Story full of cliches, tropes and an incredibley forced plot-twist. All decisions made in the game and how characters are behaving is just plain stupid. I absolutely can't imagine that somone who already saw more then three action flicks will find the plot exciting or intriguing in any way. Also the huge selling point of the game, the coop gameplay, is just horrible. It's ridclisouly easy and doesn't require any way of coordination or tactic whatsover. You basically can't fail in this game. It's an interactive movie that plays itself and not a fun coop experience.

I give the game some credits for the first chapter (the only good part in the game) and the overall idea. "A Way Out" could have been so much better if they had focused more on the main aspect of the game and made the gameplay more complex and challenging, but they rather decided to put their effort in creating a generic plot to make it more cinematic and appealing to a wider audience. At the end of the day it fails on both ends.
