    My 9yo had a pretty awesome take this morning: “Split Fiction shouldn’t win game of the year. It’s multiplayer ONLY. I could enjoy it because I have a brother. But some people don’t have brothers. Some people don’t even have SIBLINGS. If you don’t have my brother, the game won’t be as good.”

    While playing Split Fiction, I recorded what it was like playing it *with* my kid. (There's a bunch in my review.) I think it's worth hearing how a child engages with a game. This was a real Proud Dad moment, as she strung together a difficult sequence and succeeded.

    I've been playing Split Fiction with my 8yo, and I've got great news: it's *so* fun. So long as your kid has basic platforming skills and you’re okay with a few swears and a lil’ violence, you'll have a great time.

    Yesterday, me and my friend Dark3stBo1 finished Split Fiction...and oh my gosh WHAT a game. Seriously, Split Fiction was an insanely fun game and one of my favourites I've played recently. Insane visuals, super fun gameplay and a great story. Get a friend and play it, it's worth it. #Goat #Gaming

    When it comes to value for money, this game shows the highest level of respect a studio can have for players. The $50 price tag in 2025 is honestly amazing for a game of this quality. Add in Friend Pass, which lets you play with your friends across different platforms, and the fact that there’s no Denuvo or annoying third party launchers that alone is a huge sign of respect toward gamers. Story wise, I think it’s a bit weaker compared to It Takes Two and A Way Out, but that ending… absolutely…

    Hazelight Studios make the best co-op games, hands down. All 3 of them; A way out, It takes two and Split fiction are must plays. Besides how good the games are, their policies are: no dlc and buy one copy of the game and your friend plays for free. Does require EA Play if that bothers you. Another 10/10 imo.

The gameplay keeps changing constantly and every new chapter feels like the developers came up…

    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…

    Finished Split Fiction. Firmly planted as my choice for GOTY so far. Not my favorite, mind you, but the most creatively stellar video game of 2025. Every few minutes my partner or I would say "This is so cool." And that is not an easy feat. Grab a friend, play this game.

    Me and my husband loved "It Takes Two" so, so much and we got very excited, whenever we heard that the devs gonna release another game. They didn't disappoint at all. It is again probably one of the best gaming experience I ever made. I absolutely love the fantasy stories. The creativity and the details are again just unbelievable and gorgeous. I am so in love and realized again, that I found my best friend and best gaming partner in my husband. ♥ The devs already created core memories! I hope…

    I'm genuinely surprised this game is rated as high as it is. If it was $10-$20 I would maybe understand, but for $50 this is baffling. The two main characters are unlikable. Zoe, the redhead, is naive and sheltered. Mio, the brunette, is mean and has a victim complex. Their very first interaction tells you everything you need to know about them. Zoe says, "Hi! I'm energetic," and Mio says, "Shut up." Enjoy that for the next 10 hours until they start to open up about their personal traumas or…

    Played this with my wife (PC + PS5) and since it was our first game together, it ended up being way more emotional and wholesome than I expected. She was nervous at first, hoping she’d be “good enough to play alongside her hubby,” but within minutes we were laughing, messing around, and having the best time. The sausage and pig parts had us absolutely losing it, she was still giggling about them the next day. Some levels were frustrating, but even the chaos felt fun. I was Tinkerbell, she…
