    This title will vary based on your coop partner. Assuming this isn't a problem, you should have a good time. The story was the highlight for me. It reminds me of an action movie meets crime drama.

    I appreciate what it offered and brought to the often-overlooked couch co-op game genre, but looking back, it is so incredibly bland. Especially when compared to the studio's next game. I realize that's unfair, but it's impossible not to. If this laid the foundation for what they delivered with It Takes Two, then I will always have a deep appreciation for it.

    While the gameplay, dialogue, and plot could have benefited from further refinement, this game offers a distinctive and quite enjoyable experience specifically designed for those who appreciate couch co-op gaming.

    Grafica e meccaniche di gioco sufficienti, trama abbastanza interessante con qualche colpo di scena.
    Gioco simpatico da fare obbligatoriamente in 2, quindi un punto in più per l'originalità.

    Cheesy yet entertaining action co-op. A Way Out is a very over the top cinematic experience with some light minigames scattered throughout. There's walking and talking, simple puzzles, QTEs, shooting and driving. It's a fun bromance, but just like with It Takes Two (2021) and Brothers (2013) I have issues with director/writer Fares's writing.

    This is a good coperative game, sometimes at the beginning it was a little boring or there were places in the game where you didn't know what to do and the game didn't react in any way.And so a very interesting game for two people

    Es un juego disfrutable ya que no hay gran catálogo de juegos de multijugador local enfocados una historia, pero es demasiado predecible; llega a ser la típica película de venganza en la que además ocurren cosas sin sentido por el "bien" de la trama jaja, y no es algo que ocurra una sola vez.

Un objetivo sin gran peso que no te hace sentir mucho porque no te lo hacen sentir. También es bastante corto, a pesar del relleno al interactuar en la mayoría de zonas, y creo que pudieron darle un poco mas de dificultad y libertad en las partes de acción y sigilo. Como dije, es disfrutable a buen precio y cualquiera lo puede jugar porque no se enfoca en la dificultad, sino en el trabajo en equipo. Acerca del final, pudo haber mas opciones.… Expand

    Quite a good game all together, but the ending really screwed me. It took all the joy I had with the game away again, even if I had thought that to be possible. Up until the last chapter it was a nice game, nothing too special, but good fun with a friend.

    5/10. Хз, наверное после прохождения it takes two, мне эта игра кажется совсем вялой, мало геймплея, тем более действий направленных на командное решение. Сюжет прикольный, герои +- притягательные. В игре удивила стрельба, не знаю чем она берёт, но на консоли было стрелять довольно таки приятно, учитывая то что я ненавижу стрелять на геймпаде5/10.

    Pros:
    - Fairly good graphics
    - Playing coop with my friend made it much more fun
    - Its adequetly long
    Cons:
    - The gameplay is boring in certain parts of the game
    - The story offers nothing extra

    Its available in EA Play, or get it on discount. However don't expect much from it.

    Концовка игры - полный бред, ну и графика могла бы быть лучше. Во всем остальном игра прекрасно развлечет вас и вашего товарища. Один раз, реиграбельность ниже нуля. С удовольствием сыграл бы что-нибудь еще в этом роде.

    Pretty enjoyable co op experience but some things felt lazy. The prison section of the game loves taking moments from other films, to the point where the game just lifts sections from shawshank redemption (prisoner asks the warden when visiting times are and the grumpy head guard smacks him in the stomach, calling him a maggot that will speak when spoken to, also the scene where andyPretty enjoyable co op experience but some things felt lazy.

These are fantastic films so its not the worst thing in the world being able to play these sections, just feels like ive experienced this before. Its also more of a film then a game, majorirty of the time theres no gameplay other then walk down this corridor and interact with an object. Final complaint but thres a section in the game where one of the main characters persuades his pregnant wife to give him another chance despite being a prisoner on the run. She reasonably says i dont know, that doesnt seem like a great idea. From that point until the end if the scene, the character just repeatedly says to every reasonable point she brings up "you have to trust me" and it just comes off like the writer had no clue how to make this seem realistic. Other then that there are so funny moments of dialogue between characters, some of the scripted sections are fun and im a fan of the game basically having no shooting gameplay. It's an experience first ajd foremost and a game at a very distant second. I supoose in that sense as a co op game its very innobative, just a shame the game doesnt try to do more. Love to see what the developer does next.… Expand

    Es uno de los mejores juegos coop de historia que he jugado, le pongo un 7 porque la historia y la jugabilidad me ha gustado mucho aunque el juego es un poco corto está genial y poder ver ambos puntos de vista de la historia a la vez es muy original.

    It was a really nice and new experience. I played this game with my girlfriend and we had a blast. The game was fun and the way they made it come together was amazing. Gameplay is a bit lumpy and it was noticable that the studio did this for the first time. The story had some real unexpected elements. It is also a game you won’t play more than once. After all just fun :)

    В этой игре вас ожидает выполнение разнообразных задач вдвоём с напарником, перестрелки, погони и мини-игры, в том числе настолки.
    Порой возникает ощущение, что запустил Uncharted на минималках, так как есть несколько уровней очень похожих на четвёртую часть, только исполненных не настолько эпично и красиво, но это нормально, так как игра стоит не 4к и к тому же на двоих - за такое можно многое простить!

    Всем рекомендую, 7-8 часов удовольствия вам с другом гарантировано… для игры по интернету не надо покупать вторую копию - достаточно выслать гостевое приглашение... и это хорошо:)    … Expand

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

    We need more games like A Way Out. Josef Fares’ new title is not only one of the best interactive movies ever made, it also understands and executes co-op exceptionally well and shows how much potential lies in the AA segment. [05/2018, p.53]

    With attention to detail within every nook and cranny, watching how their two stories diverge and converge at integral moments of the game is a fascinating experience that needs to be played through twice. Playing as both Leo and Vince will offer two unique story paths, as they both have different roles in solving puzzles, while narrative-forks provide a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure element to the story.
