Fresh presentation and admirable dedication to its big idea can’t save this two-player adventure from mediocrity.

Areajugones	Sergio Cervera	9.5 / 10	03-22-2018	Hazelight Studios redefines with A Way Out what a coop game should be. Leo and Vincent’s story has the players facing situations like we have never seen in a videogame before. This is undoubtedly one of this year’s surprises.	Read review
Atomix	Pamela Lima	90 / 100	03-21-2018	A Way Out is a great experience that will keep you amazed through all the journey. It’s a charming and enjoyable game that really makes a connection with the person you play it. A must have for the co-op games’ fans.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	William Schwartz	4.5 / 5 stars	03-21-2018	A Way Out takes some of the very best ideas from action adventure gaming and mixes them with the story telling of a great film.	Read review
AusGamers	Kosta Andreadis	7.8 / 10	03-26-2018	A Way Out understands that co-op can be fun and spontaneous in addition to providing another tense moment requiring coordination.	Read review
Bazimag	Ehsan Nakhoda	8 / 10	03-26-2018	A Way Out may not be a perfect game, yet it is an enjoyable experience able to make good memories. In his career as a game designer, Josef Fares has always been trying to introduce new ideas and he started doing so by presenting “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”. “Brothers” was and still is a unique title which is hard to find alike on the market. Luckily, A Way Out is lovable, informative, romantic and entertaining as much; and just like Josef Fares’ previous game, it can be a rare experience.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Gabriel Bogdan	7.8 / 10	03-25-2018	A Way Out is a well made Co-Op fun for a great evening on the couch or online with friends that oftens tries to put too much into the game and misses to actually deliver on the gameplay and story telling part. If you can live with tons of flaws in every department you’ll still have lots of fun with the game.	Read review
COGconnected	Erin Castillo	82 / 100	03-22-2018	From beginning to end A Way Out will have you on the edge of your seat	Read review
Cubed3	Josh Di Falco	8 / 10	05-19-2018	A Way Out is a phenomenal co-operational interactive movie that can be enjoyed both on the couch with a friend or spouse, or online. What makes the online aspect even better is that the partner doesn’t even need a copy of the game, as they can join in easily. Vince and Leo have two contrasting personalities that see the calm meet the storm, as they both must put their differences aside to escape the prison they are confined to. With attention to detail within every nook and cranny, watching how their two stories diverge and converge at integral moments of the game is a fascinating experience that needs to be played through twice. Playing as both Leo and Vince will offer two unique story paths, as they both have different roles in solving puzzles, while narrative-forks provide a “Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” element to the story.	Read review
Cultured Vultures	Jimmy Donnellan	8.5 / 10	03-26-2018	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.	Read review
Destructoid	Brett Makedonski	8 / 10	03-29-2018	There’s a constant mood about A Way Out that makes it seem like it’s more inventive than it really is. Disregard that and you’re left with a decent-enough story with some genuinely enjoyable video game moments. It’s campy fun and that’s perfectly fine. Just don’t expect too much more.	Read review
Digiato	Pedram Bahadori	80 / 100	03-27-2018	A Way Out is nothing near to a perfect game. Dialogues are cheesy and voice actings make the conversations even more shallow. Missions are quite easy and they hardly give you a hard time. But the innovative and diverse gameplay of the game makes up for all these problems and is a must experience if you have a close friend.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Dillon Sweeney	8.7 / 10	09-08-2017	A wonderful story mixed in with entertaining and truly original co-op experience. It was such thrilling time to be playing a game that required teamwork. The main story is good, but then a major twist that pushes the story even deeper makes the game even better. Leo and Vincent’s polar opposite personalities come together and offer for fun dialogue. A Way Out’s beautiful design and thrilling gameplay bring back the fun times of binge playing a game on the couch with your best friend.	Read review
Digital Trends	Phil Hornshaw	3 / 5 stars	04-02-2018	Though it’s fun with a friend, A Way Out struggles with clunky set-pieces and story clichés.	Read review
DualShockers	Logan Moore	7 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out has some ambitious, fantastic ideas at its core, but it’s unfortunately surrounded by tiresome gameplay mechanics and a story that is just a bit too straightforward. While I think that the co-op focused nature of A Way Out could have better been executed upon, I endlessly credit Hazelight for trying something that I’ve never really seen done in this manner. Despite my issues, I really love the experimentation seen in A Way Out and hope to see more unique ideas like it in the future.	Read review
Easy Allies	Michael Huber	4 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	A Way Out presents a unique co-op offering that’s a breath of fresh air.	Read review
EGM	Emma Schaefer, Evan Slead	8 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out hearkens back to the days of couch co-op, placing players in the shoes of two criminals who must solve puzzles and support one another to escape. The game’s emotional drama runs alongside its silly undertone, making for a game that’s both moving and, at times, unintentionally hilarious.	Read review
Eurogamer	Oli Welsh	Not Recommended	03-29-2018	Fresh presentation and admirable dedication to its big idea can’t save this two-player adventure from mediocrity.	Read review
Game Informer	Matthew Kato	7 / 10	03-22-2018	The premise, and occasionally its execution, has its moments, but A Way Out feels like a vision not fully realized	Read review
Game Revolution	Paul Tamburro	3.5 / 5 stars	03-21-2018	A Way Out may not be the perfect local multiplayer game, and though Hazelight made the excellent decision to allow two online players to play the game using only one copy, it lacked the replayability required to inspire me to complete it with another friend after I’d finished my first playthrough.	Read review
Gameblog	Gianni Molinaro	8 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a unique game, a huge success in the narrative genre, that deals more than well with its urge to make us play cooperatively. The concept, that involves an almost permanent split-screen, not only works great, but the story, its characters and the way we deal with some really simple but really engaging gameplay makes us feel like we are actually the two lovely protagonists of this interactive, full of action and emotion buddy movie.	Read review
GameCrate	Christopher Atwood	7.5 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out is a fun ride that shows off a great cooperative experience, an interesting story, and some of the coolest camera work to ever grace a video game. It’s an extremely smooth experience with very few rough edges. That said, it lacks some of the content we’ve come to expect from interactive stories, which makes it a fun ride, but not something that you’ll likely return to again and again.	Read review
GameGrin	Adam Wilkin	9.5 / 10	04-02-2018	A game that takes what came before and redefines what is possible in co-operative storytelling, with a level of detail and polish far beyond what could be expected of a small team.	Read review
GameMAG	ACE	7 / 10	04-04-2018	A Way Out features interesting co-оp mechanics, several beautiful chases with a great camera work, properly placed checkpoints, stunning (by the indie studios standards) graphics, and, at the same time, an absurd script and stupid characters.	Read review
GamePro	Mirco Kämpfer	79 / 100	03-22-2018	Entertaining co-op adventure with great ideas that sacrifices playful claims in favor of an exciting story.	Read review
Gamersky	不倒翁蜀黍	8.7 / 10	03-28-2018	Despite a few technical issues, A Way Out is one of the greatest story-driven co-op games.	Read review
GamesBeat	Dean Takahashi	84 / 100	03-21-2018	You may feel split between the lack of complete agency and the recognition that you are being told a story.	Read review
GameSkinny	Miles T	8 / 10	04-03-2018	Timing button prompts, ruining emotional cutscenes, coordinating madness, and endless mini-game distractions. A Way Out is a co-op game like no other that you shouldn’t miss out on experiencing.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	9 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out is pretty much the best interactive movie you’ll ever play	Read review
GameSpot	Oscar Dayus	6 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a unique, enjoyable adventure that has a number of problems.	Read review
GamesRadar+	Sam Loveridge	4.5 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	A Way Out elevates co-op gaming in a way nothing has before, bringing players together to create one beautifully told story that everyone needs to experience.	Read review
GameWatcher	Marcello Perricone	10 / 10	04-04-2018	A Way Out not only holds itself alongside the best coop titles out there – it surpasses them.	Read review
GameZone	Cade Onder	8 / 10	03-29-2018	A Way Out truly excels at being a really unique video game experience. It tells a familiar cinematic story in a way no other medium can thanks to its brilliant execution. Some may find elements of the game lacking due to it being a bit simple but it can also be seen as a positive due to the fact that it allows more people to play the game. It could alienate some hardcore gamers but if you’re looking for a good co-op experience, A Way Out is one of the best of its kind.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Nicholas Leon	9 / 10	03-22-2018	It is a truly welcome gem in the medium that takes risks and propels the experience with new energy nearly every step of the way. The player constantly moves forward and the game gets tension done in a way seldom seen in gaming. A Way Out is an example of a triumph in new ideas, while using traditional methods of gameplay to get the point across that this is a different beast.	Read review
GamingBolt	Rashid Sayed	9 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a shining example of couch co-op gaming done right.	Read review
GamingTrend	Travis Northup	85 / 100	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a game that everyone should take the time to play with their best friend. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it succeeds at being highly entertaining despite its flaws. It’s a unique experience, unlike anything else I’ve ever played, and a worthy follow-up by the developers who gave us the titular “Brothers.”	Read review
GearNuke	Khurram Imtiaz	8.5 / 10	03-22-2018	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.	Read review
Geeks Under Grace	Jonathon Moriconi	6.5 / 10	04-09-2019	A Way Out is a mildly interesting take on the action-adventure genre with its forced co-op and exciting quick-time events.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Victor de Palma	8 / 10	03-21-2018	A risky title with a obligatory multiplayer but with satisfactory results in a story that will make us empathize a lot with the characters.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	8.5 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a story worth sharing with a friend. There’s plenty to do, with moments of intensity and emotion, and the ending is one of the best conclusions in video games.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Michał Grygorcewicz	8.5 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out is more than just the sum of its parts; when all the game’s elements are working together, the end result is almost surprisingly good. A very simple storyline steadily develops into a great thriller, and the gameplay is unceasingly, relentlessly gripping. The co-op backbone is what really makes this game a fantastic choice.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Sam Spyrison	3.5 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	Hazelight Studios deserves praise for the high ambitions of their first title, with A Way Out attempting to emulate a wide variety of genres, themes and gameplay mechanics.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Daniel Quesada	85 / 100	03-22-2018	The results of a bold idea, which stays with us until the end and offers a very clever foundation for the gameplay. It’s a little too short and, sometimes, the gameplay is too basic in order for the story to advance, but A Way Out is one of those gaming experiences you NEED to try at least once.	Read review
IGN	Ryan McCaffrey	8.3 / 10	03-23-2018	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.	Read review
IGN Spain	Juan García	8.5 / 10	01-01-2014	An excellent coop game that manages to entertain despite its not so great tempo due to its profound variety on almost every scene.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Nathan Misa	3.3 / 5 stars	03-30-2018	A Way Out is an ambitious co-op only, split-screen only adventure game with a compelling story, interactive environments and fun ideas that’s a little messy in execution but fun with a friend.	Read review
Just Push Start	Damian Seeto	4.4 / 5 stars	03-28-2018	All in all, A Way Out is an innovative game and one that is recommended for people with a close friend or family member to play with. You can either bond together doing the co-op activities, or troll one another for some cheap laughs. Either way, it’s one of the best co-op experiences I’ve ever had in many years. Sure the game is short, but the unique gameplay and excellent story made me hooked until the very end. Even though it’s only March, A Way Out is my favorite game of the year thus far.	Read review
Kotaku	Heather Alexandra, Gita Jackson	Recommended	03-26-2018	It is a game full of smart moments, perfect for bringing together dedicated gamers and curious onlookers alike.	Read review
Leadergamer	Kaan Gezer	Recommended	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a video game that worth of its 30 Dollars price tag. If you are looking for an action-based co-op game that you can play with your friend or family member, A Way Out can be the video game you are looking for.	Read review
LevelUp	Luis Sánchez	7 / 10	01-01-1970	A Way Out intended to renew the forgotten split screen cooperative experience, but fell short in its execution. The result is not as overwhelming as you think; A Way Out is fun and it’s better to play with a partner on the couch. However, if you wanted to find the holy grail of the cooperative gaming, maybe you should look elsewhere.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	6 / 10	03-28-2018	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.	Read review
New Game Network	Eric Hall	72 / 100	04-03-2018	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.	Read review
NoobFeed	Adam Siddiqui	80 / 100	03-23-2018	A Way Out has a lot of highs and lows but the combination of cooperative elements and cinematic adventure provides enough excitement that you’ll stick around until the end.	Read review
Pardis Game	Ali Ghorbani	7 / 10	04-16-2018	A Way Out is full of ups and downs. It has a stroke aometimes and it can’t recreate its own success. Sometimes it tries to be creative but there’s no creativity from the developer making this the game’s biggest flaw and it makes for an hour of intense and fun experience while the prologue and epilogue lack the panache of the rest of the game.	Read review
PC Gamer	Chris Schilling	64 / 100	03-23-2018	Messy, varied and inadvertently hilarious: A Way Out is an unusual but uneven tandem ride.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Tyler Treese	10 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is a true achievement in game design. Not only does it manage to take players on a true journey of emotion, it does so in a way that is only possible through the medium of video games. It manages to do something truly special by making two players to cooperate for an extended amount of time, and the discussions that happen on the couch or over voice chat can be just as revealing as the game itself. Josef Fares and Hazelight have undoubtedly raised the bar for co-op gaming.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Neil Bolt	8.5 / 10	03-24-2018	A co-op experience like no other, Hazelight’s A Way Out goes all in on its defining concept to deliver a remarkable game. It may be a touch lacking in character development and storytelling, but that seems insignificant given what the game itself can give you.	Read review
Polygon	Colin Campbell	7.5 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out has many faults, but a lack of heart isn’t one of them. Seeing that heart translated into a cooperative play experience makes the journey worthwhile.	Read review
PowerUp!	Leo Stevenson	7 / 10	03-29-2018	A Way Out is a game that is well worth the six-hour runtime and well worth playing.	Read review
Press Start	Brodie Gibbons	8 / 10	03-25-2018	On the heels of Brothers, Josef Fares has given us A Way Out, a rich and thoughtful independent darling that delivers on a story that respects its characters and remains grounded, hardly ever resorting to nonsense action just for the sake of it. Though we predicted the game’s ending before it happened, the conclusion hit us like a truck. With its extremely reasonable pricing and share play, A Way Out is a must play from one of the industry’s most talented small teams.	Read review
pressakey.com	Kevin Henschen	Recommended	04-06-2018	A Way Out delivers a remarkable co-op experience like no other did in former generations.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Bruno Henrique Vinhadel	81 / 100	03-24-2018	If we remove from the game all armed combat and the conclusion of the story that seems to have been created only to raise the dramatic charge at its end, A Way Out is an excellent escape and cooperation game, made to those who love a friendly gameplay session.	Read review
Push Square	Stephen Tailby, Alex Stinton	7 / 10	03-26-2018	A Way Out is a successful experiment in co-operative play with some excellent presentation and varied gameplay. The story may be predictable, but you’ll be surprised how attached you become to Leo and Vincent, and you’ll be compelled to see their journey through to the end regardless.	Read review
Reloading BR	Felipe Mesquita	8.4 / 10	03-31-2018	There is nothing like A Way Out on the market. Both its design premise of using gameplay as the main storytelling vessel and its concept of how co-op is implemented are unique in this medium, and more importantly, they worked very well. The story beats the game touches are slightly generic but it uses the interactivity of video games to deliver extremely memorable sequences. This adventure starring Leo and Vincent is fun, thrilling and emotional and I absolutely recommend the experience.	Read review
Reno Gazette-Journal	Jason Hidalgo	8.5 / 10	03-28-2018	For a game that I pretty much had to drag a reluctant cousin into, A Way Out surprisingly found a way in into our hearts. It’s certainly not perfect and it has its share of hiccups from both a narrative and mechanical standpoint. A fun co-op experience (koala-hugging above the skies of Mexico!) combined with an interesting story that features a surprise twist at the end, however, made us root hard for both Leo and Vincent as their journey headed toward its shocking climax. For the best experience, I recommend playing it with someone right next to you.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	Adam Smith	Recommended	04-04-2018	Usually, in the course of gameplay, a game’s character becomes an avatar for you. But A Way Out accomplishes something far more subversive and bold. Eventually, for better or for worse, you become an avatar for your character.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	ريان الدويش	8 / 10	03-31-2018	A Way Out might not be the perfect experience, it has some issues. But the unique idea and the good execution of it made it unforgettable experience, and it is one of the best cooperative games in the recent years.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Matúš Štrba	8 / 10	04-06-2018	A Way Out utilizes co-op as a unique gameplay tool for building a relationship between players and characters.	Read review
Shacknews	Sam Chandler	7 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out is full of heart and soul: you’ll grow to love the characters, and you’ll become invested in Leo’s charm and curious about Vincent’s problems, but it’s light and it could leave you unsatisfied.	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Leif Rey Bornales	9.5 / 10	03-23-2018	I highly recommend this game if you want to have a great coop experience. It’s like watching a movie and playing a game at the same time. The thrills and chills this game gives is like no other. And I can truly say that it provided an entertainment that no other coop game can provide.	Read review
Slant Magazine	Jed Pressgrove	4.5 / 5 stars	03-26-2018	Following the lead of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the game builds toward an incredibly sobering conclusion.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Martin Kubeš	85 / 100	03-23-2018	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.	Read review
SpazioGames	Domenico Musicò	8 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out is a solid co-op game that tells a simple story about two men that find themselves to be partners in crime. The first half is way too simple, guided and slow; the second half is funny, with a dramatic turn of events.	Read review
Stevivor	Steve Wright	7 / 10	03-21-2018	A Way Out mightn’t be all I wanted it to be, but it is competent and different.	Read review
TechRaptor	Richard Costa	4.5 / 10	03-22-2018	If you don’t mind silly and over-the-top action scenes that make most people roll their eyes, A Way Out will provide some decent mindless entertainment to you and a co-op buddy for a few hours. Otherwise, this is one to avoid.	Read review
The Game Fanatics	James Macintyre	8 / 10	04-10-2018	A Way Out is a great game that creates an amazing experience for two players to enjoy together. With varied gameplay and fun scenarios, players will find themselves easily immersed in the story. Driving themselves (and their buddy) into finishing the game much faster than expected. With strong gameplay and interesting moments, this game will go down as one of the most creative cooperative experiences this generation.	Read review
The Games Machine	Mario Baccigalupi	8.6 / 10	03-21-2018	After the heartwarming Brothers	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Stefan L	8 / 10	03-22-2018	After Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, I came into A Way Out with expectations of a fraught and trying prison escape drama. That’s just the beginning though, and it soon transforms into a fun revenge flick. It doesn’t have the emotional impact of Brothers, and there’s some rough edges from the breadth of ideas that Hazelight include, but most importantly we just had a lot of fun.	Read review
TrueAchievements	Dave Horobin	4.5 / 5 stars	04-16-2018	A Way Out provides a unique cinematic experience that redefines the way narrative-driven games can be played, thanks to its engaging story and varied gameplay that will keep both players interested throughout, though the controls can often feel clunky.	Read review
Twinfinite	Zhiqing Wan	4.5 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	If you’re not a fan of linear games, you should probably play A Way Out anyway. The game’s presentation of a truly co-operative story is sublime, and it makes full use of the video game medium as a method to punctuate the dramatic moments and develop its characters. Like Brothers, A Way Out presents a unique twist to the cinematic story formula, and it sticks the landing.	Read review
USgamer	Caty McCarthy	3.5 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	Even with a cliched story at its center, A Way Out’s persistent co-op elevates it to new heights for the newly married co-op adventure genre. The split-screen ebbs and flows according to what’s happening with each character, enriching what would usually be a more-typical, stagnant co-op experience. While the middle of the game drags in some sections and finds itself littered with lousy, inessential combat, its first few hours and superb finale sequence are strong enough to make the whole journey worth seeing through.	Read review
VGN	Francesca Guido	8.5 / 10	03-22-2018	A unique experience that changes in every scene and tells a story about the collaboration between two strangers, that will soon turn into friends. Josef Fares managed to create a simple but fascinating gameplay that forces the two players to keep cooperating in different ways along the whole experience, in a sort of interactive movie that you can live from Leo and Vincent’s point of view.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	9 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is possibly the best cooperative video game ever created.	Read review
Washington Post	Christopher Byrd	Recommended	03-22-2018	‘A Way Out’ presents a way forward for shared video game experiences	Read review
Wccftech	Nathan Birch	9 / 10	03-22-2018	A Way Out is an impressive achievement that definitively proves creativity matters more than bloated budgets and big-name franchises. A technically accomplished, endlessly inventive co-op masterpiece, A Way Out will surprise and excite you from beginning to end. This one deserves to be a breakout hit.	Read review
We Got This Covered	David Morgan	3 / 5 stars	03-22-2018	There are better narrative-driven games, and there are better co-op games, but I find myself hard pressed to think of one that does both as gracefully as A Way Out. While let down by its writing, it’s worth your time if you’re looking for an adventure that can only be shared with someone else.	Read review
