    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.

    Sehr durchschnittliches Spiel mit höhen und Tiefen Jedoch wird die schlechte Grafik und das unkreative gameplay durch den spaß mit dem Spielpartner wieder gutgemacht

    -The mechanics are too shallow. They're not bad per se and everything works fine. Also, that's cool that the game rotates mechanics quite often. Still, in many places, the game felt like a simplified Uncharted clone, which took me out of it.    … Expand

    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    Great co-op shooter!

I treasure the times we had while playing this game and the tears we shared towards the end.

    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.

    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.

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.

    This is a good game but the mechanics which are mainly borrowed from the studio's previous title are getting old. Graphics are nice, the game is smooth, the story is cool, it is a fun coop game, I just think there were more potential things to do on the gameplay side of the game.

    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.

    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.

    Un gran juego que no esperaba tanto de él, pocos hay cooperativos en local, con una historia muy original y sorprendente, no esperaba ciertas cosas que ocurren.... un nivel facilito que te hace no perderte de la historia... me encantó!

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