Hazelight's most ambitious and inventive co-op adventure, it builds on It Takes Two's snappy platforming while piling on dozens of fresh, asymmetric mechanics that never run out of steam across its roughly 10-hour run. The fantasy-versus-sci-fi premise, optional side stories, and strong character writing keep the pace varied and surprising, capped by a dazzling finale. Notably more demanding than its predecessor, but it stands as one of the most joyful co-op games to date.

Gorgeous environments, fantastic gameplay, and sheer spectacle make Hazelight's release an early contender for game of the year.

    Split Fiction is an excellent cooperative game with spectacular visuals, varied gameplay mechanics, and a well-developed narrative about two writers bonding through shared experiences. While controls are slightly less refined than It Takes Two and the emotional impact falls slightly short, it remains a masterpiece and must-have for cooperative game fans.
