Split Fiction Review
The co-op kings keep their crown, shared custody with their own last game. An 8.8.
The Good
- Two genres collide on one split screen
- A new toy every level, the Hazelight promise kept
- The pig level. No spoilers. You'll know
The Rough Edges
- The emotional core is thinner than It Takes Two
- A couple of set pieces overstay
First, the correction, because I said it out loud today: It Takes Two is ONE of the best co-op games ever. Def not the best. Consider the record corrected, on this site and everywhere else I've said it.
Split Fiction is why the correction matters. Hazelight took the same formula, two players, no solo mode, a new toy every level, and split it across two writers' brains: Mio's sci-fi and Zoe's fantasy, colliding on one split screen. Cyberpunk ninjas one minute, dragon-riding the next, and a pig level I will not spoil except to say you'll be crying laughing.
It's bigger and bolder than It Takes Two, and a half-step less perfect: the story's emotional core is thinner, and a couple of set pieces overstay. An 8.8. The co-op kings keep their crown, shared custody with their own last game.
