A Way Out
Best PS4 Games to Have on Your Radar in March 2018
A Way Out is the newest title in the EA Originals program, and it’s the second game to be directed by Josef Fares after Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Like Brothers, the game is heavily focused on co-op gameplay, although there’s a bit of a twist. A Way Out is designed primarily to be played in split-screen co-op with each player controlling one of the two main characters. Their stories play out side-by-side and loop together quite often, but each player’s progress isn’t synchronized. This means that while one is playing, the other player might be watching a cutscene. The story follows Vincent and and Leo, two convicted prisoners who have to break out of prison, and stay on the run from authorities.
You’ll need to cooperate in order to make it out of certain situations, like breaking out of prison, but there’s not one specific way to meet objectives. Each player can assume a number of roles, like one distracting a guard while the other nabs a tool that might help in their escape. EA Originals have been pretty good so far with Unravel and Fe, and A Way Out certainly looks like it has promise. It’s one of the more interesting titles of March to keep your eye on.
