- The game received a “strong” rating with critics and critics, and was a hit in multiple categories.
- Split Fiction offers unique gameplay, hidden secrets and special rewards to complete secret levels.
Split fiction is already considered a commercial and critical success, but Hazelight’s latest game can also build the claim that it belongs to the Guinness World Records for three separate achievements.
The three new world records established by the game are even more impressive as they were achieved within days of their release.
Divided Fiction enters the Guinness World Records
The Guinness World Records divided fiction into historical books:
- Most played local coop video games on Steam at 197,434 simultaneous
- Most sold local cooperative video games within 48 hours of release, with 1 million units sold
- Most sold local cooperative video games within a week of release
These are undoubtedly impressive achievements, and things will get better as the game sells more units.
Regarding critical appeal, the DualShocker review stated very positively. “Splitfiction has proven that Hazelight is simply the best modern studio in the cooperative business. Continuously filled with excitement, beauty, joy and truly ridiculous absurdity, this title, along with its spiritual predecessor, has earned the best two-player experiences from the present time.”
Other critics share this sentiment. The game currently has a “strong” rating on Open Critic and has an impressive 90 rating, averaged over 130 reviews.
The success of the game hasn’t escaped Hollywood either. Because the rights to movies in the game are fought by film executives about who can drive away movies based on their IP.
The game sets more than just a world record. Co-op games also achieved steam-related achievements that even the finest franchises like Battlefield could not achieve.
In case you didn’t know, this game has a special secret level with one of the most impressive rewards the studio gave to the player who first completed it.
As for the future of the game, it’s unlikely to get a DLC for Split Fiction, but Hazelight Studios has confirmed that it is already working on the next game without any interference from publisher Electronic Arts.
