If you’re familiar with Hazelight Studios from their previous games, A Way Out and Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons, you’ll know that they are a talented studio that take the idea of a co-op game and make it the centerpiece of their story telling and gameplay design. They’re one of the few studios that I can think of that understands that a co-op game takes an entirely different design philosophy to pull off well. Where Brothers was the start of their path and A Way Out improved their original design philosophy, It Takes Two feels like the culmination of everything they’ve learned all poured into a great game that’s varied and imaginative enough to carry two people through to the end.
A Way Out, It Takes Two, and Split Fiction sell 13m, 30m, and 7m units, respectively
Just a few days ago bought Split Fiction to play with my 8 year old daughter. We’re having a great time on it. Really good game. So intense haha
Well deserved. I personally think it takes two is better. But they're both great. SO much content, absolutely zero filler. No grinding, no collectables to drag out the game. Just constant new gameplay throughout a very very long game!
Fantastic games. Especially Split Fiction, so I'm very happy for them.
