New co-op game by Hazelight, the team who made It Takes Two. Have been waiting for this and has been well reviewed by IGN https://www.ign.com/articles/split-fiction-review
Down from $69.95. HN is $1 cheaper but I’d prefer it delivered. Big W is $59
CamelCamelCamel.
I wouldn't go off an IGN review if I was you… their review integrity is questionable at best.
Better off looking at Metacritic and checking the aggregate reviewer and user score.
Nothing wrong with IGN reviews, usually anything that is not CoD will get 7/10 reviews so just +1.5 for the real score
Or Forza games which they rate the best game ever with no obvious flaws…
To be fair Forza games are consistently very good.
Agree to disagree… just look at Dragon Age: The Veilgurd <vomit>… or more importantly Alien: Isolation.
So the metacritic is basically in line with the IGN review. Did you even bother to check?
"aggregate reviewer AND user score."
Need a deal on a second dualsense to go with this
Pre-ordered to support the studio for more split screen coop games, they're getting rarer and rarer.
Borderlands 4 coming soon
Same, I pre-ordered back in early Feb with Amazon hoping they might send it early so it would arrive on release day but being in WA I'm not holding out much hope - will probably arrive next week :/
Definitely not only that but fun.
Any deals for pc version?
While the aggregate reviews are great - there is consensus that the story is a disservice for the game. Get the game if you're into innovative mini-games, strong design, boss battles and minute-by-minute gameplay changes - if you liked It Takes Two, this is even more of that.
However, don't go in there expecting more than a Disney-lite tale excuse to string together many gameplay sequences.
It can only be played with a friend, but if you don't have one, you can gift a "friend" copy via Friend Pass, or join Hazelight's Discord to make new friends.

What a horrible take.
Geez, feel bad for anyone who finds the story of it takes two realistic/relatable to their relationships.
Guess I must be out of the loop
@Kingfield: This is such a braindead take. The story literally centers around the impact of two toxic parents fractured relationship on their daughter. The fact you then feel it necessary to have a go at those who relate to this unfortunately extremely common scenario is poor form. Who shat in your weetbix this morning?
@Kingfield: As said above, my read was that the characters were meant to be toxic and it was about their fractured relationship and their individual toxic traits impacted their daughter's life and how the daughter interpreted everything. Maybe that's not relatable for you, but it is for many people when looking at their parents.
Yeah, so weird.. The gameplay was really great and the levels were beautiful.
The only thing that left an impression about the story was the elephant scene 🥲
Eh?
"It takes two" isn't a story, it's based on true events.
Loved it takes two so I'm looking forward to this.
Just checked Metacritic, and holy shit this is absolutely going into the running for GoTY.
Josef Fares is probably gonna take home TWO awards if there's nothing else that breaks the Metacritic 90's.
Love Hazelight games. Looking forward to this one!
