Zugegeben: Damit dass Couch-Coop für uns und unsere Hörer*innen SO ein wichtiges Thema war, haben wir gar nicht so gerechnet. Umso interessanter, dass eines der vielleicht wichtigsten Spiele des Jahres eben genau ein Couch-Coop-Spiel ist: Split/Fiction. Ein Spiel für genau zwei Menschen, die im Splitscreen kooperativ in  Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Welten Rätsel lösen, Bosse besiegen und Hüpfpassagen meistern müssen. Gemacht von den Meistern des Genres, Hazelight, die schon mit Spielen wie It Takes Two und A Way Out viele Fans begeistert haben. Wir haben's gespielt und...hm. Aber hört selbst.
