- Even all these years later, A Way Out is still a fun experience, especially on the PS5 4 Prison Break A Way Out was originally released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018 but today we’re checking it out on the PlayStation 5 and even today, it offers a unique and engaging cooperative…
- 8.0Despite these minor flaws, though, it must be mentioned that A Way Out ran incredibly well throughout the entire journey we undertook with it. Both my co-op partner and I have serviceable internet connections, with neither of us experiencing even one instance of lag, despite playing the entirety of the content through online co-op.
- A Way Out is as divisive as its main characters, Leo and Vincent. Each time I want to say something bad about the game, I am reminded of something it did brilliantly. But each time I think of something positive, I’m reminded of some of the gameplay or moments that remove you from playing. It does a lot right in an unusual, sometimes clunky way. Brothers was a tale of two sons, A Way Out is a tale of two games.
- 8.0A Way Out truly excels at being a really unique video game experience. It tells a familiar cinematic story in a way no other medium can thanks to its brilliant execution. Some may find elements of the game lacking due to it being a bit simple but it can also be seen as a positive due to the fact that it allows more people to play the game. It could alienate some hardcore gamers but if you’re looking for a good co-op experience, A Way Out is one of the best of its kind.
- 8.0There's a constant mood about A Way Out that makes it seem like it's more inventive than it really is. Disregard that and you're left with a decent-enough story with some genuinely enjoyable video game moments. It's campy fun and that's perfectly fine. Just don't expect too much more.

This game really made me think How lucky I am to exist at the same time it was developed and realeased. Such an amazing story! Not just your ordinary cliche story. It has full of twists and turns with the series of events you get into. I love everything about this game. And surely you'll enjoy this 100% if you have a friend with you all the time to play this. Trust me, your friendship will either be stronger or even break at some point hahahah. Kidding aside, I really love how Hazelight managed to develop games like this. We always thought split-screen is dead. But they proved to us that we are wrong! **VISUALS** _Artistry:10 /12_ _Technical Merit: 6/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 11/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 7/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 6/8_ _Player Agency: 6/8_ _Accessibility: 3/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 9/10_ _Depth: 5/5_ _Variety: 5/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 8/8_ _Heart: 6/6_ _Originality: 6/6_
cool, I've played for like 6 hours with my friend and we enjoy it so much
A really fun game where you can play as a character and another character. You can play with your friends. **Story. Depending on** which character you choose, both of them has a unique past, You both are in prison. After helping each other after a gang fight that happened. You both want to try to escape prison. Going through. * Communication * Teamwork With helping people to get want they want for an item which is going to help you with the prison escape plan. While helping each other, to get to know more about the person and know more about their past and why they want to escape.(I mean, who doesn't want to escape prison?) **Post Prison.**After both of you escape prison. You'll help each other get revenge on who's responsible for putting them in prison, As both of them are innocent. You'll get guns, solve puzzles and Most importantly. Have fun. This game takes me and my brother 8 hours to complete. It's pretty fun. They're different endings, Plus there are betrayals, There's online if you don't have anyone to play with. But you'll probably need to turn on your mic and communicate, as there's no way you can beat the game without saying a thing and hoping the person will look out and say something. So communication is a must if you want to play online. Plus you'll get a lot of Achievements, There's a few secrets. It's amazing, WORTH TRYING. ON GAMEPASS
I really liked this game me and my friend beat it in 6 hours 2 hours then a break then 4 more and let me say it was a lot of fun i enjoyed it and so did my friend I think if you have the chance you need to try it its worth the time
Me and my friend thoroughly enjoyed this game, the story was good, the gameplay was unique and the graphics were fine. But the fun I had playing overrules all that making it a recommendation by me.
