About A Way Out

A Way Out is a cooperative action-adventure game designed exclusively for two-player split-screen play, either locally or online. Each player controls one of two protagonists, Leo and Vincent, who form a reluctant partnership to break out of prison. Gameplay involves stealth, combat, driving, and environmental puzzle-solving, with both characters taking different cooperative roles in each situation. The game features a branching narrative that unfolds simultaneously for both players through its split-screen presentation.

compared to spiderman's traversal, the driving and shooting here feel clunky, but the co op design itself is way more ambitious tbh, spiderman never asks two…

compared to spiderman's traversal, the driving and shooting here feel clunky, but the co op design itself is way more ambitious tbh, spiderman never asks two ppl to depend on each other like this game does, and thats a huge difference in structure

The forced cooperation is the whole point, and it works, though solo replay value is basically zero.

Arnaude_40

Zéro replay value en solo, d'accord, mais est-ce que ça compte vraiment pour un jeu pensé à deux dès le départ ?

IronKid2

Ah sí, claro, cero rejugabilidad en solitario, como si alguien fuera a jugarlo solo dos veces sin que el otro se entere.

i think its strongest when the two players actualy talk to each other during a puzzle, my friend and i argued more than we played tbh, the driving sections felt kinda weak tho compared to everything else

Et niveau technique, la conduite est rígida comparée à ce que propose Crysis en mouvement libre.

Álvaro_72

La conducción rígida se siente aún más en curvas cerradas, ¿a ti también te pasó eso en las persecuciones?

Philippine_46

C'est marrant, moi c'est plutôt la précision des tirs qui m'a semblé raide, jsp si c'est pareil pour tt le monde, la conduite passe encore mieux que le reste franchement, ça reste un détail qui pèse dans l'expérience globale à deux.

Otra vez el mismo debate sobre si merece estar tan arriba o no, y sinceramente ya ni tengo ganas de discutirlo, pero no, no lo pondría tan alto.

BossOwl1995

no, sigue sobrevalorado

Gamboa25

Yo sigo discutiéndolo porque me parece injusto bajarlo tanto solo por... bueno, ya se entiende.
