Dealing with backlog: A Way Out

After It Takes Two we decided to play through the predecessor: A Way Out. Toni had already played it once with a friend but he remembered very little of the story. I wasn't as excited for this game as I was for It Takes Two, mainly because the escape from prison setting has been done so many times. It's done to death. It's a cliché. But the game mechanic of It Takes Two was cool enough that I agreed to try A Way Out. 

The gameplay was still really cool. I like the whole mechanic of having to do things together to progress. Unlike in most co-op games where one person can just run ahead and do everything and then has to wait for the other person to catch up. None of that in these games. I approve. 

The river scene was infuriating. We managed to end up going backwards after less than a minute and we have no idea how, but we couldn't get back to going forwards without dying first xD

The ending was heartbreaking no matter which one you ended up with. There are two we were both crying at the one we got and decided to look up the other one on YouTube which was just as heartbreaking. No happy ending in this game.
