A Way Out
Top 6 Best Co-Op Games of Q1 2018
When it really comes down to it, co-op games are all about confidence and collaboration – trusting that your partner knows what the hell he or she is doing. A Way Out manages to hit this nail on the head by providing players with an elaborate couch co-op experience.
You and your partner will play as two convicts, Vincent and Leo, who are basically looking for a way out of prison. These two protagonists couldn’t be more different from each other, with both men having completely different motivations and personalities.It’s up to the both of you to hatch the perfect escape plan and do whatever it takes to find freedom. The game plays out in a split-screen perspective, leaving both Vincent and Leo to their own devices. You and your partner each have their own roles in the escape, meaning you won’t be actually working “together” for most of the time. Scenarios aren’t set in stone, meaning you can approach each situation differently depending on your plans.
A Way Out perfectly captures what a real “co-op” game actually is, with its underlying message of camaraderie, collaboration, and trust. Check out our thoughts on this thrilling prison escape.
