A Way Out Review
great
Come for the prison-break bromance, stay for the stomach-punching finale.

Summary
A Way Out is a co-op, split-screen only game uniquely tailored for two players to work together no matter the situation.
A Way Out News
Not as captivating as It Takes 2, it’s a strong coop experience nonetheless and as always there’s plenty of stuff to do, gameplay is quite alright, level design is pretty good. The scenario is a bit of a let-down, dialogs aren’t that well written. Character Design is visually awful lmao. OST isn’t memorable at all. Bought it when it was on sale and it was worth the few €s I spent. No replayability at all.
The story makes the top five of the game that i personally played the plot and the mechanism were innovational indeed but the split screen was to no good, i understand the developers intention to avoid a classic co-op campaign experience and make a false feeling of the other player experience but its just annoying, it limits your view and you would never get use to it (beside the fact that the game has only 7 hours of gameplay).
the mini-games and side objectives where mostly waste of time besides a few, i would prefer fewer side missions but with better mechanism design so you could actually enjoy the time you're spending off the main story.
the story as a hole was perfect but in details like certain short-term decisions wasn't logical, i don't get to the details but lets just say that the developers should have spent a little more time and care while plotting the game.
the physics and movement and the general mechanisms like driving and shooting isn't something to admire but acceptable for the purpose of this game.
I know it was intentional but i won't remain silent some missions were with out a doubt a COPY of the uncharted franchise
over all Great story, questionable choice of game-play contents and the split screen is just wrong at least make it optional
love the concept, some gameplay is really fun but the story is poorly written until the end.
The Way-Out is fine, but largely forgettable co-op game filled with many a cliche plot thread and uninspiring characters. The ending does provide some compelling moments that play well into such being co-op game, but the weight such carries is belittled due to the lack of care for these characters / story by this point of reaching the conclusion.
