Split Fiction Takes the Crown as 2025’s Best-Rated Game
Alright, let’s talk about a huge shake-up in the gaming world—one that nobody saw coming. Monster Hunter Wilds was sitting comfortably at the top of 2025’s best-reviewed games… until now. A new challenger has arrived, and it’s none other than Split Fiction , the latest title from Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios.
If you don’t recognize the studio by name, you probably know their work. They’re the ones behind It Takes Two , the 2021 Game of the Year. That game was all about co-op, bringing back the magic of playing side by side with someone—whether it’s a friend, partner, or even your kid. And now, Split Fiction is here to build on that legacy, pushing things even further.

What makes Split Fiction so special? It’s a wild mix of sci-fi and fantasy, seamlessly blending two genres in a way we’ve never seen before. In an industry obsessed with sequels and clones, this game dares to be different. And critics are loving it. So much so that it just edged out Monster Hunter Wilds on Metacritic, scoring a 91 to Wilds’ 90. That’s right—this indie co-op adventure just dethroned one of the biggest AAA games of the year.
Now, don’t get me wrong— Monster Hunter Wilds is still a massive success. It’s dominating console charts, hit a million concurrent players on Steam, and sold 8 million copies in just three days. But the fact that Split Fiction is getting this level of recognition? That says a lot.
Looking ahead, both games are strong contenders for Game of the Year. And with other big titles on the way—including Kingdom Come: Deliverance II , Avowed , and Civilization VII —it’s shaping up to be an intense race. Of course, the real wildcard is GTA 6 . If Rockstar actually sticks to its fall 2025 release date (which, let’s be honest, is a big if ), it might just sweep every award in sight.
But here’s the thing— Split Fiction is something unique. It’s bringing back a style of local multiplayer that nobody else is even attempting. If you miss the days of sitting next to someone and playing together, this game is for you. And the best part? You don’t have to wait long. Split Fiction drops tomorrow, March 6.
So, are you ready to experience one of the most innovative games of the year?
