So me and my friend Jeremiah played A Way Out and we effectively say that we regret ever playing it for that DANG ENDING. A Way Out is an action-adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts. Released March 23rd 2018, It is the second video game to be directed by Josef Fares after Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The Game begins with you and another player picking one of two characters, Leo, a criminal in jail, attempting to clear his criminal past, and Vincent, Another criminal attempting to find a crime boss and put an end to his reign. The games system makes it so that Leo and Vincents actions both effect each other when playing away from or with each other. You and the other player will have to make decisions that will take both of your wills to make, bringing up debate and discussion on how to proceed with certain story telling decisions. The games dialogue is different for how Leo and Vincent interact with the world around them. They can both talk to the same characters, but they will get different lines of dialogue since Leo and Vincent are different people. You have multiple things you can say to NPC's whether they are important to the story or just a side NPC. The game also has many QuickTime events that will occasionally require you to work with the other player to preform correctly, its also important to mention if one player dies, the other fails as well. The game operates on a split screen when doing multiplayer which is important to know based on how you like your UI. All in all, the game looks quite good, its very simplistic but has very creative elements in its art work, the story is amazing, and the characters themselves are very interesting to learn about over the course of the game. Poetically, Leo and Vincent grow just as much as you and the person playing with you do.
9.4/10 would cry myself asleep after finishing the game again.
