I finished this game in one sitting with a friend. It took us about six hours. Good value for the money spent, especially considering that only one of us had to buy the game and could share it online. A Way Out is 100% focused on coop-gameplay. There is no way to play this game alone or with a computer controlled partner. This leads to some bonding moments between the players and a real team-work feeling over the course of the whole game because every level is fully committed to being a coop-experience. The gameplay itself is kinda mid though. It’s mostly generic third-person-action adventure gameplay with some climbing, jumping and light puzzle solving. The crime story and characters are pretty good and there is a really well done twist towards the end which makes the whole experience worthwhile. And there just aren’t any other games like this which makes it a unique experience.

Played this through Xbox game pass. I played it with my brother quite a while back so I don't remember all the things exactly how they were. But it was a really nice co-op game with a solid story. Game mechanics were pretty simple if I remember correctly. The game would just show what button to press etc.
However im not sure if there are multiple endings to the game. I only got one. There was a fight between both the main characters in the end and the character my brother played(the one with a family) died. The other guy was actually an undercover cop
