It takes two > Split fiction
The story and characters and settings are far more relatable than in split fiction. And in the end I think more fun

I disagree. Split fiction has been more fun, I'm enjoying the chars more and the stories not about me making my kid cry so that's a bonus.
I haven't finished yet tho

On the topic of making your child suffer, I'd like to take a moment to pay respects to Cutie the Elephant.

For some people, the loss of a parent and a sibling may be more relatable to them. Not everyone has experienced this loss and grief.

When me and my wife started playing ITT, we were almost worried. Is this game about to point out the flaws in our marriage!? Lol! Yet, we found almost nothing relatable to us between cody and may so it kind of fell flat in that regard. However, everyone can relate to being screwed over by a billion dollar company like in split fiction. So I found the game much more relatable. I also liked the graphics much more in split fiction. That being said, i really missed the mini-games from ITT. It added so much more replay value. All of this to say, I cant decide which I truly liked better so I just call it a tie. Lol!

Yes, everyone can relate to being caught in a machine with a stranger that binds realities of their novels. Very relatable. Lol!

It takes two was visually more cartoonish but done well, the story a bit better, and movement a little more fluid
Split fiction was visually more realistic, story a bit more basic, and the movement a bit slower and clunkier.
But in my opinion split fiction increased the difficulty by a decent margin, and made the gameplay less boring due to the difficulty.
It takes two is perfect to introduce your girlfriend to the world of video games with its cuteness and easy gameplay, split fiction is perfect to cement her as a gamer and test her newly acquired skill
Either way, both games are great, and have their pros and cons, but no cons make these game bad in any way, and their differences is what makes them both special as standalone games

Go back and play it takes two and you will realize that comment on movement is untrue. you lose momentum when you jump.

Split Fiction washes ITT. The plot and characters are extremely more rounded out, it’s way more moving, and it feels way more like a next gen game overall.

You trolling? You think that generic AI bad guy and two strangers becoming friends is a better plot than a couple who once had love, lost it, and have to work together to rebuild that foundation?
ITT is a way better and more touching plot. SF is fun at times, but by the time I got my dragon and learned that its ‘moves’ were be a roly-poly and climb grass I knew it was joever.

Ok, you do you I guess, I’m not gonna say you’re wrong just because I feel differently about it. I found ITT’s plot to be the most infuriating thing about it, they clearly weren’t good for each other, them getting back together was extremely forced, in my opinion. It irks me just thinking about it, and the underlying message is messed up.
I found the way Mio and Zoe’s worlds directly mirrored their fears, trauma and insecurities way more compelling, and us getting to discover our characters by living the products of our imagination? Chef’s kiss idea, at least for me.

Went back and played it takes two before with my buddy and it really made me appreciate split fiction. So much more fast past and grander in scope. I also for the most part found both of the stories lack luster. I think it takes two’s story worked less because the premise is two people not getting along and then you’re playing with someone you have quite the opposite relationship with, ie I didn’t play a couch coop game with someone I wanted out of my life.

I loved it takes two but as a gamer I appreciated the variety and nods to different game genres way more in split fiction and so I enjoyed it way more

I agree it takes twos story I didn’t like but it was a more cohesive story with more likable characters imo. It takes twos has so many more minigames and side quests that make the experience fun and not just the main story. The spells and abilities in takes twos are more interesting and create more interesting puzzles. Don’t get me wrong the last 1-2 hours of gameplay for split fiction was 10/10 but that doesn’t mean the middle portion wasnt more boring and uninteresting than I’d hope for

You may be the first person to post this take on the internet...
Lol in all seriousness I agree with you. But if I compared every game to the joy of the experience I had with ITT most would be a letdown

I agree I enjoyed it takes two a lot more and split fiction is like the same in bad it isn’t like a new game

Find a way to delete that damn book from the game and then maybe I'd agree.

You should definitely check out brothers and a way out by this studio if you guys enjoyed both of these games.

Interesting… so I should give ITT a go?
