Split Fiction (Gaming)

Cody and I finished Split Fiction a few days ago, and I'm just here to recommend it. Like It Takes Two before it, Split Fiction is a mandatory cooperative game. It's very similar to It Takes Two, but I feel like it's a bit more action focused. I'd have a really hard time picking which is better. I think Split Fiction has the better gameplay overall and is better paced. By the end of It Takes Two, I was ready for it be over, whereas with Split Fiction, I was left wanting more.

The last hour or so of Split Fiction is maybe the coolest, most fun thing I've ever experienced in a video game, and that's after a complete video game full of stuff that really impressed me for how inventive and just fun it is. There's a section in the middle of the game that could definitely support a full video game on its own, I think, but ever section of the game is really fun, and nothing overstays its welcome. Throughout each level are one or two Side Stories, as the game calls them, that give you a small break and about five minutes of doing something else. It really is impeccable.

It's a game where a lot of the joy comes from just playing it and figuring out the mechanics and fooling around, so I don't want to go into too much depth, but I really cannot recommend it highly enough.

It's better if you play with someone who is completely blind, I think, but if you want to play and don't have a partner, hit me up, and I'd definitely play through it again as the other character and just keep my mouth shut as much as possible. With the Friend Pass system, you wouldn't even have to buy it! I think that even supports cross play, so even if you're on Xbox, I think we can do it, although I'd need to verify that to make sure.
