    An amazing co-op experience with a very cool story, if you have a friend to play with just get it, is soo **** cool.
    You can finish it in an entire sitting during the afternoon.

    It's a good game with a good soundtrack and a fantastic gameplay for co-op. I recommend it with an open heart. All respects for developers.

    A way out, one of the best coop games I've ever played. I loved the narrative, the music, the graphics and the final plot twist were the best.

    One aspect to improve is all the mini-games that appear when you have an urgency and you have to run or be quiet. This in my opinion breaks the immersion of the game, but could be fun if the minigames appear in the safe zones. On the other    A way out, one of the best coop games I've ever played.

    On the other hand, I've only played local coop, and I can't speak for the people that played onlie.

    With that said, this game offers you a good story with followed with lovely audio and visuals, If you like to follow a lineal game with a little bit of emergent gameplay and alternative finals, a way out is your game.    … Expand

    I never used to enjoy split-screen gameplay, but "A Way Out" changed that for me. It was my first experience with it.

    In terms of gameplay, "A Way Out" is awesome! I had a lot of fun playing it with my friend and we shared many laughs. The optional activities available between objectives are incredibly enjoyable, ranging from fun and funny to downright weird. These aspects contribute to the game's awesomeness. The game's concept is really great, and so are the dialogues, movement, and other gameplay elements. They aren't mind-blowing, but they do a good job of keeping you entertained.

    The story of the game is truly compelling. As a fan of story-driven games, I appreciated the cinematic quality of "A Way Out." It felt like playing through a movie with an excellent storyline. The bond between the two main characters is strongly developed, creating a deep connection. I did have some issues with the main antagonist's story and its lack of development, but aside from that, there's little else to criticize. The ending left me satisfied, evoking a mix of sadness and feelings for the main characters. Despite laughing throughout the game with my friend (if you're not, you're doing something wrong), I still managed to feel for the characters. However, this emotional connection might not be as strong as it would be in a single-player experience, which offers deeper immersion in a video game.

    The voice acting was also outstanding. I loved the voices of both main characters, though Vincent's voice was by far the most impressive due to its depth.

    I hosted the game using Remote Play Together from start to finish. I'm not sure if this caused the issue, but I experienced occasional tiny stutters, like frames skipping, throughout the game. While not game-breaking, it did affect immersion. I want to mention that my friend, who played via Remote Play Together, occasionally saw the game pixelated or blurred, though this wasn't a frequent occurrence, and might also be related to our internet connection rather than the Remote Play Together feature. I was impressed, however, when my friend mentioned experiencing no noticeable delay. To clarify, this isn't a Remote Play Together review, but I wanted to share my experience using it in this game. You can also play without Remote Play Together, either online or locally on the couch. Playing with someone on the couch seems to be the optimal way to experience the game.

    In summary, "A Way Out" is an excellent game to enjoy with a partner (indeed, that's the only way). It offers a lot of fun, laughter, engaging co-op gameplay, and a well-crafted, intriguing story. If you're seeking this kind of experience, "A Way Out" fits the bill.    … Expand

    In A Way Out kommt alles auf Zusammenarbeit und Kommunikation zwischen den Spielenden an. Die Möglichkeiten des Ko-op Gamedesign werden hier bis auf das Letzte ausgeschöpft. Darunter leidet jedoch etwas die Geschichte, in der eine besondere erzählerische Tiefe zu wünschen übrig bleibt (8/10).

    The game offers you what most of the games could not, a great story and a great ending of that great story. The game is a co op based game and it seems that developers did a great job while developing the episodes. before starting the missions always put you two in a area where you can relax and play some challanges with your mate. Unlike other open world games, this game has no big places. And thanks to this the map the game gives us a great good looking and living world. Thanks to the optional challenges, the pleasure which you get from the game becomes better.

    And game gave us an unexpected and emotional ending which may be the most important reason why you should buy this game.

    One of the best co-op experiences! A beautiful story of 2 people, story that will keep you on your feet, it will make you experience happiness and sadness, laugh and tears and most importantly brotherhood and heartbreak. While the game isn't that big, it's still enough to make you feel like you are on emotional roller coaster.

    An adventure game with an original idea that is diminished by shorter game time, a slightly repetitive gameplay, lower difficulty and a gradual diversion towards action. [Issue#285]

    Hazelight’s interactive movie sets a new standard for co-op games. It’s varied, thrilling, very pretty and enjoyable for both hardcore and casual gamers. It evokes tons of positive emotions and I can’t remember last time an action game moved me so much. [05/2018, p.50]
