    Split Fiction is so cinematic and even wackier than ITT. I’m hopeful that it’ll have a way better plot conclusion, too, which was one of ITT’s weakest points.

        Actually, I think Hazelight’s greatest strength by far is presentation/artwork, especially the environment. One of my friends didn’t bother to continue with ITT because the platforming was too basic for him. It kinda feels a little like these games pander to casual gamers quite a fair bit. Like, it’s cool that if one person stays alive, the game keeps rolling on, but the short-term, Zelda-like micro-puzzles in which only concepts sometimes carry over at most from room to room make its gameplay too easy, I think. They could have done more with the
