Danny Martinez of The Koalition writes: Since the past few console generations, online multiplayer has been king. Very little “couch co-op” games exist and when they do, they don’t fare well amongst Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Destiny type video games. The developers at Hazelight Studios specialize in strictly making co-op games and have this idea of bringing the word “couch” back into the fold with a twist. Games such as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and A Way Out encourage you to play with a friend side by side in split-screen co-op action. Their latest game It Takes Two has a similar ideology that makes co-op games just as fun as they use to be.

Split Fiction is the latest co-op game from the creators of "A Way Out" and "It Takes Two." Like its predecessors, it's an instant hit among Steam gamers, reaching concurrent player counts of more than 200K. Built on the Unreal Engine 5, it doesn't utilize Lumen, Nanite, or Virtual Shadows.
Split Fiction has become the second-biggest EA-published launch on Steam, tripling the peak concurrent player count of It Takes Two.
Every game this dood directs embarrasses EA. I'm amazed that EA has actually published all this doods games so far when they go against their beliefs. Hazelight one of the few studios proving this AAA game obsessed industry wrong.
This game is in my wish list. I may pick it up later this year because my current backlog is huge.
Hazelight is the best studio currently making games. Their first three games have all been phenomenal.
I wish A Way Out, It Takes Two & Split Fiction could be played with an AI partner. I could play Josef Fares's first game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons by myself, but not any of his other 3 games.
A fantastic co-op game very much worth playing.
I beat it twice, once on ps4 and once on ps5. Got 2 platinum trophies for it also. Really fun game.
