Best Boss Fights of 2018
9. Your Partner (A Way Out)
After working together to orchestrate a prison break, take down a crime lord and obtain an incredibly valuable jewel, most players of A Way Out were probably expecting a final boss battle that put Vincent and Leo’s teamwork to the test.
In a sudden about-face, however, it’s revealed that Vincent has been an undercover cop all along, using Leo to obtain the stolen jewel and put a stop to the crime lord’s reign. He’s intent on turning Leo in, and isn’t afraid to put him down if he refuses.
As a result, both players are pit against each other, one tailing the other across waterways and through a portside warehouse. Bullets fly and bonds are broken, leaving room for only one to walk away to begin their life anew.
It’s a surprise so sudden that it places players firmly in the shoes of their characters. Both will want to be the one to come out alive, even if it means killing a former comrade to do so.
