    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Surpreendente!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

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. A bad end (not in terms of quality) can ruin the impression, but this is the logical and final conclusion to the story. It should be so. In the end, it’s useful to cry sometimes :)))… Expand

    A solid nostalgic experience for every male in their late forties that can't forget that chirstmas evening in Nakatomi Plaza.

    I can easily say that this game is the best co-op game in the world. The game affects you emotionally and you almost feel that you are one with the characters you choose. Maybe you can even cry with your friend at the end of the game.

    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.

    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.

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

The optional activities available between objectives are incredibly enjoyable, ranging from fun and funny to downright weird.

    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).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to play with my boyfriend after getting a great experience playing with the same studio game, It Takes Two. But how disappointed I was with this game. It's not good at all. Lots of bugs, formulaic character behaviour, predictable events, completely uninteresting interaction primitive. Pick something up, give something away. We literally forced ourselves to go through the game, but it's a good thing it's short. We were counting on a cool story and ending at least. But the developers just kill an already boring and dull game with an even more stupid ending. The developer makes an executioner out of the player making the ending brutal anyway. It's just inhuman and not what I was going to get out of the game. Okay if it was justified by the story, but it's not even justified by the story in any way. It's a complete failure.… Expand

    SUCKS ASS. DO NOT PLAY.

    Graphics are meh, but the story was written by a 14 year old wattpad user who came up with the most cliche plot twist that ruined the whole story. The start is kind of interesting, but from the minute 5 it goes downhill. Characters are boring, Vincent is as exiting as a cold, bland bowl of oatmeal, and the voice acting doesn't help. Dialogues are just awkard,    SUCKS ASS. DO NOT PLAY.

    Mechanics are wonky, specially when shooting or simply using a flashlight, and the game only allows you to move like a **** handicapped manechin. Also, you wont need to replay levels, because you LITERALLY CAN'T DIE. It doesn't matter that the bad guys are BLASTING you with cannons, you can just keep riding your bike and chilling while admiring the views.

While the ideas are generally not bad, they are just not implemented in a very challenging way. The game looks fine and the performance is good with the exception that it kept crashing on startup. I found a fix for that online but that was unnecessarily annoying. Also, the game is very short, my friend and I completed it in less than six hours.
    Overall A Way Out is fun to play with a friend as long as you don't mind unspectacular gameplay and many cutscenes. In that case, I would recommend this game with just one exception. The free friend's pass is great but the game is still far away from being worth 30€. I picked it up for 8€ and I wouldn't pay much more.

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.

    Механик в игре не очень много, но есть одна невероятно ужасно выполненная - стрельба, на геймпаде аим ассист через раз работает и ты практически вслепую стреляешь, так же в игре есть момент перестрелки между главным персонажами и если один из вас на мышке, а второй на геймпаде, то второму человеку можно в принципе забыть о победе в этой дуэли.

    Коммуникация между персонажами выполнена в принципе неплохо, нет никаких закрепленных ролей за персонажами, поэтому вы на ходу можете решать кто чем будем заниматься: к примеру один будет отвлекать охранника, а второй красть отвертку и т.п. ситуации.

    For me, this wasn't a mind-blowing experience. But it slowly makes you become attached to its characters and their stories. And that's where I think this game shines. It will probably not be the best game you played or the most brilliantly executed, but you might leave with a fun and memorable experience.
