At the time of writing this review, I have 323 hours in Split Fiction, all of them played with my daughter. We absolutely love this game and are currently on our third or fourth playthrough, which says a lot about how much replay value it has for us. You don't need to play It Takes Two before jumping into Split Fiction, but I highly recommend it if you're interested. Both games are fantastic co-op experiences, and if you enjoy one, there's a good chance you'll enjoy the other as well. Split Fiction is one of the best co-op games we've ever played. The gameplay constantly introduces new mechanics, the level design stays fresh, and the variety keeps every chapter exciting. Sharing the experience with my daughter has made it even more memorable, and it's become one of our favorite games to play together. If you're looking for a game to enjoy with a friend, partner, or family member, I can't recommend Split Fiction enough.
[h1]Missing the split-screen experience on a couch with a friend, partner or family member? Or simply just want to hop on to a nice co-op game? Then getting [b]Split Fiction[/b] is a total no-brainer![/h1] I've finished the game three times with three different close friends, and I absolutely love it from start to finish. The amount of creativity developers put in this game is top notch. Love all the details and some references from many other games and even shows. Story writing was good, it starts off pretty slow and can be somewhat chaotic in the beginning. Game completion including side stories should take around 10-15 hours to beat. One of the character seems unlikeable due to her mean attitude, though as the story progresses her character develops near end, as well as to the part where they have to obtain the other fragment and lift each other's spirit up, I find this particular moment really beautiful.. I almost teared up. Both sci-fi and fantasy world designs are very well-made and gorgeous, sometimes ya just gotta halt for a while and just enjoy the scenery. Gameplay is packed with loads of actions especially in sci-fi world, the fantasy world on the other hand is much more chill. While the game isn't incredibly difficult but it definitely requires significant teamwork at times, hence proper communication is key. There are also two minigames available as side story which lets players to compete each other for fun. The music playing in the background is nicely composed too. Overall the game is absolutely a blast to play, best part is the second player doesn't need to pay to experience the game! Will return to this game again for 100% achievements some other time when able. Definitely worth the full asking price, or at least try get it on sale if can. Much recommended for anyone who wants to have a fun co-op session with a friend/etc, you'll not be disappointed!
One of the best coop games I've played. It's very innovative and imaginative, recommended to everyone looking for 2 man coop. I'd also like to thank the studio for amazing option to invite a 2nd player(cross platform too!) to play that doesn't own the game, but can with you.
