    I wouldn't say his story is boring if he didn't have a different story. If you want to play a game with a story with your friend, you don't have much choice anyway. If you are looking for a game to play with your friend, you should definitely try it.

    Let's be honest. The game has a rather weak ending. But still, this is a very exciting cooperative game. She is interesting. It is openly not afraid of foul language, nudity. Pretty interesting quests. Feel free to put 8.

    Without a doubt, one of my most genuine 10/10 ratings. For a dumpster fire of a gaming company, this was a masterpiece from start to finish

    Это игра далеко не шедевр , графика , физика, стрельба, механики — все устаревшее. Но сюжет. Это что-то невероятное. На протяжении всей игры меня ничего не захватывало, но конец , последний час игры— это шедевр. Советую к прохождению 100%( но учитывайте ,что игра не особо большая ,часиков 8-10(Это игра далеко не шедевр , графика , физика, стрельба, механики — все устаревшее. Но сюжет. Это что-то невероятное.

    Great co-op shooter! We went through it with a friend just drunk, it was a great adventure. The variety of levels, attention to detail, different mini-games, and good direction (almost always) make this game one of the best co-op shooters ever.

    The only drawback is, perhaps, some jambs in the plot (that famous Schroddinger pistol), and of course two endings, both equally bad. It was

I treasure the times we had while playing this game and the tears we shared towards the end. I love how you really, REALLY don’t have any option to save your friend because it hurts, and i’m a masochist. Expand

    É a definição do que é um jogo cooperativo, sempre inovando na jogabilidade e com uma história de sessão da tarde no melhor sentido. Sim a gameplay não é perfeita, tem alguns bugs e é travada, mas não chegou a atrapalhar e serviu pra dar umas risadas.

    Expected a short prison-escape game, but it become a much more, and deep.
    But it should have had options at the end, I did not like the pre-scripted inevitable ending of the story.
    On Xbox Series S the framerate was not stable, often it was 30 fps, then sometimes 60 fps.

    Total refreshment. There aren’t many co-op games. This is one of them. Great for playing with a friend, sister, brother ... Praise for EA for giving a free version for another player. The story is a classic prison escape, with a great dose of action and excitement.
    SRB: Totalno osveženje. Ne postoji mnogo co-op igara. Ova je jedna od njih. Odlična za igranje sa prijateljem,

    Magnifique jeu que j'ai fait avec mon fils. L'histoire est prenante avec une fin pleine de surprises. Les phases de jeu sont parfaitement pensées. On regrette juste de ne pas pouvoir choisir sa fin....

    Nice gaming experience for two. All mechanics except shooting are well done. The game knows how to put in interesting situations. Deservedly eight. The graphics are of course such themselves. But, this is a movie. Loved it in playthroughs with a friend on Xbox Series S.

    A Way Out it's literally a way out of the common games nowadays. Rescuing the co-op local, the title offers a good history with a great mechanic of "help each other" to succeed on the levels, besides the fun of the past, where we sat on the sofa and play very fun games with our friends and family.

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

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