10 Games to Play if You Love Split Fiction
Mar 12, 2025
In a not-so-distant past, there was a time when co-op games were thought to be extinct. Save for a Tekken here or a Fifa there, gamers wouldn’t even bother purchasing a second controller for their console as they had no incentive.
Hazelight Studios saw the dwindling sales of game controllers, didn’t like the numbers and tried to take matters into their own hands. The studio led the charge in breaking the trend and started to develop co-op titles that absolutely do need a second controller if they want to be played locally, which is the more intimate way to experience them, as compared to online co-op.
Split Fiction is the studio’s newest and boldest step in this direction and brings with it asymmetric mechanics with emotionally-charged writing. For those who love its unique fusion of genre-swapping, character-driven narrative and tightly designed teamwork-based gameplay, there are plenty of other games that scratch a similar itch, some of which are from the same studio.

Few co-op games take asymmetric gameplay as literally as Tick Tock: A Tale for Two. Unlike Split Fiction, where two characters interact with the same world, this game keeps players completely separated, giving each person only half of the puzzle.
