A Way Out, a prison-break adventure game, was developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts. It is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and is aimed at co-op fans. The original release was in 2018, and since June 2020 the game, which was originally only available on EA's Origin platform for PC, can also be bought on Steam.
A Way Out is about two criminals who end up in prison a few months apart. They plan their escape together and have to work together in different ways to get past the prison walls, even though they don't really know each other. The game is mainly aimed at fans of classic couch co-op, as the adventure can be played on a console with two controllers, which is unfortunately rather the exception these days. In addition, it is also possible to play together over the Internet, both on the PC and on the console. However, the latter variant requires a PS Plus or an Xbox Gold membership.
The two jailbirds work out a detailed plan that step by step brings them closer to freedom. Various precautions have to be taken here, which require minute cooperation in order not to be found out. For example, during a search of the cells, the stolen tool has to be cleverly handed back and forth so that the controller does not find it. Also when overcoming obstacles or fighting, it is necessary to achieve the goal together. Another important area is distraction. While one of the inmates draws the attention of fellow prisoners and guards, the other can gain access to forbidden areas. The co-op features fit so well together that both players play on an equal footing and not, as in many other titles with co-op features, one is only supportive. The cooperation of the unequal pair does not end after the successful breakout. Outside the prison, more challenges await that need to be overcome so that the escape is crowned with success at the end.
