WHERE MAGIC GLITCHES

I immediately connected with Split Fiction as soon as the game started. With its bold stories and charming colors or immersive sound effects, you fully connect with the game and get the full story. The bad guy in this game is J.D. Rader, the founder of Rader Publishing. Everything changes when both worlds collide. Although you don’t fight Rader often you see him in all the villains in the game.

The game offers a wonderful and light experience that will get you hooked. As Mio panics at the last second and tries to escape, she falls into Zoe’s machine, creating the Glitch. Mio accidentally enters Zoe’s Fantasy world and ends up pulling her to her world as well.

Although side stories are known for not being that interesting, Split Fiction managed to change my mind by maintaining well-paced and exciting stories to follow. Starting a side story as a pig or a tooth definitely made things interesting.

Side stories are made of Zoe’s and Mio’s unfinished funny or creepy stories from when they were kids. These stories remain intriguing, constantly pushing you to discover what happens next.

Between Parkouring, solving puzzles and navigating different worlds, you enjoy every bit of the story. Nevertheless, how chaotic yet organized this game can be, it certainly gives each player a unique experience, with a distinct taste, even though you’re in the same stage and moment in the game.

Being haunted by a robot that just wants to kill for not paying parking tickets, and other fun side stories like being a pig, then ending up as sausage in someone’s mouth. These kinds of stories might sound fun, but they provide the perfect combination of creativity and Humor. 

Nevertheless, the game seamlessly switches genres transitioning from puzzles to boss fights to other challenges. With genre hopping, you don’t know what to expect, as you might be racing at a point then a second later, you’re escaping trolls or fighting a big boss.

As soon as you start the game, you’ll be advised to use your controller for the best experience and you’ll realize that it’s really smooth yet challenging.            The more you play the game, the more you’ll see how the developers made it entertaining.

The more you progress in the game, the more you’ll realize that although the controls and mechanics change, it’s still pretty easy and totally manageable. Surprisingly, shifting between creatures in the side stories occurs fairly smoothly and instantly as they come in handy during your gameplay.

Every level introduces new mechanics with genre twists, you don’t play long enough for the game to feel boring. The synergy between Mio &  Zoe creates one outstanding experience, and is essential for your stories to advance and move to the next level. This keeps the experience fresh and engaging.

Jumping between the sci-fi and fantasy worlds allows the gameplay to shift tones smoothly while syncing your actions through communication. Hazelight Studios went for highly detailed graphics while maintaining an artistic and imaginative design that perfectly fits the game’s spirit.

Split Fiction keeps your movement and exploration restrained, serving the story well. The tightly curated environment keeps the tension high and puts you in constant immersion in the game without losing focus.
