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.

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.

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.

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

I never write reviews, but I rarely find a game that’s this good. The amount of creative ideas that have gone into this game could have padded out two or three games, almost every scene has something new to it there’s almost zero repetition. The way you genuinely need to work together to progress is also brilliant, I’m in my 40’s and have a 12 year old son who is my partner and we sometimes get stuck and work it out as a team. Sooo good I don’t want it to end. Some of the panoramic views in both the futuristic and fantasy worlds are crazy good. 200% recommend.

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.

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.

Compré Split Fiction sin saber muy bien qué esperar y la verdad es que me ha sorprendido bastante para bien. Es un juego que mezcla narrativa y mecánicas de una forma muy original, y eso se nota desde el principio. La historia engancha, tiene momentos bastante creativos y sabe mantener el interés sin hacerse pesada.Uno de los puntos fuertes es su estilo visual y la manera en la que juega con diferentes ideas dentro del mismo universo. No es el típico juego repetitivo: constantemente introduce pequeños cambios que hacen que no te aburras. Además, la ambientación está muy cuidada y ayuda mucho a meterte en la experiencia.En cuanto a la jugabilidad, es bastante accesible pero a la vez tiene suficiente profundidad como para no quedarse corto. Quizá en algunos momentos se siente un poco confuso o experimental de más, pero en general eso forma parte de su encanto.No es un juego perfecto, pero sí muy recomendable si te gustan las propuestas diferentes y con personalidad. Se nota que hay creatividad detrás y eso hoy en día se agradece bastante.En resumen: una experiencia original, entretenida y distinta a lo habitual. Merece la pena darle una oportunidad.

On a commencé Split Fiction un peu par curiosité et on s’est retrouvé complètement happés par l’histoire et les idées de gameplay à deux. Les niveaux sont variés, beaux à regarder et on n’a jamais l’impression de refaire la même chose, ce qui donne vraiment envie de relancer une partie le soir. Si vous cherchez un jeu coop fun, bien écrit et avec une durée de vie très correcte, foncez, vous ne serez pas déçus.

Perfect

Excelent, it's new and sealed 👌🏻😎😁

Bardzo polecam!
