A Way Out is a solid interactive adventure that never overstays its welcome. It is a little short on replay value and lacks content but if we consider the launch price, there is not much to complain here. If you enjoy co-op games, there is no better recommendation than A Way Out.

A Way Out is nothing short of an awesome experience. The story is fantastic, the characters are very believable, and the game moves at a good pace. While it doesn't concentrate on a particular game style, it's easily accessible to all. The mandatory co-op may turn off those who can't easily find others to play with, but this game is well worth the effort of finding someone who's willing to go through the journey with you. A Way Out is certainly a game that's worth playing as soon as possible.

A Way Out is pretty much the best interactive movie you'll ever play - just make sure you've got a friend to bring along for the ride.

A Way Out pretty much succeeds in spite of itself. The storytelling is amateurish and a weak third act threatens to sour the whole experience. However, the hours before that are the dreams co-op games are made of.

Despite all its flaws, A Way Out lives on as one of the most amusing games I’ve experienced till date. Playing with a buddy helps minimize boredom and while you are at it you can just joke around with the absurdities that the game puts before you or just chat casually like old friends do.

A Way Out is a very special game that currently doesn't have a real competitor on the market. Although it's a small title, its production values are able to compete with AAA games. It's a pity that the developers didn't focus more on replayability, but even so, this game from Hazelight Studios can only be recommended.

A Way Out is a game that is well worth the six-hour runtime and well worth playing.

A Way Out revives a dying breed of co-op gaming. While on the shorter side (3.5 hours total story length), it keeps things moving with new styles of gameplay at every corner. The ending is particularly good and makes it worth the trip.

A Way Out is a mildly interesting take on the action-adventure genre with its forced co-op and exciting quick-time events.

...this game actually does a fantastic job making a multiplayer game feel as involved and engaging as an 8-hour 70’s buddy movie.

With its interesting main characters and unique approach to co-op play, A Way Out will certainly be one of the year's most intriguing titles. However, the slightly by-the-numbers story and largely mediocre visuals leave in just shy of greatness.

While the controls aren't the most polished and character animations are laughable, the story takes players on a wonderful ride. Hazelight Studios has done a top-notch job breaking the traditional norms of splitscreen gaming and co-op play in general. A Way Out might not be discussed to much come the end of the year, but it is still worth finding six hours of your life to give to the game.

A Way Out is one of the best coop adventures I have ever played. With great story telling, amazing camera transitions and believable dialogue, it's definitely one of the most memorable games of the last years.

Even with some sloppy writing and a hackneyed story, A Way Out's gameplay is so infectious and its heart so since that it's almost impossible to resist. Long live couch co-op.

There’s not a tonne more that I can say as it is a short game, but it’s an awesome short game. All I’ll say is find a good mate, set aside a day and do it one sitting with a few beers. You’ll not have as much co-op fun this year as you will here.
