Split Fiction review: A fantastical, unforgettable adventure
I spent most of my childhood playing couch co-op. I learnt comradery and faced hardship in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Gears of War. I hit strikes in Wii Sports, fought off Juggernauts in MW2 Spec Ops, rode a polar bear in Crash Bash, and ran from the virus in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Hours were spent in front of the TV connecting my sister’s and my love for video games. While our preferences for genres are different, we could always go back to the co-op games of our childhood and find solace in them, and Split Fiction has achieved the same.
Split Fiction takes many popular, pre-existing ideas and brings them together in a highly unique way. Yes, its story isn’t anything special, but its delivery and excellent blending of sci-fi and fantasy make Split Fiction one-of-a-kind. Games like these always make me wonder “how hasn’t this been done before?” Hazelight Studios has done it again, bringing couch co-op back into the spotlight, in a place where it deserves to shine.
