Elden Ring's Director Really Loved It Takes Two

Asked what he thought made It Takes Two "unique or memorable," Miyazaki confirmed he didn't have "much interest in it at first" but later resonated with it, stating:

It didn’t let up throughout, and it never let me get bored. The art and gameplay are different in each stage, and the game encourages you to cooperate across its entirety yet still maintains that artistic element. It’s continually fun to play and felt extremely fresh to me right up until the end, which was impressive to me as a fellow creator.
