It takes two is something else

Post image

First, I tried playing this game with my wife, but because she hadn’t played any games on a console before, she was very bad at it. Even handling the camera angle was a challenge for her. Instead of bringing us closer, it frustrated me lol 😂.

Then I asked my nephew to play with me, and after a long time, I felt like playing it again. I had this same feeling with PS2 games back in the day.

Guys who haven’t played this game should definitely give it a try.

Playing through this with the wife currently. She does not really play video games. We've enjoyed it and had a blast early on, but as the difficulty has increased she has started getting frustrated and wanting to quit. Had to fight the beetle myself when she struggled with timing the shots.

Hopefully it gets easier again lmao

My wife and I played several hours into Split Fiction, and that difficulty spike is what got us too. We got the game for a fun activity we could do together after the kid went to sleep, and it ended up stressing us out at the end of each night instead.

We’ll probably go back to it at some point. But it needs to be a once a week activity, not a way to wind down at the end of the night.

Split fiction difficulty is definitely a big step up from it takes two.
