Reception

Split Fiction feels like a gift. Its sole aim is to entertain and bring players together by testing them at every turn. Hazelight gives us two distinct worlds, each filled with a huge array of activities for co-op partners to enjoy and argue over.

Split Fiction is an excellent continuation of the split-screen co-op joys that Hazelight has made their own. It takes a little while to get going, both in terms of gameplay and narrative, but once it hits its stride, there's just so many moments that will fill you with joy and delight.

Split Fiction is one of the most creative, inventive and downright delightful action-adventure games I've ever played. The team behind It Takes Two has once again crafted a genre-defying cooperative romp. However, the overly earnest and clunky story grates and acts as a barrier to all the madcap fun.

This is some of the best co-op platforming around and another must-have for those who want to take a fun journey with their bestie.
