Split Fiction
In Split Fiction, two writers mysteriously find themselves trapped in the worlds born from their pens: universes ranging from classic fantasy to visionary science fiction.
Each chapter is a surprise, a mosaic of dragons, robots, and landscapes that merge and deform according to the laws of creativity and narrative chaos. Like a novel written by four hands, collaboration is key: only by working together can the protagonists rewrite their destiny and find a way out.
An ideal experience for those who love shared stories full of emotions, laughter, and moments of pure video game wonder. Here you can find the review.
It Takes Two
Developed by Hazelight and published by Electronic Arts, It Takes Two – which won the “Game of the Year” award at The Game Awards 2021 – is a wonderful title that can only be played in cooperative mode (online or local).

The protagonists are Cody and May, a couple who decide to divorce after an argument. Their daughter, after making dolls in the shape of her parents, tries to “resolve the situation” with a book titled “Book of Love”. Cody and May, due to a “tear”, find themselves trapped in the dolls. The protagonists will have to collaborate and master unique abilities. You can find It Takes Two on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
