A Way Out

Our analysis

A Way Out is his favorite co-op game, with mandatory split-screen play, inventive scenarios and an emotional story. He highly recommends it for its varied gameplay and plentiful Easter eggs, praising the value of sharing one copy with a friend.

Our analysis

Mack praises A Way Out for letting a second player join co-op without buying the game, but calls the story absurd, the controls clunky and the final showdown laughably bad, and says the game isn't even worth playing.

Our analysis

A Way Out offers local two-player co-op, but its bland characters, repetitive button prompts and shifting gameplay undermine the experience. Its final twist punches holes in the plot, leaving the climax without emotional impact.

Our analysis

A co-op-only adventure from the makers of Brothers that is paced extremely well, with creative split-screen set pieces and memorable goofy co-op moments; the story and dialogue are awkward and the shooting is loose, but it sticks the landing and is worth playing with a friend.

Our analysis

A Way Out builds a bond between players through cooperative decisions and varied challenges. Its story is inconsistent, but surprises keep the journey exciting, making it an easy recommendation for co-op fans.
