About this game

A Way Out is a prison break story that only works if you bring someone along for the ride. Hazelight, the studio behind Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons, built this one around a simple but rare idea: two players, two convicts, one shared plan to get out and stay out. There’s no solo mode to fall back on, and that’s the whole point. It’s a game designed around a friendship, not just a character.

How it plays

You take control of either Leo or Vincent, two inmates who have every reason to distrust each other and no real choice but to team up anyway. The story moves through the mechanics of a prison escape and the fallout that follows, with both players making decisions that shape how the partnership holds together. Split-screen keeps you both on screen at once, so you’re constantly aware of what your partner is doing even when your paths through a scene diverge. EA’s Friends Pass system means only one of you needs to actually own the game. The buyer can invite a friend to a free trial of the full experience, so the barrier to getting a second player in is about as low as it gets for a co-op title.

Who it’s for

This is for people who still text a friend “let’s play something together this weekend” and mean it. If you’ve got a regular co-op partner and you’re tired of shooters or looter games as your only shared option, this fills a different niche entirely, something closer to an interactive buddy movie than a traditional game. It’s less suited to solo players, since there’s no way to experience it alone, and it’s not the pick for someone who wants a long-term game to sink dozens of hours into over months. It’s built for one focused session or a couple of evenings with a specific person, not an ongoing habit.

Is it worth it?

Value here comes down to whether you actually have someone to play it with, because without a partner it simply doesn’t function. If you do, the Friends Pass setup means you’re really only paying once for two people’s worth of entertainment, which changes the math in your favor compared to most co-op games. It’s the kind of title that’s easy to recommend picking up when you see it discounted, especially since it’s not the sort of game you’ll return to for replay value once the story’s played out. Grab it when a sale lines up with having a co-op partner free, rather than buying it and hoping to find the right person later.
