    Definitely worth playing!

    PROS: * Great co-op, you need to work together on many levels, though sometimes it feels forced (why lift a fallen tree you should be able to jump over?) * We loved the split-screen solution, the way the player screens reshape or merge, for instance allowing one player to view a cinematic, and still leaving enough space for the other guy to do something in    Definitely worth playing!

    PROS:
    * Great co-op, you need to work together on many levels, though sometimes it feels forced (why lift a fallen tree you should be able to jump over?)
    * We loved the split-screen solution, the way the player screens reshape or merge, for instance allowing one player to view a cinematic, and still leaving enough space for the other guy to do something in the mean time.
    * Thrilling adventure. They chase you, you chase them, why not rob a gas station in the mean time...
    * Memorable, easily likeable main characters.
    * The game is not that expensive and you get a copy for your friend.

    CONS:
    * Some weird scene endings, that could have been better executed.
    * Takes about 6 hours to complete, and as for replay value:
    * Limited replayability. There is some, as you have to pick "Leo's way" or "Vincent's way" several times in the game. Enough to play one more time, at least for me.
    * I wish more choices on the way could influence the game ending.

    Hazelight, please do continue making games like this!    … Expand

    The best game for passing together. This is a whole story told to us about friendship, loyalty and family values. My friend and I went through it twice - each time for a different hero. That was great.

    Игра - шедевр, лучшая в жанре ко-оп за последние лет 5. Геймплей на сплитскрине вызывает только положительные эмоции, разве что я недоволен дартсом, где дротик летит ровно в цель. Ещё чуть смутила часть с перестрелками, где целиться с помощью геймпада вызывает трудности, так как сенса сильно уж велика. А в остальном игра очень хороша, особенно вызвала эмоции концовка.Игра - шедевр, лучшая в жанре ко-оп за последние лет 5.

    A Way Out is one of the most perfectly put together games I have ever had the joy of playing coop made for coop.

It has incredible variety of mechanics for a SHORT game. We felt very compelled to finish it in one setting.

    I dunno guys.. why doesn't it get 90? My GF and I have to give it 10 marks. Great job Hazelight.

    The only complaint the game deserves is that the themes are all very familiar and nothing new storyline wise...    … Expand

    There are too less good coop games out there with a good story. The game is only like 6 hours game play but the whole time exciting. I wish there where more time in the prison but that doesn't matter. Epic coop, slow motion scenes and a totally emotional ending. Gonna play it again with another friend.

    A Way Out has to be the best game I've played this year by far. The direction, mix of gameplay style, discovery with games within the game itself, homages and throwbacks, characters, settings, variety - and that ending jesus christ. I can't recommend it enough. The fact one person can buy it and the other person downloads the "game pass" from origin for free makes it even better.

Initially, the game positions itself as directed toward the plot. The gameplay in it is far from the main thing. The whole trick in the plot and the joint passage with a beloved friend whom you trust. Yes, the whole point of the game, the main theme is trust. And I assure you, they revealed this topic, albeit from an unexpected side for us. The sad side, unfortunately.

    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

It was like a medicine for me and my friend these days when it is hard to find coop games with solid stories. The only problem I had with it was that it could have been a little longer. But I won't break any score because of it. Magnificent game.… Expand

    If I had to describe "A wat out", I would say it is cinematographic adventure, with action and stealth, for exactly 2 players. And this is the most important thing about the game.

And this is the most important thing about the game. If you can't play with someone else, this game is not for you in the same way as if you don't like FPS, Doom is not for you.

    On the other hand, many people complain about the difficulty, saying that this is a very easy game. Yes, it is easy, you won't die too often, and when you do, it happens more because you dind't understand the situation rather than difficulty. But think about it: if you died more often, the story would advance too slow. And the story is one of the most important things here.

    The choices are not relevant for gameplay, but for the story the game is telling you. I will put an example: you can either threat someone or lie to get some information. Is it relevant? Well, it will tell you this story in different ways depending on your choice. It is not relevant in the same way as The Witcher 3, for example.

    The ending is absolutely mindblowing. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, you have to recognice is one of the best things we can see in videogames.

    The reason for not giving it the perfect score are the graphics. Overall, they are really nice, considering that the game was made by a little studio. And the graphics are not that important here, except for one thing that I missed: facial expressions. Someone might be laughing, screaming or just talking and they always have the same face. This puts me out of the context. Also, even though I speak, write and understand English, and the game has texts translated into Spanish, I would have enjoyed voices too, specially during the action parts of the game.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game, just bare these things in mind not to expect what the game is not.    … Expand

    I am not sure why people are so hard on this game. It is cheesy and dumb af, yes. But it is very well-polished and packed with action with varying game-play. It is a co-op only game, it doesn't really need to have an outstanding script and there hasn't really been anything like this for PC in many years. Great entertainment per dollar spent value. Especially given you only need one copy.

It's truly unique and I can't really name any games that come close to it. It shares some elements to other products like Telltale games and Life is Strange, but it completely takes its own liberties and makes something new. The split-screen feature adds so much. It's not just some feature they threw in, they built this game around it. Being able to see two different perspectives of one world really does change the way the game is played and experienced. Also, Vincent and Leo are very likable and even relatable characters. The story buildup is crazy, and leads up to one of the best endings I've ever seen in a video game.

    The game isn't perfect. There is quite a bit of jank in there, clearly from low budgets and it being from a small studio. But a lot of it adds to the charm, and doesn't hinder the experience. When you play this game you need to suspend your disbelief, and really engage yourself in this journey. If you can't do that, then it's not the game for you. Also make sure your co-op partner is the same way. This game is meant to be played and enjoyed by two friends. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME SINGLEPLAYER! The charm comes from experiencing it with a friend. So PLEASE take advantage of the Friend Pass and experience it the right way!

    I honestly can't believe that I didn't even pay for this game. I used the Friend Pass version to play with a friend who bought it. The fact that you can even do that is unheard of in today's video game environment, and I hope it inspires other companies to do similar things. It's so generous, and on top of that the game is only 30 dollars for what I would consider one of the best video game stories ever told. I'm going to go out and buy myself a personal copy of this game to put on my bookshelf, because the dev team behind this game truly put their hearts into it and they deserve success. I just hope this game gets the success that it deserves.

    Thank you for this great experience that I am still thinking about days after beating it.    … Expand

    This game isn't a technical marvel (maybe except how cool the camera works in some co-op scenes) and the graphics is not the most beautiful these days, with animations sometimes not being as smooth (mostly sneaking), but all of that is easily forgotten and looked past once you start playing.
    There are however pros which will make you enjoy the game a lot:
    - the game's really cheap: $30 for around 6-8 hours of gameplay is really fair IMHO
    - EA does not get any money, all of it goes to the developer
    - You only need to buy one copy of a game and your friend can join you to finish the whole story together, I think it's an incredibly generous move
    - both characters are way different from each other, you can pick the one you'd seem more fitting yourself with
    - writing is not exactly perfect, but the story is interesting and intriguing, I really like it how smooth the transitions are and how smart the story was told, switching between the different scenes was really thought through and made sense without breaking the immersion
    - because the characters are so different from each other, it creates a bunch of funny dialogues
    - gameplay wise there were many funny moments throughout the game just because of how fun the gameplay is, I don't remember playing a game with a smile on my face for the whole time
    - there's a huge variety of locations and tasks you'll be doing, they are simple for the most time (I'm around 3 hours in the game), but fun and rewarding once you pull them off
    - the amount of work they've put for creating different animations and assets for different scenes you'll only get to see one during your playthrough is really amazing and worth the appreciation
    - there's a bunch of different and fun interactions, simple games and challenges that you can participate in, but are completely optional and I think it's nice of them that decided to put their resources in adding that into the world
    - you can interact with NPCs and talk to them, usually, there's a few in each location (which makes sense of course, so you don't meet them in the forest for example), both Leo and Vincent have different dialogues and dialogue options, which is cool
    - Leo and Vincent approach different situations in their own way since Vincent is calm type of a guy, while Leo is more rough, which means some tasks can be completed slightly differently depending on who's taking action
    - there are moments where you get to make a decision and chose which path to take, which will make for a different path to your goal or the situation play out differently. From what I've seen it progresses the story in a certain way that doesn't change, but still, it's nice to have an option to take different paths
    I can't recommend the game enough, it's such a fun experience and a refreshment I really needed from all the cookie cutter games. Also, I believe that Josef Fares, his brother and the team behind the game really deserve the support, because you can see how passionate they are about what they're doing. It might not be the most impressive game technically, but it makes up with the amount of enjoyment from the gameplay it provides.
    Definitely recommending it!    … Expand

Price of the game is good due to the free friend pass and because of how short the campaign is. That brings me to the games downsides: length and some bugs. I would have loved for the game to be longer as its only a 6-hour campaign, but those 6 hours are action packed. I would have loved more time in the actual prison aswell rather than escaping fairly quickly. I definitely recommend this game - it lived up to the hype despite a short campaign IMO!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “A Way Out” was developed by Hazelight studios. This game was released on March 23rd, 2018 for Playstation, Xbox, and PC and quickly sold over a million copies within two weeks. It is actually the very first game created by Hazelight Studios! When you think of Hazelight Studios, you also think of “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons” but what most people don’t know is that “Brothers” wasn’t made by them. A lot of the developers from Hazelight were on the team of Starbreeze Studios and “Brothers”, while not under Hazelight’s name, had many of the people from there working on it.

    The game has overwhelmingly positive reviews ranging from 4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars by Microsoft! The graphics on it are very beautiful and cutting-edge. Everything looks as if it would be in real life, with no unrealistic proportions or sights that we do not see in our current world. You can hear birds chirping and turn to the direction of their sound and locate them, you can hear the leaves rustling under your feet as your walk over them and you can even hear, in very clear detail, how your feet walk while submerged in shallow water. To put it in simple terms, the game feels very real. Whenever you’re maneuvering the story, your characters never make any unrealistic moves, the game takes into account that they’re only human and won’t allow them to, for example jump really high or climb steep walls without outside assistance. The action also helps this point as not only the gunfights, but also the fist fights are not exaggerated in other games. While this isn’t supposed to be in the fighting game genre, it still has moments where the fighting done by the player and by quicktime events are super flashy, but once again, realistic. The gunfights feel smooth and the bullets function as they would in real life, not entirely hitscan but with a slight bit of travel time.

    The protagonists in the game are Vincent and Leo. Vincent is a former banker who got involved with organized crime and was arrested soon after for fraud, embezzlement, and a murder he didn't commit. He is calm and rational, and was just arrested at the start of the game. Leo is an experienced thief who went to jail for armed robbery, assault, and grand theft after a diamond heist went terribly wrong. He is confident and aggressive, and had been serving for six months already at the start of the game. These two are the main characters, but there are other important characters throughout the game such as Harvey, the antagonist in the game. Vincent and Leo actually formed their bond over their mutual hatred for Harvey in the beginning.The other characters aren’t especially important but add value for the two protagonists and help the players relate to them such as Leo and Vincent’s wives and their kids.
    “A Way Out” is both action and adventure as it has a plot that is filled with high-quality combat scenes. For instance, once you and your friend(other player) make it out of prison, you find an elderly couple and their house.You and your ally are still in prison clothes and stand out way to easily, so the game gives you a choice: Force the elderly couple to subdue to you or send their farm animals loose so you can go ahead and sneak in their house and steal things you need. Regardless of what option you choose, at the end of that specific chapter, the old man will come after you with a pistol and you and your ally use his truck to escape. Once you thought you were safe, police sirens start to go off and suddenly you’re surrounded by cops, this then continues into a high speed chase in which you must escape. This is just one example of how action is portrayed in the game. The adventure aspect of the game is pretty simple to explain as the entire premise of the game is to have both you and a friend escape from prison and venture through the story and world tracking down the one villain that framed you both and put you in jail. Throughout the story, we see aspects of adventure genres coming into play with one of them being character development. At the beginning, one of the protagonists, Leo, has intense distrust and doesn’t like anyone, including the other protagonist, Vincent. Through Vincent’s repeated help, Leo starts to warm up to him and reveals everything about his past, to which Vincent does the same.
    “A Way Out” has numerous amounts of cultural references. It has references to “The Legend of Zelda” when Vincent and Leo are breaking into a house and they find a hidden chest. Vincent walks up to it and pretends to rummage through it, eventually pulling out a toy sword and swinging it in the air as if he was Link finding a hidden item. All in all, “A Way Out” is a game that accomplishes many things that make it a great game: it encourages cooperation with someone who is sitting right next to you, it has many small, funny moments and engages the audience with a nice story that ends in an amazing way.    … Expand

    Zerei com minha namorada em algumas semanas - ela só vinha na minha casa dia de sabado, e nem sempre - e, mesmo assim, a historia se manteu fixa na minha cabeça, mesmo sendo "simples".

    A Way it is a cinematic adventure game that has to be played with 2 players.
    Either Couch Co Op or with an online friend,
    I ended up playing couch co op and found this to be the best option if its possible.
    if not, you can invinte any friend to play with you from start to finish even if they don’t have to game
    The forced co op is a bit of a draw back though, its hard to find someone willing to tolerate you and your hilarious jokes for a full 5 an a half hours that it takes to finish this game.
    I played the arrogant, cocky and short tempered leo and my partner played as the calm and in control Vincent.
    this game is basically the grown up version of the rugrats,
    you get your trusty screwdriver and as a team you have to find a way out of prison to go after a mutual enemy.
    this is a lot of one person distracting and finding a way to take guard attention from an area, while the other player inches closer to the target, coming up with clever ways to sneak tools back to your cell and look out for eachother while getting it done..
    This game doesn’t fully take place in prison though, youll find yourself on a farm as well as getting to know these characters and their families..
    making you care how the story plays out for each..
    there are moments of driving and third person shooting..
    the gameplay is constantly pulling the narrative forward..
    you never feel stuck or stagnant..
    constantly going..
    the 5 and a half hours flies by…
    And throughout the story there will be choices to make that are either more passive or more aggressive..
    choices that need to be agreed on by both players before you can move on..
    its tough to go into detail without spoiling, but I loved the journey this game took me on.. I loved the story and all of its twists..
    I loved not knowing where the game was going to take me next…
    this game shines during the moments where communication is necessary, where you have to use timing, hwere you have to watch for and distract guards while your partner gets to work…
    there really is no negative here other than again, this game has to be played with another person…
    you cant switch back and forth between controllers, there are moments here where that just wont work.
    This is a great game to sit down and spend some time with someone with
    especially if both of you can get lost in your characters.

    It is worth a shot on sale if you have a buddy who will play it with you. The fun is really with sharing both the good, and the bad parts of it (and laughing about them) with a friend.    … Expand

    I think it's really good game. Graphics are little bit older and not much good looking for this day. I hope these people make another game based on this type of gameplay.

    GOOD
    + Great music
    + Great Co-op
    + Perfect story
    + Different Gameplay
    + Good illustration
    + The presence of very good cinematic scenes
    + Acceptable Gunplay
    + Interesting mini games
    + Funny jokes of Leo and Vincent

    BAD
    - Ease of puzzles
    - Not so good voice acting
    - Visual graphics could be better

    Очень интересная и необычная игра. Очень удачная идея с полным кооперативом и неожиданная концовка. Жаль, что игра одноразовая, но пройдя её вы получите огромное количество удовольствия.

    Отличная игра для двоих. Графика конечно слабовато, но не режет глаза. Сюжет интересный, персонажи получились отличные, за них хочеться переживать. Концовка меня расстроила, надо было хотя бы 3 альтернативную добавить. Сам геймплей интересный, рассчитан над командую работу. Единственная игра для 2 которую я видел вообще. Рекомендую поиграть с другом за одним компом.Отличная игра для двоих. Графика конечно слабовато, но не режет глаза. Сюжет интересный, персонажи получились отличные, за них хочеться переживать.

    Un juego que esta optimizado pero con muchos problemas graficos, en mi caso, al momento de iniciar el juego desde origin tengo problemas con la interfaz grafica, parpadea con lineas verdes, la solucion por mi parte, es re configurar las opciones graficas a modo ventana, y luego cambiarla a pantalla completa, y funciona perfectamente.
    Por otro parte in game hay 3 momentos en donde se congela (breves 5 seg max) pero solucionable.
    Quitando estos detalles un juego muy bien optimizado.
    Una duracion de 6 horas, mi perfil es: jaga-9403, Me tarde eso ya que saque sus 2 posibles finales.
    Un apartado narrativo, que cumple con tus espectativas, con mucho suspenso.
    La banda sonora, no destaca por esta caracteristica muy pobre, pero se trata de un indie y no es su fortaleza.
    Jugabilidad estupenda, hay partes en las que se vuele un shooter, hace falta pulir esto en cuanto a la precision, hay escenas en donde conduces vehiculo, lo hace bien nada destacable pero muy entretenido.
    Y es que su jugabilidad es co op offline y online, me lo he pasado offline, y es un juegazo, se extrañaba la sensacion de coordinarte con tu compañero, muy disfrutable, decisiones que tomar en co op, es de ponerse de acuerdo, simplemente maravilloso a pesar de sus carencias.
    Es un videjuego rejugable, y con la maravillosa opcion de tu elegir que captirulos quieres rejugar y cambiar esas opciones que afectan la experiencia de juego.
    Desde mi punto de vista, si tu alguna vez has jugado los videojuegos de telltale games, A way out, es mucho mejor que estos titulos, creo que A way out es una evolucion del genero novela grafica.
    Un juego que lo recomiendo al 100% si tienes un amigo con quien pasartelo, te traera recuerdos.
    Yo lo compre en $27 de salida, y valio la pena, espero re jugar por completo el titulo esta vez con un amigo on line.

    Fun game to play with a friend (especially drunk). We loved the mini games and the story....until the ending. What the hell were they thinking that did not make any sense and we were shaking our heads in disbelief. Graphics and voice acting were nothing to write about, dialogue felt a bit stiff.

    On another note : We need more games like this, real cooperative games with a story.

You can take to the sale for the passage of a friend, for the full price is definitely not worth it. In short, 8 out of 10 black policemen.

    Интересный сюжет, множество мини-игр (борьба на руках, игра в баскетбол и т.д.), можно пойти пару раз с другом, стрельба достаточно приятная. Но вот толерастия немного портит игру т.к. это так заметно с первых минут, что все чернокожие и женщины обязательно полицейские (т.е. положительные персонажи), а все белые мужчины подонки и преступники. Можно взять на распродаже для прохождения другом, за фул прайс точно не стоит. Короче 8 чернокожих полицейских из 10.    … Expand

    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]

    Thanks to its purely co-op gameplay, A Way Out is a beautiful experience, which heavily involves both players throughout the adventure.

    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]
