Review
Yep, you guys saw the title. We are going to be reviewing this game. OK, let's start. First off, A Way Out is quite a creative game. It is very original and I like the whole split screen sort of thing. However there are some cons. As a result of the split screens, people speak over each other in different screens and sometimes can create problems of not being able to hear the lines of the characters. There are also a lot of swearing. I mean it's a prison game, but even by 18+ standards, it has a lot of swearing words. It is very fun, but there are sometimes technical issues. Apart from that this is a very fun game.
