Fresh presentation and admirable dedication to its big idea can't save this two-player adventure from mediocrity.
PC Gamer
Messy, varied and inadvertently hilarious: A Way Out is an unusual but uneven tandem ride.
IGN
If you go into A Way Out thinking its mandatory two-player co-op is a gimmick, you'll likely come out of it realizing that it couldn't have been done any other way. Vincent and Leo's journey will have you and a friend performing tasks together both mundane and dramatic, and the result is a memorable, variety-packed cinematic adventure that feels like what Telltale's games might've evolved into if they'd leaned into game mechanics instead of phasing them out.
Metro GameCentral
It's highly inconsistent, but this is still one of the most daring co-op games of recent years and shows how well playing together can work for story-based games.
