Split Fiction review: Multiplayer couch co-op for sci-fi and fantasy fans

There are loads of multiplayer games out there, but few require players to actually meaningfully communicate and properly work together as a team. They can usually be completed by players carrying out individual roles to achieve objectives with at best a few words or messages exchanged between team members. Split Fiction is a little different.

The game’s developer, Hazelight Studios, has a track record of breaking this mould by delivering multiplayer co-op games with brilliant stories, where players actually have to rely on and talk to each other to get through challenges, with superb level design and fantastically varied styles and gameplay backing everything up.
