In the Split Fiction review, we take a look at a great co-oper adventure that brings together different worlds.
Are you ready to go deep into science fiction and fantastic fiction literature and live two different types at the same time? Thanks to Split Fiction, you will experience the most entertaining aspects of both species, and if you will salute the most popular species of the game world. Of course with a second friend with you.
Fantastic science fiction
The story begins with a group of writers whose books have never been published. In the end, when a firm reaches them and says, “We will print your book, but signed this agreement, it is not possible to reject this offer. But when they come to the company, they dress strange clothes and take them to an interesting machine and say, ın You live your story, we press it ”. There is an event like Animus in the Assassin’s Creed series.
In our main characters Zoe and Mio, two of these enthusiastic writers are here to suppress their books and make their dreams come true and make money. But Mio sees that other devices are working in the last second and is uneasy and does not want to enter the machine. As a result of the debate, he accidentally falls into Zoe’s part and stories unite. When the stories of two different fiction literary writers get together, they first try to get out of here. Then they learn that their employers in the outside world are trying to steal not only a story but also their “all their ideas” and strive to stop this operation.
Zoe and Mio are completely opposite and this distinction does not end only with their types. Lifestyles, life views, reactions to events and their approach to people are also very different. At the time, as a person who witnessed “science fiction vs fantastic culture” fights, the conflicts they experienced in the story were very familiar to me and I laughed abundantly. At the end of the day, they are one and they are trying to save themselves and their ideas, and on the other hand, they share the stories they write and the situations they reflect with each other, albeit unintentionally.
The main story of the game begins interesting, and the dynamic between the characters is so good that the story is the bad, the plot or something. In fact, the main story is the adventure of two characters and the fact that the issue of “Thief Company’s Bad Leader olan, which takes place in the background, remains weak. The story of Zoe and Mio is so beautiful, it is so pleasant to discover the lands they have visited and listen to their comments.
Constantly changing gameplay
Split Fiction is Hazelight Studios’s new Co-Op adventure, which has previously prepared A Way Out and It Turas Two games. If you are familiar with previous games, you estimate that this game is not a game where you can play alone. You need to play the common adventure of Zoe and Mio with you or with a friend involved from the internet.
The game has a structure that goes between the platform – puzzle – action. During the action adventures of science fiction writer Mio, we try to fight with the bombs and suns (!) Ready to explode and explode, and on the other hand, we try to act quickly between the platforms. Zoe’s stories come with more calm things written on fantastic lands and magic creatures, puzzles that we need to solve by avoiding dangers to reach the end, and the nervous enemies we have to hide.
Our characters have standard capabilities such as double jumping, avoidance and fast running and we use them abundantly on the platform parts. In addition, in each section, both characters have their own abilities. For example, in the sections we are Cyber Ninja, Mio can go to a different platform by crossing the gravity, while attacking with a sword, Zoe can remove various objects and enemies with the whip in his hand and throw them left and right. Our task as players is to solve how we can use the talents we have. Just as he sends the boxes to Zoe to hit the distant enemy and throws the boxes he caught with the whip on the enemy’s head. In addition, in some chase scenes, Mio’s gravity features, “If the road is finished, we will make a new way to ourselves”.
Throughout the game, we enter into a lot of different stories, we get skills in accordance with these stories, there are parts such as changing shape, controlling huge creatures, driving dragon. I do not want to say these things that say these and say, “Oha, this is also,”. The side tasks are playing mini -games of different styles in a completely different dimension, each of which is about short stories. For example, there is a game that foreigners call “Hot Potato ,, for example, the bomb in the hands of the explosion of his friend and tries to reach the end of the episode, or the old -style shump games similar to the struggles or PS1 adventure games. Instead of passing the side tasks, “Oh, I look after it,” they have been fun enough to make them say, and it certainly does not break the flow of the game.
As with other Hazelight games, we play this game constantly divided into two. Split Screen has been familiar with the PlayStation 1 semester for multiplayer games, but we see this game in the same way when playing online. In some places, the characters are the only screen because they go to the same plane, but usually get ready to play on the divided screen. I was thinking that we would like to have experienced both characters in a play, and when I started again with different characters, I saw that the job was not like this, you are not able to perceive what is happening on the other side while dealing with your own side, and it is quite good in terms of playability. The pleasure I received while playing the engine chase as Zoe was completely different.
Another feature I like about the gameplay is that it is a novice friend. In almost every movement, the game secretly supports you, balances you, you don’t have difficulty in jumping interchangeably. In fact, if your reflexes like me are too good and hasty, you can fall because the assists is not active due to speed at the simplest points, but there is no problem for a normal player. There are also so many checkpoints that you don’t get bored even if you die. He doesn’t break the morale of the more inexperienced player because you died in the middle of the Boss fight. Normally, in these cases, “I can’t do it,” they also thought about your playmate who left the game.
Trouble -free performance
Let me tell you from the beginning, Split Fiction’s performance is great. Among the games I have played recently, there was no other game that looks so beautiful and working so well. Once the environments look great, you are constantly entering different lands, you are in a part of the space, the other episode is in a forest full of fairies, and then you find yourself in a mega city created with the foundation of Cyberpunk. They all seem awesome, and even put some places to see the view just to see the scenery in some places. In each of them, they successfully live the atmosphere, the department designs are very nice and despite this, the performance is great.
Normally, I try not to follow the square ratio too much in games, while playing 2K – 4K resolution, it is acceptable for me if I buy a fixed 75 or 60 fps. In this game, I bought 120+ FPS at 2K resolution and I didn’t have any stuck. I don’t remember seeing such beautiful images from the eyes of different characters on the divided screen at the same time, both look beautiful and presenting a game with zero performance problems. Of course, the game does not come with a claim to have the most beautiful graphics in the world, but it has managed to present what it has in a great way.
Zoe and Mio characters, played by two actors who have previously played in various games and series on the voiceover side of the game, have revealed a great job. Their energy is great, the harmony between the characters has successfully performed well -written dialogues. Other character voice is not bad, but they do not stand out enough to comment. Music and sound effects are wonderful, each episode has music and sound effects according to its own style, and they are good enough to enrich the atmosphere. Like the part where you fight against the Sun, there are parts that thoroughly raise the effect it gives to the top thanks to the sounds.
Conclusion
Split Fiction is a magnificent game, one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played this year, and even though it is in a completely different category, it stands next to Monster Hunter Wilds. A beautiful adventure, great running mechanics, non -boring characters, great atmosphere, zero performance problem, and there are sections supporting with well -placed checkpoints that will allow even novice players to move easily. Almost a perfect co-op game.
The biggest flaw of the game is a completely personal problem, you can’t play alone. Especially after a certain period, everyone has their own work power and a program according to it, and it can even be luxurious to allocate 3 to 4 hours a day for the game. In this case, how will he play a game that lasts an average of 16 hours? This was the biggest problem I had during my review. There was only one copy of review, the Friend Pass was not yet active, and since the game was only me, the second person had to come to my house. For example, when I was almost close to finishing the game, I had to start again with another friend because of my friend who went out of the city again, so I had the chance to try different characters. There, the dates will come back again, the lady will be taken from or something, the review came naturally late, the embargo date on the day I just finished the game. In fact, the game “We are cargoing with a friend next to it” commercial was published while we were trying to finish the game, it came across very well.
You can say, ne What are you waiting for from the co-op game, of course it would be like that ,, you will be right. The game is already designed to play together completely, you can switch alone with two controller (tried), but at the end of the day a game designed to play with someone Split Fiction. The Friend Pass comes when you buy the game, so that someone else can play with you without buying the game. Jasef Fares and his team Hazelight Studios have shown a great job, even if you haven’t played other games before, you will quickly warm up to this game and say, “Let me play these other games at a time.”
