Split Fiction review: A fantastical, unforgettable adventure

Why settle for one game when you could have many?

I spent most of my childhood playing couch co-op. I learnt comradery and faced hardship in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Gears of War. I hit strikes in Wii Sports, fought off Juggernauts in MW2 Spec Ops, rode a polar bear in Crash Bash, and ran from the virus in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Hours were spent in front of the TV connecting my sister’s and my love for video games. While our preferences for genres are different, we could always go back to the co-op games of our childhood and find solace in them, and Split Fiction has achieved the same.��
