I really enjoyedSplit Fiction, Hazelight Studios latest co-op adventure.

In that regard, its a solid step up from Hazelights previous game,It Takes Two.

Split Fiction isnt badly written like It Takes Two, its much, much worse.

You and your co-op partner begin to appreciate its hokey characters and cringe-inducing jokes.

Pair that with an excellent co-op experience and the game confidently sits as one of the genres best.

Split Fiction sees Hazelight attempt a more consistently dramatic story than its predecessor.

The writing in Split Fiction is fine, perfectly passable, the same can be said for its performances.

Instead, I would urge Hazelight to lean into its campy nature and personality for its next game.

take a stab at be more like Resident Evil with its cringy dialogue and strange yet lovable characters.
