"Split Fiction Receives Rave Reviews from Critics"

The latest title from Josef Fares, known for It Takes Two, has been making waves in the gaming community. Split Fiction, developed by Hazelight Studios, has garnered an impressive average score of 91 on MetaCritic and 90 on OpenCritic. Critics have lauded the game for its innovative gameplay mechanics and its ability to keep players engaged throughout the experience.

Here's a breakdown of some of the notable reviews:

  • IGN USA - 90/100 Notes Split Fiction as a masterfully crafted co-op adventure, emphasizing its thrilling gameplay and the studio's innovation in the genre. The review mentions a runtime of 14 hours and appreciates the ever-changing mechanics, though it points out a somewhat lacking plot.

  • VGC - 80/100 Acknowledges the game's visual improvements over It Takes Two and its engaging gameplay, but critiques the repetitive nature due to switching between locations and a plot that leaves something to be desired.
