In March 2025, the gaming world has already been buzzing with the emergence of several blockbuster titles and super hits.
In fact, just within the first three months of this year, there have already been numerous projects nominated for the prestigious title of Game of the Year. Notable mentions include blockbuster titles such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wild, and a game that, while not widely known, has received even higher ratings than the two aforementioned super hits.
The game is titled Split Fiction. As of now, according to Metascore, Split Fiction is currently outperforming the two blockbusters mentioned earlier.
Specifically, Split Fiction has a score of 91, while Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Monster Hunter Wild received scores of 90 and 88, respectively. Compared to the established favorite It Takes Two, Split Fiction not only competes strongly but also quickly distinguishes itself as an entirely different experience, being one of the most innovative and creative co-op games produced by Hazelight Studios to date.
Split Fiction offers a different level of gameplay compared to It Takes Two. The narrative revolves around a nefarious publishing company that uses hidden machinery to extract creative ideas from writers and turn them into artificial products aimed at profit. However, Split Fiction serves as a strong counterpoint to the trend of commercialization, showcasing a more authentic creative expression that can lead to profound experiences. From the way the game employs immersive controls to its unique mechanics, it represents a significant advancement over any previous titles from the studio.
The seamless connection between storytelling and gameplay has propelled Split Fiction far beyond the typical co-op gaming experience. The continuous interplay between different gaming styles encourages players to engage in scenarios where the collaboration between the two main characters, Zoe and Mio, is crucial. With an intelligent storyline, the gameplay never ceases to challenge and harmonize perfectly between action and emotion, making it undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable co-op titles currently available.
