It's a masterpiece, I haven't experienced anything like that before. This game is so creative and beautiful, I loved every part of it, especially the shapeshifters and dragons levels. I played it with my husband and it was the best game we ever played, we had such a good time. It has forever a special place in our hearts <3
Split fiction is a fun and diverse local co-op game from the renown Hazelight Studios. Pros: -A nice variety of levels with different mechanics and interactive mechanics. -The side worlds/missions are delightful changes of pace where we get to be more goofy and just have fun. -Some good old teamplay mechanics, one person has to active the thing so the other person can do their thing and etc. Cons: -The story is honestly kinda whatever. The villain is just evil, and despite the game being about theft of ideas, everything in here just seems like a variation on already existing media/ideas. -The fantasy/sci fi settings do start to get stale by the 2nd half. They need to build on the mechanics more instead of just slapping a different skin over the same sequence. The tech outfits/worlds kind of all look generic, and many of the fantasy worlds are just different forest vibes. The side missions are the saving grace in the variety regard. Overall Split Fiction is a fun co-op game to playthrough with a partner. While it has a very nice coat of paint, the actual mechanics within very rarely fully engrossed me as I was hoping. Rating: 7.5/10
Peak co-op game experience, if you have someone to share it with. Looks beautiful, interesting story (though simple), good gameplay that keeps changing and thus is interesting. The game feels really high action with zero grinding or boring bits. Some parts of the gameplay in the end made me like "whoa this is really interesting idea!". And there was this one part that really made me laugh. Really interesting idea with changing between worlds, which also makes the game feel fresh. This one is better than It takes two or A way out. I really wanted to binge through this game with my SO.
