Read moreSo my girlfriend and I beat A Way Out this morning and I found it odd that the Platinum trophy was attainable about thirty minutes or so before the end of the game. I now understand why that was the case. The last section of the game throws you into a clunky, almost broken, gunfire fight, that clearly was trying to mimic the gunplay in the Uncharted games. It took Naughty Dog decades to get their shooting mechanics to be as crisp as they currently are. This game on the other hand felt like EA didn't give Hazelight Studios the budget they needed to help polish their game. I feel like things were different for It Takes Two. I personally think that if the Platinum trophy didn't unlock before the last part of the game, a huge percentage of people would've gotten frustrated and not have finished this game. The plot twist at the end was unexpected, at least to me, and the overall story was pretty good. Not as amazing as Josef Fares said it was during the Game Awards.

Well, I guess I'm moving this to the 'abandoned' folder.
Me and my wife were really enjoying the plot and characters, but she just couldn't deal with controlling the camera. The dizzyness seems something of the past, but she was still struggling with basic navigation of the scenarios: controlling Leo and the camera at the same time.

Well, I guess I'm moving this to the 'abandoned' folder.
Me and my wife were really enjoying the plot and characters, but she just couldn't deal with controlling the camera. The dizzyness seems something of the past, but she was still struggling with basic navigation of the scenarios: controlling Leo and the camera at the same time.
We reach the part when the protagonists are getting the money to go to Mexico against the villian. But she got very stressed when we were trying to rob the gas station and told me she wasn't enjoying this.
So... I'm gonna miss Vincent and Leo and move on. Maybe I'll watch the rest of the game on YouTube. We're gonna continue playing Horizon Chase Turbo, a game she loves (maybe because she wins almost every race).

This was more like an interactive movie than a game. And oh boy did the ending ever tick me off.

Just got this to play with my wife because it was very cheap.
We were liking the plot a lot. But after less than an hour she started feeling very ill. She's an avid 2D gamer, but is not used to play 3D games with camera control at all. We really want to keep playing it, but not if she's …

We were liking the plot a lot. But after less than an hour she started feeling very ill. She's an avid 2D gamer, but is not used to play 3D games with camera control at all. We really want to keep playing it, but not if she's gonna feel so bad after every session.
What can we do? Any tips?

I played with a friend, long time no see, and we enjoyed it very much.
It has minor flaws but it's ok compared to the fun we had.
Game is 4/5 but +1 for the huge entertaintment.

I heard lots of good things about this one, and that it would be best-enjoyed playing with a friend couch co-op (rather than online). I'll agree on that -- definitely play this with a friend together. You'll have a great time.

This is a game that has to be played two-players. You work together to escape a high-security prison. You solve simple puzzles, time your actions properly, find the right people to talk to, etc etc. The way the game is presented is pretty great, shifting how much space is given to each player on the split-screen depending on the assigned tasks. But overall it's basically an adventure game that felt part-Shenmue, part-Uncharted (more so in the second half, which is more action-packed). Lots of little dumb mini-games to compete against your friend with, which makes things a real hoot and a holler if you start to get competitive.
The story itself is just okay. Without spoiling too much, I'd say
