List of Games You've Beaten 2025

Just Finished: A Way Out (PS4)

I bought this game a while ago in a bundle with It Takes Two. This is my first time playing one of Hazelight's co-op games. I played as Leo, the streetwise career criminal. Surprisingly only a small part of the game is spent breaking out of the prison. For the majority of the game the characters are on the run trying to hunt down the mob boss that crossed them. This is a very linear and cinematic experience. The existence of some choice based moments make it seem like the game is more dynamic than it actually is. The splitscreen gameplay works pretty well and aside from one wacky glitch the online experience was seamless. The game becomes an average third person shooter in its latter missions. The emphasis is really on the story and the relationship between the two characters who have to learn to trust each other. A lot of random interactions are built into the environments of different chapters. The game moves at a brisk clip and took us about 6 hours to complete. The twist ending creates a lot of plotholes. The two different endings strike similar emotional chords. We actually were able to platinum this game with only a little bit of extra time. Not much replayability once you have seen everything interesting that the game has to offer. That hospital level is legendary and well executed. I look forward to playing the rest of Hazelight's co-op titles in the future. 

Score: 7/10
