Cooperative role-playing game in which two players escape from prison together and experience a cinematic story full of action and excitement ATTENTION! ONLY BUY IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND, THIS IS NOT A SOLO GAME! ✅Well-designed screen split between players ✅Good graphics made with Unreal Engine 4 ✅Co-op gameplay without the need to buy two copies of the game (One person just needs to buy it and the other can play via Remote Play Together) ✅Lots of mini-games during the story (bench press, dips, darts, basketball, baseball, etc.). For me, the best mini-game is keeping your balance in a wheelchair XD ✅Very diverse characters. Vincent is a calm person who prefers to negotiate, while Leo is an impulsive person who prefers forceful solutions ✅During the game, there will be several moments where you will have to decide whether to choose Leo's or Vincent's approach, but this has no impact on the final storyline ✅In the game, you can interact with a huge number of characters. Even with the same person, two players can approach them and the dialogue will be slightly different. There are also mini-tasks that you don't have to complete, such as repairing a motorbike ✅Very good soundtrack that perfectly emphasises the atmosphere of each scene, from moments where the characters have to talk quietly to very dynamic races where a lot is happening ✅The game offers us great variety. We have QTE sequences, escaping from prison and from the police, searching houses, driving a car and shooting. Everything is here. ✅Wide variety of locations, from a dark prison we have to escape from to beautiful nature where we light a fire and sit with a friend, and later through a dark forest in Mexico ✅Very engaging storyline of our two heroes, Vincent and Leo, who do not trust each other at first, but after a few shared ideas and escaping from prison, they begin to trust each other and would stand up for each other ✅The ending is very interesting and surprising for us ✅The price is okay if two people buy it, because the game shouldn't cost £30 for 6 hours of gameplay (I have over 10 because I played with two people) ✅❌ The game is very linear, so I don't know whether to consider this an advantage or a disadvantage; each player must decide for themselves (I like games that focus heavily on the storyline ❌Poor shooting system, imprecise shooting (I played on a gamepad and found this to be the case, as did my friend who played on a keyboard) ❌The AL of the opponents during shooting also turned out to be very poor, because the opponent was standing literally 3 metres away from me and was shooting at my ally who was standing much further away ❌Another point I will mention about shooting is why I can't shoot at a dead person :D ❌In the game, you can't see our characters running at all ❌I don't know if it was supposed to be like that, but I didn't like the fact that when we were at the airport, we could hear ‘airplanes approaching’ in the background, but in reality, no planes arrived ✅✅✅✅ Verdict: Very Bad , Bad , Average , Decent , Good , Very good , Excellent , Masterpiece If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer them. All reviews are my own!! Best regards, King Viking Bezimienny, Polish Game Reviewer

Story makes no sense if you think about it. Seriously, don't do it, you'll go crazy. Still fun as hell to play with a buddy or partner.

I had an unforgettable cinematic experience playing this game with my sister. It delivered countless exciting and emotional moments that kept us hooked from start to finish. The ending, in particular, was truly unpredictable and left a lasting impression. Kudos to Hazelight for creating such a masterpiece! If I had to point out one downside, it would be the lack of a running option in several sections, which sometimes made the pacing feel slower than it should. Aside from that, everything else was exceptional!
