Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming EA's first game to surpass a 90 Metacritic score in over a decade. This achievement follows widespread critical acclaim from various review outlets.
A 91 Metacritic Score and Universal Praise
Split Fiction has garnered near-universal praise, boasting a Metacritic score of 91 based on 84 critic reviews, earning it a coveted "Metacritic Must-Play" designation. This impressive score is further bolstered by a 90 on OpenCritic, where it received a "Mighty" rating. The game's success marks a significant milestone for EA, as the last title to reach this high a score was Mass Effect 3 in 2012, which achieved a 93. Subsequent EA titles, including Battlefield (2016), It Takes Two (2021), and Dead Space (2023), while highly rated, fell just short of the 90+ mark.
Here at Game8, we awarded Split Fiction a 90/100, captivated by its exceptional level design, engaging narrative, and the sheer joy of exploring its world with friends. For a more detailed look at our perspective on Split Fiction, please read our full review here.
