    I think it's a great game, with a great story, great level design and gameplay that's different from other games. I played it locally with a friend and we had a great time.

    Wow was this game a lot of fun. exciting and interesting story, shallow yet fun gameplay, and a complete game. I think A way out has started something we,ve never seen before in gaming.

    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.

    There are huge problems with realism in the game. The game makers did not pay any attention to the end of the game. they almost never delivered a story with so much potential. The story part is subjective, but the realism part of the game is definitely lacking. Not all police and mafia can be like this. Also, this ending doesn't suit this game.

    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.

    This game is really fun, the story is **** bozo crap but its kinda funny and i like goofy stuff sometimes, especially since im plaing it with friends, the level design can be pretty generic but pretty **** good sometiems, that chase sequence is still one of the best in a video game ever. Its fun it looks nice, the actors are doing their best. Its just nice its got a lot of soul

    When my friend and I started playing this game, we went in thinking it's just a breaking out of jail puzzle game. The more we played, we realized that this game had so much to offer, with elements from many game genres! The ending is quite emotional and I would personally not recommend couples playing 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.

    If you have a friend to play local coop with this game is an absolute blast. I usually only play single player games out of preference however I had such a good time with A Way Out. It borrows a lot of gameplay elements from other games of different genres but they are used effectively here. It's not too long either so it never feels stale. Would recommend.

    My only issue with the game was that it wasn't longer. Almost perfect, like a very solid episode of your favourite show. You don't know what it's missing, but you know it's missing something.

    Pésimas mecánicas de gun play y de conducción, te hace definir quién "gana" o "pierde" el juego desde una mecánica poca clara. De las peores experiencias jugables narrativas que he tenido en el último tiempo, NO LO RECOMIENDO.

    The idea behind the game itself is great. Something new and refreshing, exactly what the game industry needs from time to time. It feels like a story driven co-op movie. Gameplay wise it's nothing spectacular or never seen before. But it has it's own charme, and you feel the love and affection the developers put in their game.

    A good game to keep this type of game evolving. The results are good and look promising for the future of this type of game.

    Great game, a straight forward short story, but the online/local co-op is the cherry on top that makes this game so much fun playing it.

    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.

    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.
