10 Boss Fights That Play TOTALLY Different To Their Games

7. The Final Twist - A Way Out

I’ve been vague on the title here so if you don’t want to be spoiled by the ending of A Way Out, you can bail now. It’s pretty good, I don’t want to ruin it. Go on, I’ll see you at Number 6.

Alright, for the rest of you, A Way Out is another narrative spectacular from Hazelight, a studio you probably know from the stunning Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons or the more recent It Takes Two. A Way Out fills a sorely lacking niche as a genuine split-screen co-op story based action adventure, with each player taking control of one of the two main characters, Vincent and Leo. You break out of prison together, sneak around, play minigames, engage in the narrative, and so on. There’s little in the way of combat as you’ll be figuring things out far more than participating in shootouts.

That is until the end, where, surprise! You’re in a 1v1 third person shooter. Good luck!

Yep, all that cooperation and hard earned knowledge of the mechanics is pretty useless now as it’s revealed you’re not on the same side at all and now you’re hustling around a roof with an AK like it’s a COD match trying to take out your buddy before he takes you out.

Then you’ll need to smack each other in the face through quick time events and then tap your little heart out to get to the gun lain between you first where you’ll shoot your co-op partner, win the game that you just found out was a competition, and try not to spend the rest of the night in an argument.
