Split Fiction PS5 | VideoGame | English

My husband bought me this game for my birthday, and it did not disappoint! This is by far the best couch co-op game I’ve ever played. From the very beginning, the game pulls you in with its incredible storyline that’s easy to follow but still full of surprises, emotion, and exciting moments. What I really loved was how well the game combines both sci-fi and fantasy themes. One moment you’re exploring futuristic worlds with advanced technology, and the next you’re immersed in magical fantasy environments. The variety keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and exciting the entire time. The co-op experience is what truly makes this game special. Working together, solving puzzles, and progressing through the story as a team made it so much fun to play with my husband. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making the gameplay enjoyable for two players. Absolutely loved this game from start to finish and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, story-driven co-op adventure on PS5.

Probably one of my favourite games I've ever played. Two player sofa co-op (or you can play online), not sure if single player is possible but it'd be a waste anyway as it is designed to play cooperatively. Amazing graphics, level design, an interesting and novel story. Plus some really clever switchover bits that are quite hard to describe. You can really feel the love and care put into every part of the game. Really enjoyed playing this with my daughter. Only downside it is a bit short but it's priced as such so won't complain.

Great game! We haven’t finished it yet, but my wife and I are having a fantastic time playing it together. The gameplay is fun, engaging, and perfect for couch co-op sessions. The story is even better than we expected and keeps us looking forward to the next chapter. If you’re looking for a co-op game to enjoy with your partner or friends, I would definitely recommend this one.

Spectacular experience and quite a ride, although rather than a rollercoaster, this is a whole theme park. With the theme being Sci-Fi Vs Fantasy, you're being taken across varied array of beautiful and colorful set pieces of non-stop action, platforming and environmental puzzles. With gameplay gimmicks constantly switching just as the environment does. Sometimes you're riding dragons, sometimes you're in a high-octane chase sequence... Switching gravity around skyscrapers, transforming into animals, flying in an ironman suit, slinging spells, dodging lasers... You don't have time to be bored. The gameplay, controls, design and direction of the stages. It's masterful work. You can really tell that the developers know what they're doing when crafting couch co-op adventures. If there's anything to complain... The Story and characters are easily the weakest part of the game. It's a story about novice writers literally exploring their underbaked scripts and ideas, but outside of the purposefully bad writing and tropes they encounter, the actual plot and character writing are just marginally better. Nothing exemplifying it more than the antagonist, which is so nonsensical and cartoonishly evil (in addition to being a very thinly veiled allegory on issues with Generative AI,) that it's basically a Saturday morning cartoon from 80's. However, it's not that big of a deal. The star of this game is the actual gameplay, story is for the most part just a vehicle providing opportunity for many diverse set pieces, gameplay ideas and referential jokes (both in terms of narrative tropes, and video game ones.) Sure, it would be amazing if on top of all that amazing level design already in the game, the story would also be a genuine tearjerker... But it doesn't NEED to be it. A little bit of camp is perfectly fine, it does the job well enough, and it isn't distracting from the main focus. The game is not perfect, but honestly, despite those flaws it was one of the most fun experiences I had this whole year. Given... This is a strictly co-op game, so your personal experience may vary depending on who you'll go on the adventure with.

Good game to play with a partner. However characters are quite unlikeable and whiny, and dialogue of enemies is cheesy to say the least. Still fun to play though

Split Fiction is Hazelight Studios' latest co-op adventure, following the success of It Takes Two. Directed by Josef Fares, the game offers a unique blend of storytelling and gameplay. What I liked: Engaging Co-op Mechanics: The game requires two players to work together, controlling protagonists Mio and Zoe. Each character has unique abilities that complement the other's, making cooperation essential. Creative Storytelling: The narrative explores themes of creativity and collaboration, as Mio and Zoe navigate through simulations of their own imaginations. The story is both humorous and heartfelt, keeping players invested throughout Visual and Audio Design: The game's art direction is vibrant, with distinct environments reflecting the protagonists' contrasting genres-sci-fi and fantasy. The soundtrack adapts to the changing settings, enhancing the immersive experience. Accessibility Features: Split Fiction includes adjustable difficulty settings and accessibility options, allowing players of varying skill levels to enjoy the game together. Minor downsides: Limited Single-Player Options: The game is designed exclusively for two players, with no single-player mode available. Occasional Technical Issues: I had some minor bugs and glitches, but these do not significantly impact the overall experience. Final thoughts: Split Fiction is a standout title that combines inventive gameplay with a compelling narrative. It's a must-play for fans of cooperative games and storytelling.

Great game with brilliant story perfect to play with your kids

Two aspiring teenage writers find themselves trapped together in a virtual world where the stories they have written are played out. The pair must work together to find a way out. An excellent game for myself (an aging gamer from the 80's) and my daughter. Great sense of humour, on-the-fly solvable collaborative puzzles and a decent story put this vey high on my list of favourite games ever. Will definitely play it again when my daughter goes back to Uni. If there is a down side to the game, there are a few parts where internet based play (rather than local based split screen) had just enough lag to make some parts very difficult but, with a bit of perceverance, we got through them eventually. The level of imagination used to stitch this together and, especially towards the end of the game, blend these worlds is gaw-droppingly incredible. I look forward to whatever Hazelight Studios come up with next. Just to be clear, only one of you needs to own this game to play it as a twosome (but only the owner gets the trophies!). Stunning game.

This game comes in CD form, so make sure you have a CD slot first! It was exactly what I was looking for, as I wanted the CD. Game is great overall, the disc was delivered fast and had no issues at installation. Would recommend!

Ce jeu est une pépite de la coopération. J'ai vraiment pris beaucoup de plaisir. L'histoire est sympa et le gameplay varié avec des touches d'humour . Et une bonne touche de try hard pour le niveau caché qui m'en a fait bavé 😅

Gran juego para jugar en compañía, pareja o amigos, no es tan bueno como el anterior juego del estudio, pero es diferente y merece la pena jugarlo. La historia no es la mejor y para jugarlo no necesitas grandes habilidades, pero la diversidad de escenarios mapas, haciendo que cada uno sea diferente y que te asegure unos buenos ratos.

Perfect

Super jeu vidéo !
