The soundtrack adapts to the changing settings, enhancing the immersive experience. Accessibility Features: Split Fiction includes adjustable difficulty settings and accessibility options, allowing players of varying skill levels to enjoy the game together. Minor downsides: Limited Single-Player Options: The game is designed exclusively for two players, with no single-player mode available.

It adds depth to the gameplay, making each challenge feel purposeful.​ Friend's Pass Feature: The inclusion of a Friend's Pass allows players to invite friends to join the adventure for free, promoting inclusivity and shared experiences. Cons: Steep Learning Curve: Some puzzles and challenges can be quite demanding, requiring patience and collaboration. While this adds to the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles, it might be daunting for some players.​ Occasional Visual Clutter: During intense sequences, the screen can become visually busy, making it challenging to focus on immediate objectives.

Spectacular experience and quite a ride, although rather than a rollercoaster, this is a whole theme park. With the theme being Sci-Fi Vs Fantasy, you're being taken across varied array of beautiful and colorful set pieces of non-stop action, platforming and environmental puzzles. With gameplay gimmicks constantly switching just as the environment does. Sometimes you're riding dragons, sometimes you're in a high-octane chase sequence... Switching gravity around skyscrapers, transforming into animals, flying in an ironman suit, slinging spells, dodging lasers... You don't have time to be bored. The gameplay, controls, design and direction of the stages. It's masterful work. You can really tell that the developers know what they're doing when crafting couch co-op adventures. If there's anything to complain... The Story and characters are easily the weakest part of the game. It's a story about novice writers literally exploring their underbaked scripts and ideas, but outside of the purposefully bad writing and tropes they encounter, the actual plot and character writing are just marginally better. Nothing exemplifying it more than the antagonist, which is so nonsensical and cartoonishly evil (in addition to being a very thinly veiled allegory on issues with Generative AI,) that it's basically a Saturday morning cartoon from 80's. However, it's not that big of a deal. The star of this game is the actual gameplay, story is for the most part just a vehicle providing opportunity for many diverse set pieces, gameplay ideas and referential jokes (both in terms of narrative tropes, and video game ones.) Sure, it would be amazing if on top of all that amazing level design already in the game, the story would also be a genuine tearjerker... But it doesn't NEED to be it. A little bit of camp is perfectly fine, it does the job well enough, and it isn't distracting from the main focus. The game is not perfect, but honestly, despite those flaws it was one of the most fun experiences I had this whole year. Given... This is a strictly co-op game, so your personal experience may vary depending on who you'll go on the adventure with.

This game comes in CD form, so make sure you have a CD slot first! It was exactly what I was looking for, as I wanted the CD. Game is great overall, the disc was delivered fast and had no issues at installation. Would recommend!

PS5 version, English it is and well packaged and Genuine product.

Ce jeu est une pépite de la coopération. J'ai vraiment pris beaucoup de plaisir. L'histoire est sympa et le gameplay varié avec des touches d'humour . Et une bonne touche de try hard pour le niveau caché qui m'en a fait bavé 😅

Nos ha gustado mucho, videojuego para ps5 ideal para parejas, amigos, hermanos.. necesario que seáis dos personas para jugarlo. Lo hemos recomendado a nuestros amigos, si os gusta it takes two, este también os encantará

Geweldig spel om samen te spelen op de bank. Ik vond het leuk dat vader en zoon eens samen een game kunnen spelen. Ik vindt het spel uitdagend, mooi, leuk verhaal en elke speler heeft net iets anders te doen, maar samen spelen is een must.
