Does anyone know if the writing is any better than It Takes Two? My gf and I loved the gameplay in that game but the writing was just awful.
Split Fiction sold 1 million units in its first 48 hours

It’s not.
I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)
At least, like It Takes Two the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.

It’s way better in my opinion. My fiancé and I have the same opinion about ITT as you described, and we both enjoy Split Fiction much more!

It has perfect review scores so it must be way better than ITT, which, I agree, ended horribly, as if maybe they were rushed or out of budget by the end or something. I look forward to SF way more.

I’m not sure what the intent was, but the message we took was “children ruin everything”
The kid looked creepy as fuck too.

Hazelnut has a lot of potential and their previous games are absolutely awesome. Cannot wait to grab Split Fiction anytime soon.

Can you play this single player? Don’t have a friend.

Nope, it’s designed to only be played co-op.

Assuming you have a partner, it’s absolutely mind-blowing!

Shame it’s made by EA

It’s published by EA. There’s always the hope that they learn what people like and stop doing the lousy things, which they have done in a handful of different things, but then when they don’t, you just shop elsewhere.

I don’t mind EA as a publisher. They can even make decent games, See Star Wars Squadrons, but when the executives get involved in development it all goes to hell.

I played about 2-3 hours online with a friend over the weekend. It’s pretty fun, the puzzles seem very easy though so far. Had a fair few issues though with frame rates dropping, I’m on a 5 year old machine running Linux, but my friend has a much better machine and still had.
Also swimming has normal movement, but flying has inverted vertical by default, wtf is that?

Can’t seem tot buy it without paying for the EA subscription shite on Xbox so I’ll wait.

I tried the friend pass in demo with MKB + controller, it looks awesome so I didn’t go far because I don’t want to spoil me anything.

My partner and I will definitely be getting it, but for now we’re deep into Wilds.

It would have been better if it were a live service

My partner and I have played 4 hours so far. It is definitely a good game, feels smooth platforming wise. Also isn’t ‘easy’ (casual gamer standards) since it has a lot of different types of gameplay that they throw at you and makes you think on your feet. For instance, my partner (who is a gamer, but only for certain genres) had trouble with flying/driving in some sections.
So far a 5/5 game. I did come across some bugs, but nothing annoying or game breaking. Just funny ‘hiccups’ like sticking to objects that can be fixed by just button mashing or something.

It defaults to inverted flight controls, which some people like, but others hate. I suggest your partner disable the inverted controls.
