A Way Out review
Exceptional
by Anton

So we just beat this one with a friend of mine, and I can say that it's one of the best story-focused games I've played so far.

If you need a good reference point for this one - you can look at David Cage's games (e.g., Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls). The core gameplay is mostly QTE and minigames, with some dialogue here and there and a couple of possible story branches. But since this game is aimed to be played together with a different person - that changes everything.

Every time you do something together - it feels incredible. In the Prison chapters especially. All of those moments when one of you distracts a guard, while the other one does something sketchy - feel so good.

The game is also filled with different references and easter eggs from things like "Shawshank Redemption", "Scarface" and many others. And they are not as blunt as "here, look, this is a reference", but they all feel very natural and fit in the world quite well.

Anyways, if you have someone to play this game with - you should pick it up 👌

Completed as of writing this review: Base Game.

If you have a friend, this game is not bad for evening or two. To be honest it has a lot of automated sections, but it can still be fun nonetheless.

It's fun. Controls are far from perfect, but tolerable. Could be more challenging.
i played with my cousin and i had fun so it's a 10/10 for me

Great game from that guy who said ''Fuck the Oscars'' A Way Out is truly a lovable co op adventure...
I love Josef Fares's passion towards the Co-Op side of the game, his enthusiasm, how much he cares about having an experience like no other.

The story is great too, and it actually managed to make me care about Leo and Vincent, and it made me actually care when *that* happened. The graphics are beautiful, the story is insane, Josef... Your game is not shit my friend!

and being able to play for free if one person owns it is brilliant! Defiantly recommend

Cool level design, innovative co-op interaction, and horrible pacing.

Excellent game with an excellent story and decent gameplay. It is unique in the sense that you can't play it alone, but only with a friend.
