A Way Out (2018)

A directed prison-break story is a smaller commitment than the studio's later adventures: plan roughly 6–8 hours rather than a long equipment grind. Checkpoints and chapter selection support a few substantial evenings, in local or online two-player split-screen. Keep the owner hosting the continuing save when using the free friend version. Both protagonists are required, so a missing partner means postponing or replaying their missed story later. Violence and adult themes make this a different sort of shared outing from a cheerful platformer.
