    In the end, A Way Out is without a doubt the most satisfying coop experience I’ve ever had. It’s a superb experience made from the ground up to be purely cooperative, and it creates a unique sinergy that even coop classics like Left 4 Dead can’t come close to achieving. The truth is, A Way Out not only holds itself alongside the best coop titles out there – it surpasses them.

    A Way Out mixes the cinema and video game languages in a tale about two strangers that must break out of prison. Cooperation between these two characters and the players are essential, with a powerful dramatic sense.

    Hazelight’s interactive movie sets a new standard for co-op games. It’s varied, thrilling, very pretty and enjoyable for both hardcore and casual gamers. It evokes tons of positive emotions and I can’t remember last time an action game moved me so much. [05/2018, p.50]

    A Way Out hits the heart of thriller fans and combines an intricate gangster story with simple co-op gameplay that welds gamers together.

    While it's not as memorable as it could have been, we had a good time playing A Way Out. Clever co-op mechanics and a novel presentation are diminished by an underwhelming plot and rather shallow gameplay.

    Messy, varied and inadvertently hilarious: A Way Out is an unusual but uneven tandem ride.

    It was a beautiful aspiration: to make a co-op game that encourages people to work together by means of original gameplay. But in the end, the manner in which A Way Out is played is seldom original and it's written like a poor action movie out of the 90's.

    A Way Out has to be the best game I've played this year by far. The direction, mix of gameplay style, discovery with games within the gameA Way Out has to be the best game I've played this year by far. The direction, mix of gameplay style, discovery with games within the game itself, homages and throwbacks, characters, settings, variety - and that ending jesus christ. I can't recommend it enough. The fact one person can buy it and the other person downloads the "game pass" from origin for free makes it even better.

    What a journey. First time I've played a game for 6-7hrs straight (apart from a 30-40 min break for dinner).

    Some of the sweeping camera moves was just mindblowing, some reminded me of david fincher. Can't recommend it enough. 2 friends will have a blast with it.    … Expand

Геймплей на сплитскрине вызывает только положительные эмоции, разве что я недоволен дартсом, где дротик летит ровно в цель. Ещё чуть смутила часть с перестрелками, где целиться с помощью геймпада вызывает трудности, так как сенса сильно уж велика. А в остальном игра очень хороша, особенно вызвала эмоции концовка.… Expand

    Отличная игра для двоих. Графика конечно слабовато, но не режет глаза. Сюжет интересный, персонажи получились отличные, за них хочетьсяОтличная игра для двоих. Графика конечно слабовато, но не режет глаза. Сюжет интересный, персонажи получились отличные, за них хочеться переживать. Концовка меня расстроила, надо было хотя бы 3 альтернативную добавить. Сам геймплей интересный, рассчитан над командую работу. Единственная игра для 2 которую я видел вообще. Рекомендую поиграть с другом за одним компом.… Expand
