REVIEW ROUND UP
DUALSHOCKERS – 7/10
“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.”
– Logan Moore
TRUSTED REVIEWS – 3.5/5
“Mechanically, this is a very rewarding experience that deserves plenty of praise. There are some minor quibbles about some of its mechanics, but these stand in the shade of its achievements.”
– Brett Phipps
GAMESRADAR – 4.5/5
“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.”
– Sam Loveridge
IGN – 8.3/10
“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.”
– Ryan McCaffrey
GAMESPOT – 6/10
“I did, however, enjoy the journey I’d been on with my friend sat next to me. We had to look out for each other while escaping prison, work together to solve puzzles, and save each other’s life on multiple occasions. Our characters might not have grown closer together, but A Way Out’s forced co-op is worth it for the few standout moments it provides.”
– Oscar Dayus
WCCFTECH – 9/10
“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.”
– Nathan Birch
COGCONNECTED – 82/100
“A Way Out is creative and thoughtful, which is exactly what you want to see from a linear and narrative based story. Unfortunately, there are a few things that stand in the way of the game reaching its true potential, specifically a complete lack of consequences, as well as a few dialogue issues.”
– Erin Castillo
WORTH PLAYING – 9/10
“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.”
– Cody Medellin
A Way Out is promising to be one of the best co-op games of the year. The critics have pointed put a few glaring issues, but most agree that as long as you have a friend who can spare a few hours to pour into the adventure, you’ll both come out of it feeling satisfied.
