Was a somewhat interesting game I suppose

Played this with girlfriend.

So, the story is pretty bad honestly. The villain is so boring, the ending is lame, idk, it just feels like I'm watching a really cheap B-Grade action movie.

The game in general feels pretty unpolished, the sound design on this game is pretty bad, it just feels unfinished and weird, animations are really stiff, characters look cardboard a lot, there's little to no atmosphere, the lighting is pretty mediocre, I think this game and It takes two are poorly optimized and require way more power than they should.

This game is entirely saved by the novelty of silly co-op stuff, such as the little mini-games. Both A Way Out and It Takes Two excel at this, but It Takes Two does it far better. Just doing silly things with ur partner and being able to experience a co-op game is nice, they're far too rare now.

The game is also EXTREMELY linear, and your choices have little to no effect on anything. They give you the illusion of player choices matter, when they really don't at all. You're always going through heavily scripted events and heavily scripted experiences. Also, an insane amount of braindead quick-time events, like god damn guys mix it up a little.

This game tries to do a lot and ends up being mediocre or below at all of them. The 3rd person shooting sections are legitimately garbage, the driving feels really bad and has bad physics, but generally you'll just be driving in a straight line so it doesn't matter, and chase scene just involves QTE's and pressing A to vault. The gameplay is really just lackluster a lot, but the puzzles and minigames are quite nice and are really where this game shines.

The ending is also kinda abrupt and lackluster. In both endings, we don't really see the surviving character deal with their emotions towards killing their partner. It all just falls kinda flat and disappointing.

This is still an interesting game experience, but It Takes Two is better in basically every way, so play that instead.
