Metacritic Consensus Scores 91 - A Rare Feat for EA

Hazelight Studios' innovative co-op adventure has taken the gaming world by storm, achieving the prestigious 90+ average score across major review platforms. This marks the first time an EA-published game has reached such critical heights since Mass Effect 3's 93 rating back in 2012.

Recent EA heavyweights like Battlefield (2016), It Takes Two (2021), and the Dead Space remake (2023) came close but couldn't crack the elusive 90+ threshold. Split Fiction now joins that exclusive club with its sterling 91 Metacritic rating, earning both "Universal Acclaim" and a "Must-Play" designation from 84 professional reviews. OpenCritic echoes this sentiment with a 90 score and "Mighty" rating.

At Game8, we awarded Split Fiction a well-deserved 90/100. The game dazzles with imaginative level design, a compelling narrative, and pure cooperative joy that makes every discovery feel special with friends. Want our full take? Check out our in-depth review below!
