Why It Ranks
“Two players. One shared screen. Zero solo option.” — The Friendship Test. Scored 21/30.
Score Breakdown
The Review
A Way Out is a mandatory co-op game with no single-player option, and that constraint is its genius. Josef Fares built a prison-break story that requires two players to coordinate escapes, car chases, and eventually face an ending that tests the friendship of the players themselves. The split-screen presentation dynamically shifts based on the action. It is short, imperfect, and absolutely unforgettable with the right partner.
Fun Fact
Only one player needs to own the game — the Friend Pass lets a second player join for free, a feature Fares personally insisted on.
