It Takes Two (2021)

Each chapter gives the pair a fresh activity and a useful stopping point on the way to a definite ending. Allow around 12–16 hours, or longer for less experienced platform players. It requires exactly two people, locally or online, and Friend's Pass lets an owner invite a partner. Online progress starts from the host's unlocked point, with chapter selection useful for resuming or catching someone up. Stay with the same pair for the story; optional minigames and achievements need not become another month on the calendar.
