    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

    Good game. A rollercoaster of emotions. Grab it on sale with a friend. In 2020 both friends have to own the game

    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.

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

    Do you know this joke about two chairs, a cake and a penis? Lemme tell you, it is of substance. "There are two chairs. On one there is a pie. On the other, a dick. You have to sit on one, and eat the other. Which do you choose?” This is exactly the choice this game forces you to make. And when you ask "why the h

    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

    This is not a serious emotional game and if you keep your expectations in check this is a great game to play with someone close to you. The first 2 chapter I expected an emotional narrative akin to telltale and that kinda bummed us out.

    Definitely a good CO-OP game, everyone looking for CO-OP should play it. The end was unexpected and very dramatic. The only thing that I would change is adding more shooting scenes

    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.

    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]
