Split Fiction Garners Critical Acclaim

A Stunning 91 on Metacritic

Split Fiction has earned universal praise, boasting an average score well above 90 across major review aggregators. This makes it a landmark title for EA, marking their return to the top tier of critically acclaimed games. The last EA game to achieve this was Mass Effect 3 in 2012, which scored a 93 on Metacritic. Subsequent high-profile EA releases, including Battlefield (2016), It Takes Two (2021), and Dead Space (2023), while well-received, fell just short of this prestigious benchmark.

Currently, Split Fiction holds a Metacritic score of 91, earning it a coveted "Metacritic Must-Play" designation based on 84 critic reviews. OpenCritic echoes this success, awarding the game a 90 and a "Mighty" rating.
