About this game

Split Fiction is Hazelight Studios’ follow-up to It Takes Two, and it sticks with the formula that made that game a co-op standout: two players, one story, zero option to play it solo. Here the premise centers on Mio and Zoe, two writers whose imaginations get hijacked by a machine meant to mine their ideas, and the two of them end up trapped inside their own unfinished worlds. One writes sci-fi, the other fantasy, and the game keeps swapping between those genres as the two women fight to get their memories back and find a way out.

How it plays

This is a strictly two-player co-op action adventure, built to be played side by side or online with a partner rather than alone. You and your co-op partner each take one of the writers and move through a chain of distinct set pieces, since the game leans hard into variety rather than repeating the same mechanics level after level. One stretch might have you riding dragons, the next drops you into a cyber-ninja fight, and after that you could be running from trolls or dodging cars hurled by a robotic parking attendant. The abilities you use shift with the setting, so the game is constantly asking you to relearn how to move and fight, and success depends on coordinating with your partner rather than just executing your own moves well. It’s built around surprise, so the game deliberately avoids settling into one groove for long.

Who it’s for

This one is easy to sort. If you don’t have a regular co-op partner, or you have to play alone, there’s no version of this game that works for you, so skip it entirely. But if you’ve got a friend or partner who’s up for a wild ride and you both enjoy action-adventure games without needing deep RPG systems or tactical depth, this is close to a perfect pick. Fans of It Takes Two already know roughly what they’re getting, though Split Fiction pushes the tonal shifts even further between its two genres. People who prefer slower, more methodical games might find the constant genre-hopping exhausting rather than fun, but if you like being kept off balance and enjoy games designed for shared reactions and shared laughs, it’s built for exactly that.

Is it worth it?

For the right pair of players, this is the kind of game that earns its place in a co-op rotation because it doesn’t waste your time repeating itself. Games built specifically for two people are a smaller niche, so when one lands well, it tends to stick with players who remember it fondly long after finishing it. If you and your co-op partner are choosing what to play next, this is a strong candidate to keep on a wishlist, and it’s exactly the sort of experience worth grabbing when Steam runs a sale on it rather than paying full price on a whim. Wait for a discount, then jump in with someone you actually want to spend a weekend with.
