Importance Score: 35 / 100 🔵

Split Fiction: A New Benchmark for Cooperative Games

In a recent review, VGChartz’s Lee Mehr suggests that Split Fiction sets a new benchmark for cooperative gaming experiences, drawing parallels to the acclaimed Like It Takes Two. The critic poses an intriguing question about how Split Fiction measures up against Hazelight’s previous title, acknowledging the distinct merits of both. While expressing a slight preference for the whimsical nature and inventive gameplay of Like It Takes Two, the reviewer anticipates that Split Fiction‘s finale will remain unmatched for years, though welcomes being proven wrong.

Comparison to Like It Takes Two

The review highlights the inevitable comparisons between Split Fiction and Like It Takes Two, both prominent examples of the co-op genre. Mehr considers Like It Takes Two‘s design, rooted in a “Toy Story-esque logic,” and its resultant creativity, to be particularly noteworthy.

A Spectacular Finale

Despite this admiration for Hazelight’s earlier work, the reviewer strongly praises Split Fiction‘s concluding section. The assessment suggests that the game’s finale is of such high caliber that it is unlikely to be surpassed in the foreseeable future, setting a potentially new standard for game endings within the cooperative format.

Minor Imperfections

Acknowledging minor drawbacks, the review mentions occasional narrative shortcomings and infrequent instances of platforming inaccuracies within Split Fiction. However, these slight flaws are presented as insignificant when weighed against the overall positive experience.

Unadulterated Joy

Ultimately, the reviewer emphasizes the overwhelming sense of “absolute joy” that Split Fiction delivers. According to the assessment, any minor issues fade into insignificance as players become immersed in the delightful and engaging nature of the game, culminating in a thoroughly enjoyable overall experience as the credits roll.
