Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game has exceeded my expectations in terms of 1) story, 2) gameplay, and 3) couch co-op. The story was amazing from start to finish. It hooks you in as it starts and makes you choose decisions that will affect the end game. By the end of the game both players will feel as if they had connected with their respective characters in some sense and enhance that experience even more. In terms of gameplay I didn't expect much since this game is story driven, but the environment destruction and the tag team of the duo really makes the game better. However there are some bugs here and there but that shouldn't be an issue since they can always patch that. Lastly, the coop, you can play in the same room or invite your friend to play with you even if they don't have the game. So it saves them money but they can still enjoy a great story. Overall, I give this game a 10/10.

This game is ambitious. For $20 you get a whole game and have to play it with a friend. The quality is standard along the lines of an independent developer, the narrative linear and the plot predictable. It's like playing through an old movie, one you're familiar with but still find endearing. If the odd dialogue doesn't intrigue you, you'll find it off-putting and distracting. But those imperfections give this game character and if you can stick it out until the end you are rewarded with an epic ending worthy of your time and $20 investment. Bonus, all the mini games and stuff are great and more fun than you'd expect. Nothing like stopping to play a game of darts or connect 4 while on the run from prison.

From the makers of a Tales of Two Brothers comes this little indie gem. Though somewhat on the short side A Way Out is one of the most memorable couch co-op experiences I had in a long time. The game does a good job of fully utilizing the two player venue. From team puzzle solving to partner timed button presses, this game goes through every two player possibility you can image. I could talk about the story but the co-op and the way it was excuted in regards to the story makes all the difference. If you like playing games with people in the same room this is a must buy.

I could write an entire review of this game but I'll sum it up: definitely worth the price. Grab a friend and go with it. It wasn't too long of a game, I was able to complete it with my friend in two long sessions, but we had a great time playing through it. The story is pretty interesting, and the characters were fun, but it's the unique gameplay and co-op experience that I really enjoyed. Definitely give it a try.

Picked this up for $30 and my friend and I completed it in a weekend, playing non-stop - couldn't put it down! Have to use timing and teamwork to advance through the levels and story - achievable by all skills levels. Great story, definitely some suspense too, and I would recommend at least one play through! There might be different endings as there are choices to be made throughout.

A great game with a great story. Wished the game wasn't always in split screen, and there is some jank with the game. Game sharing worked fine all the way with the same person in multiple attempts. The person you invite has to download a "demo" to join in, and they won't receive any trophies. Neat, and surprising that EA allowed this. Overall, a great game. Especially at that price. BUY.

This game is fun and tells a solid interesting story but that isn't the most notable thing about it. This game must be played two player, while it does have couch co op, it has a much more enticing feature. You can invite any friend online to play it with you, they don't need to buy the game, they just need to download the demo.

I should start by saying I really really like the idea of a mandatory split-screen co-op adventure. This game would be not-so-much-fun if you were playing solo. But with a friend, even some of the goofy game design choices become hilarious in the style of MST3K. Not that it's a bad B-movie quality of a game. It's actually pretty good, once you get out of prison. The first part (for me) lasted way too long, but maybe it's some kind of commentary on being stuck in jail? Anyway, once you get on the road and start exploring, it's a unique experience being able to interact with a friend to accomplish your goals. Other games have done co-op, but it's usually just another person helping to accomplish goals that could be done by one person. This game presents unique challenges that can only be surpassed by coordinating to work together.

Unique game play but very fun with a friend. I had a great time playing, and the story was excellent and entertaining. It felt a bit short, but I'm looking forward to future titles similar to this. I think it was effective and contributed to the story telling

This game is really amazing. I wasn't expecting much out of this game but it really did surpass my expectation. The graphics were good and the story was really good as well. The concept of only coop play made this game even better.

This game can only be played as co-op, and the best way to play is beside someone else. The story is pretty good and there are some twists as well. Recommended for someone who likes mature games with a fun twist

Loved his fire during the e3 presentation and I am glad the game did very well sales wise. Really liked the focus on playing with a friend and I like the story. Definitely give this game a try.

A Way Out is something special. It's not a perfect game with a perfect story, but the experience it offers, and the co-op game play far outweigh the flaws. It doesn't overstay it's welcome, and is a fun ride from start to finish. The game also offers plenty flexibility to find a co-op partner. You can play on the couch with split screen, or online. And the best part is, even online, only one of you needs to have the game, as your partner can still connect with you via an app downloadable from the PS Store. Keep in mind that there is NO WAY to play this single player.

For 30 dollars, this game is definitely worth it. The story is interesting, you can make choices that change the story line, and there's a twist you will not see coming. Highly recommend.

This was a pretty good game, it had a solid story. What sold me was being able to have your friend play it with you online even if they didn’t buy it!

Played the game with my best friend. We loved it having to work together. A true cooperative game. The story was actually good.

This game was awesome. Did not see that ending coming. Gave it a 9 out of 10. Took one point out because I wanted the option at the end

One of the best co of games out there! The story is different than the rest and takes team work! Great game

This game is jam packed with an amazing story and a top notch ending so worth it must try but don’t forget its two player only

The fact that you only need one copy of the game to play makes this worth it already. This game *must* be played co-op, either locally or online. You can play online with strangers via the included "friend pass." Story is cliche at times, but that doesn't take away from the experience of the game. Must play!
