    Short game and not fun at all. Playing online is impossible because of constant connection failure. Complete the game once and no scope in playing again.

    I have had such a bad experience with this game. The menu is awful and hard to use. When I choose between single play or invite players i cant. Mouse wont work and no keys will either. Such a bad game. If anyone knows why this is I need some help. I rebooted and repaired the game but i still cant select an option.

    Жаль потраченного времени. Игра, в которой создана иллюзия, будто от тебя что-то зависит. На деле, задумано только так, что нужно выбирать пути, которых можно было бы избежать. Сюжет не затягивает... Если вы думаете начинать играть в нее - не рекомендую.Жаль потраченного времени. Игра, в которой создана иллюзия, будто от тебя что-то зависит.

    Absolutely horrible game all around. Shallow, dumb characters. Nobody acts like a real human being would. Dumb plot, very predictable, somehow tries to copy Shawshank in the beginning and Scarface near the end, both points in game are terrible. Gameplay is dull, especially when only one character can do something. it was unbelievably clunky throughout every aspect, everything was so basicAbsolutely horrible game all around. Shallow, dumb characters. Nobody acts like a real human being would. Dumb plot, very predictable, somehow tries to copy Shawshank in the beginning and Scarface near the end, both points in game are terrible. Gameplay is dull, especially when only one character can do something. it was unbelievably clunky throughout every aspect, everything was so basic and boring. The shooting part was completely let down by the fact that there's only 4 gun choices. The gun dealer made absolutely no sense, terrible character. As a matter of fact, everyone was a terrible character. Not a single likeable person. All the dialogue and one liners are devoid of any personality or originality, voice acting was terrible and as bad as laugable. Only played through the game because I could play it with my girlfriend. The only two good things were the co-op support and the twist at the end. Good twist. Still terrible story. Everyone invovled in making this game should be ashamed, because they could've done a much, much better job, and it's unfortunate that they took a good idea and reduced it down to this drivel.
    I literally made an account to leave this review, I was so upset at how bad this game was.

    P.S. Why did Leo's character always sound like he had a stuffed nose or something? His voice was just terrible.    … Expand

    Not bad, not good. Did not satisfy my expectations.The controls and mechanics are not modern at all, it's simply a made and published game.
    Also story is awful af.

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

    Makes co-op gameplay more worthwhile than anything else before it. [May 2018, p.84]

    A game that never quite finds a level of consistency to fully engage you. [June 2018, p.114]
