Fantastic game, all was great until the bomb section so after 2 hours of arguing with the wife over the section of the game we all hate we have decided to get a divorce. So the game game ended my marriage. So id give it more stars if I could. Would recommend if you dislike your wife.

After playing (it takes two) and it was like the first game my gf really enjoyed I wanted to treat her with another game, this is exactly what we needed to spend some hours at home when outside is raining. My gf doesn't like videogames but this one, she does so much, means that it is suitable for many different kind of gamers, even who is not really into games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super 👍

Just an amazing split-screen experience and the game!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun, easy for beginners to gaming

C.I. · 4 April 2025

Anyone who enjoys it takes two will enjoy this game. Quite fanciful yet simple, and easy one for people new or unfamiliar with gaming controls to take on too.4* as the world could have been developed more, and it does feel that the sci-fi side was a bit more of a side thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just WOW

The first game from the studio is my favorite one, but I have to say the leveling up their games have game after game is insane. After finishing the game my husband and I thought exactly, this is the studio finest work so far.First things first, the game It's funny as hell. The mechanics feel fresh and dynamic the entire game and it's impossible to get bored because you are always doing something new. Everything is so well design that you barely need to tell player 2 what to do, it's just intuitive, but I have to say we are senior players. So if anyone with less experience plays dont worry, the game does a magnificent job with simple but fun mechanics. The difficulty is well done and it's not easy or difficult, it's perfect, and doing it together is really rewarding.The amount of creativity the game has is amazing, feels like they have a bunch of ideas and wanted all of them inside, and it worls marvellous with the game theme. I don't want to say anything more because if you go without any media noise or detailed opinions you'll have it all.A great candidate for GOTY if not GOTY itself.

Pues bien, he encontrado el juego perfecto para jugar con mi peque.Llevamos muchas horas jugando a Split Fiction en PS5, y tengo que decirlo: es una pasada. Desde el primer momento, la acción no da tregua, los gráficos son una locura y la historia te engancha más de lo que esperaba.🎮 Lo que más me ha flipado:✅ Los gráficos son una bestialidad, se nota que aprovecha todo lo que puede la PS5.✅ La jugabilidad es rápida y adictiva, cada partida se siente distinta.✅ El mando DualSense hace que todo se sienta más real, cada golpe y cada movimiento tienen su propia sensación.✅ La banda sonora acompaña perfecto, te mete de lleno en la acción.✅ La variedad de situaciones y de mecánicas.✅ Las subtramas son tan buenas como las principales, no querrás perdértelasSi te molan los juegos frenéticos, con historia y bien pulidos, este es un sí rotundo. No esperaba viciarme tanto, pero aquí estoy. Totalmente recomendado. 🙌🔥

Amazing

Original and game is very good

Split fiction is weer een top coop game

j. · 28 March 2025

Als liefhebber van Take Two, zijn we ook onmiddellijk verkocht door dit nieuwe coop spel. Heb het gevoel dat de actie in de eerste uren al direct wat hoger ligt dan het vorige spel. Het ziet er heel goed uit, nog beter dan het vorige. Nog altijd even leuk en volgens de zoon zelfs leuker nog dan het vorige. Volgens hem kanshebber op Game of the Year :D Meer van het zelfde en nog steeds met grappige scenes en knipoogjes naar andere games.

Titolo imperdibile da giocare in compagnia

G. · 29 May 2025

Il titolo come It Takes Two è spettacolare, bello da vedere e sempre divertente. Con una sola copia, come per il capitolo precedente, potete giocare in due anche da remoto (io l'ho giocato con un amico per il quale è stato sufficiente scaricare l'edizione gratuita con pass amico) e vi garantirà 12 o più ore di divertimento, che potrete anche considerare doppie perché a distanza di un po' di tempo dalla prima run potrete giocare con personaggi invertiti ed avere un'esperienza ludica abbastanza diversa, dato che ognuna delle due protagoniste ha poteri e in alcuni casi deve compiere azioni o attraversare percorsi diversi dall'altra. Consigliatissimo, non fatevelo sfuggire se avete qualcuno con cui condividere questa esperienza. Ovviamente, non è possibile giocarlo da soli.

Digne successeur d'It Take Two 🏆

Digne successeur d'It Take two, cet opus nous mets direct au cœur de l'action. Limite un peu trop car les premiers passages du jeu passent vite et c'est dommage de na pas avoir le temps d'admirer les paysages, jeux de lumières etc ...Même si le joueur suit un chemin prédéfini avec une aide de visé un peu trop assisté par moment à mon goût, il reste des défis à relever au niveau de la coordination des deux joueurs notamment.Le scénario alterne phases de jeu et cinématique avec un bon rythme et la diversité de gameplay, d'univers et de costumes sont délirants. 😂On voit bien qu'ont étaient implantées un maximum des idées de l'équipe de développement. Juste une question. À quand le prochain jeu ? Je précommande direct. 👍
