Split Fiction is the latest release by, Hazelight Studios. Just like its predecessors, you can’t play Split Fiction alone, but Friend’s Pass is here.

Hazelight Studios’ sci-fi fantasy adrenaline rush “Split Fiction” is the most ambitious project yet for Josef Fares, director of inventive co-op games.

Split Fiction is an obligate co-op game. For this review, my husband Travis and I hopped between Mio’s futuristic cities and Zoe’s fantastical kingdoms like walking through the cars of a passenger train. In each section, we got a new set of powers designed to work only in that particular world.

Split Fiction” pushes the limits of genre and co-op gameplay in an imaginative adventure through two wildly different worlds.

Hazelight has created another brilliant adventure that's going straight into our best co-op games list. Split Fiction is quite the opposite of industry trends right now; amidst everything, it's a bastion of ingenuity and gives me hope that creativity isn't quite as in danger as I feared.

What happens if neither of you own the game? No problem. The Friend's Pass offers a free trial for both players which includes the opening stages of Split Fiction. Both players will need to download the Friend's Pass version of the game, and once either of you purchase the full game, progresses can be continued.

Hazelight Studios follows up It Takes Two with another stellar co-op experience, delivering genre-bending fun in Split Fiction.

Playing through Split Fiction's mix of fantasy and sci-fi worlds is a refreshing experience in the often-lonely world of gaming.
