Two players. One screen. A prison break across 12 hours of shared cinematic moments. Nearly all the praise centers on the cooperative experience, but a sliver of players find the adventure too short.

What it's about: A Way Out est une aventure exclusivement en co-op, dans laquelle vous incarnez deux détenus s'échappant de prison.
