Different Perspectives for Each Player
A Way Out isn’t the usual case of two players moving in the same space, helping each other over obstacles and providing cover fire. Instead, each player has their own unique perspective. As is clear in this gameplay trailer, what happens to each of the two characters is entirely different. One could be in the middle of a cutscene, while the other could be deep in combat, and this differs from moment to moment.
Not only does it make for a deeper and more detailed story, but it opens up the possibility for repeat playthroughs. What one character experiences may not be the same as the other, and it’ll be fun to play the game twice to experience both. Also, how each character plays differs, in terms of movement, personality, and combat, making each one unique to play.
