by SmashPad Staff4. Split Fiction – Multiplatform
“It’s no secret that Hazelight has more or less become one of my favorite studios after the release of A Way Out. It Takes Two was my Game of the Year in 2021, and for quite a while Split Fiction held that spot too. I’m honestly surprised the game didn’t make more lists, and I’m convinced it’s because the people that played it didn’t finish it. To me, that last level is representative of impossibly perfect game design that rivals the polish of Tears of the Kingdom’s “Ascend” feature which was the reason why it was my Game of the Year in 2023. This game will see constant discounts next year, so I do hope people give it the time it deserves.” – Danreb Victorio, Executive Editor
