new gimmicks and setpieces that keeps the gameplay fresh throughout the journey. The writing isn't spectacular or anything but combined with the presentation it's quite charming and the subject material is something rarely found in video games which elevates the story quite a bit. The difficulty with which Cody and May overcome their past squabbles and reignite their romance feels convincing since it takes over 10 hours rather than being done in a 2 hour movie or something. Speaking of which, the length is notably longer than A Way Out and I was pleasantly surprised with how they were able to fill that time with new ideas rather than padding wherever they could. Also the elephant scene was seriously messed up, truly one of the most noteworthy tone shifts in gaming history. Aside from the gimmicks, the core platforming is pretty solid as well and the visuals/music are pretty high quality. My biggest issue with the game was the ridiculous amount of crashes I experienced which was especially annoying considering A Way Out had almost no technical issues. Thankfully they released a patch that mostly eliminated the crashes but I was only like 2 hours away from the end at that point.
