    Very unique game. My brother and I really enjoyed it. It's a little bit more guided than I would like. I mean, in most cases, you have to figure out exactly what they want you to do. Overall very cinematic and interesting game for co-op two player.

    I will not particularly grovel, a game with a well-developed plot, with an unexpected turn, sometimes with very dynamic scenes, it will be normal to play with a brawler, but it takes only 6 hours to pass, so the score is 8

    Мне игра понравилась, но обязательное присутствие второго игрока не понравится людям у которых этого друга не нашлось.
    К покупке могу порекомендовать людям у которых есть второй друг для совместного прохождения.

    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 gameplay é muito divertida, muito por conta de que seu parceiro não deve ter um bom conhecimento sobre games pra aproveitá-la quando você.

    Os graficos são bem bonitos, o jogo é bem otimizado e possui um fov excelente. Cara, nem parece um jogo da EA.

    E um ultimo adendo sobre a historia, como eu sabia que haviam dois finais, não cheguei a me emocionar, de fato - e eu sou bem chorão quando se trata de ficção... Mas minha namorada não se conteve e chorou que nem uma bebezinha. E de fato, o final no qual Vicent morre é pesadissimo quanto ao drama. Enfim, recomento a todos que joguem!    … Expand

    It's an ok game.

    Pros.:
    - The story is touching.
    - Using a controller is neat.
    - Some decision-making.
    - The game blends multiple previous gaming experiences: Just Cause, Uncharted, GTA, etc.

    Cons.:
    - They artificially extended the game (to create more sympathy with the characters).
    - Decision-making is actually less effective as you think.
    - Ending - should have made more options.

    Un buen juego. Una historia única que te mantiene atento en todo momento y mecánicas muy atractivas y novedosas. Tal vez peca por la poca duración, pero prefiero que sea corta y entretenida a que sea larga y aburrida.

    It's a great action-adventure game plus It's a Co-Op game! In the couch market we are in need of games like this one. It a great experience with a friend but the game Itself fails to deliver in It's story.

    The game suggests you an incredible co-op mode. It was brilliant experience. It's the best game for passing together. This is a whole story told to us about friendship, loyalty, family values, team work and betrayal.
    Excluding the unpleasant ending, generally it was a really good game. The graphics, environment, gameplay was really good.

    I liked the game. The game has many advantages, but there are also quite a few disadvantages. On the downside, I'll take it: bad animation of movements and facial expressions, sometimes a rather naive plot. The pluses include: a variety of gameplay and a good ending.
    And the main plus of this game, of course, is the passage of two, in front of one screen.

    Such an incredibly charming, cheesy, yet emotional game. While the actual gameplay ranges from "pretty decent" to "underwhelming", the craft on display by Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios makes for an incredibly immersive, well-directed cinematic experience, with special mentions going to the incredibly smooth transitions from scene to scene, owing to Fares' background as a film director.Such an incredibly charming, cheesy, yet emotional game. While the actual gameplay ranges from "pretty decent" to "underwhelming", the craft on display by Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios makes for an incredibly immersive, well-directed cinematic experience, with special mentions going to the incredibly smooth transitions from scene to scene, owing to Fares' background as a film director. Homages and references to classic movies are strewn about, always adding to the fun cheesiness factor of the game - the Scarface-esque mansion at the end or the Oldboy sequence in the Hospital stand out to me for making me grin and giggle with my buddy in excitement, and that's what A Way Out is really good at - making you have fun with a good buddy - be it a round of Connect 4, a jam session on the piano and banjo, or just chucking horseshoes at a barn, the game shows this friendly-buddy dynamic between the two main characters so incredibly well, making the ending that much more impactful.

    Of course, if you're looking for a co-op game with intense gameplay, A Way Out isn't quite the thing you're looking for, and not playing couch co-op/a good friend will definitely be a detracting factor as well, but this game was some of the most fun I've had for an afternoon or two. Hopefully Josef Fares will be making more co-op experiences in the future!    … Expand

    Great Game, especially in this short time. You got QuickTime-events, sneak-missions, Gunplay and amazing story with unexpected end. It's not only a prison break, it's a really good friendship. One Detail I really loved are the smartly build in the levels minigames all around the story.

In addition he has a lot of focus on storytelling. It is a very interesting cooperative experience. It's a game from the same creators as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

    The story of the game starts out a little strange, you don't understand until after a while that the plane scene is in the future and they didn't know each other until the first meeting. The story is very simple and cliché in general but it keeps you entertained and wanting to see more, which is good. The plot twist at the end is really good, but I thought there was a lack of forshadowing from him (some 'tips' from him before), except that he makes you feel a little bad. The 2 finals of the game I didn't like so much but this is something personal, because in technical matters he is very good (direction, gameplay and script).

    For the time of the game the protagonists are quite deep, they did a good job with the assistants too.

    Gameplay. The action is good and the controls are very interesting. Decisions that affect 'missions' are pretty cool. I just found the puzzles (the focus of gameplay) too easy and simple. In Brothers, the difficulty of this item was much greater in general. The minigames are cool.

    The soundtrack does not add so much, except for one moment in the end of the game, that it is really good.    … Expand

    Gameplay: Hay que destacar mucho esto porque me encantaría ver juegos mas de este estilo. Se trata de una campaña de 2 protagonistas principales, la cual uno lo controlas tú y otro tu amigo. Algo que no me gusto fueron las escenas de tiroteo, es muy complicado apuntar y es gracioso que las balas sean infinitas. La pantalla esta partida, uno para cada jugador y es buenisimo como puedes interactuar con muchísimas cosas del entorno, hay varios minijuegos que son super simples y básicos pero son increibles, me la pase bastante tiempo jugando con mi amigo. 10/10

    Historia: Es muy buena, se trata de 2 prisioneros en la cual se la rebuscan para poder escapar y lograr su misión de venganza. No es muy atrapante ya que lamentablemente es un juego corto, no más de 10 horas, me hubiera gustado que sea más largo. 9/10

    Graficos: Los graficos son buenos, tiene el efecto como si fuera una película pero lamentablemente no es inmersivo, estaria bueno que esté más desarrollado el movimiento facial de los personajes. 8/10

    Sonido: 5/10

    No tiene DLCs ni ningún contenido extra, raro de ver en EA

    En conclusión, recomiendo absolutamente A Way Out, es una experiencia única para jugar con un amigo, es un juego económico y más si pagan mitad y mitad con un amigo.    … 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]

    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]
