In Split Fiction, the latest creation from Hazelight, the game is a treasure trove of references and Easter eggs that would make even the most die-hard fan's head spin faster than a Bugatti Veyron. From the brutal torture of poor Cutie the elephant to the giant billboards promoting Tango, a drink that takes two to tango, the nods to past games like It Takes Two are as subtle as a sledgehammer. Dr. Hakim, that eccentric book of love, makes a waffle-themed appearance in a fever dream side story that's more confusing than trying to find your way out of a roundabout in Swindon.
But the references don't stop there. From the infamous Giant Enemy Crab to the barrel-throwing antics reminiscent of a certain ape, Split Fiction is a love letter to gaming history that's as heartwarming as a pint of warm beer on a cold winter's day. And let's not forget the nods to iconic characters like Star Fox, Sonic, and even a sneaky shoutout to the Master Chief himself, all wrapped up in a package that's more British than a cup of tea at Buckingham Palace.
As you navigate the cyberpunk city of the future, you'll encounter familiar sights like bonfires straight out of Dark Souls and a robot host that wouldn't be out of place in a Portal game. But it's not all about games - Split Fiction also pays homage to movies like Star Wars and The Dark Knight Rises, with references that hit harder than a V8 engine roaring down the Mulsanne Straight. So buckle up, grab a cold one, and get ready for a gaming experience that's as exhilarating as a lap around the Top Gear test track.
