Split Fiction

Split Fiction is a generational work. It’s brimming with creativity, tells a resonant story that reflects the current state of the world, and is a sincere love letter to genre fiction that has inspired so many of us.

Josef Fares has envisioned a brilliant cooperative action-platformer whose ingenious design method, easy to interpret but hard to overcome, is a glorious tribute to the creators, players and video game industry. Multifaceted, graphically phenomenal and full of gameplay moments that will always leave you wanting more.

Split Fiction is an incredible game for two people to experience. It offers rich and varied gameplay, with ever more intelligent mechanics, but also a neat universe like all Hazelight productions. Josef Fares' studio has created yet another great gem for fans of the gameplay school. Well done!

Split Fiction is an amazing game, and it is akin of any kids first visit to a candy store. It is crammed full of new ideas, new gameplay mechanics, bigger and shinier levels, but somehow along the way it’s lost a part of its soul and along with it some of the appeal It Takes Two had. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very good game, and I cannot recommend it enough, but the characters and the flow of the gameplay seem to have been misplaced among all the new things the developer throws at you. For me, this is a split experience.

Split Fiction is an excellent follow-up to It Takes Two. Though the very similar concept loses its shine a little bit, constantly changing gameplay, a heartwarming story and plenty of memorable moments make up for that. As does the plethora of easter eggs that can be found throughout the game.
