SPLIT FICTION: TWO STORIES, ONE COUCH

Split Fiction key art — Hazelight co-op. Steam/store art used for review.

9 of 10 bananas. Hazelight co-op magic again.

By the Alpha. Studied against reception. Updated Sept 2026.

Platforms: PS5, PC, Xbox (Amazon CTA is the listing you filled).

Sit with me a moment. Josef Fares keeps betting on friendship as a mechanic. Split Fiction splits genres across two players and asks you to trust the person on the other pad.

What It Wants To Be

A crafted co-op adventure on PS5, PC, and Xbox: set pieces, genre swaps, and laughter that needs a partner.

What Works

Co-op invention. Level craft. The feeling that the game was built for streams and living rooms, not empty trophy lists.

What Breaks

Listen well. Solo players get left outside. If your friend flake rate is high, this sits on the shelf.

Who Should Play

Play with a friend you trust. Skip if you only buy solo campaigns.

STRENGTHS

Brilliant co-op design
Set-piece variety
Perfect stream duo energy
Multiplat

HONEST COSTS

Needs a partner
Solo value is weak
Session length varies
Not a loot grind
