Josef Fares has truly made his mark by championing unique, cooperative storytelling in video games. His founding of Hazelight Studios wasn't just about starting a company; it was about creating a dedicated space for games that demand shared experiences. The studio's work, particularly It Takes Two, stands out for its bold design and emotional depth, proving that games can be both incredibly fun and deeply meaningful. Winning Game of the Year with It Takes Two wasn't just an award for Josef; it was a powerful statement about the potential of interactive entertainment to connect players on a profound level, a vision he continues to pursue with every new project.
