10 Video Games With Questions You Won't Want To Answer

4. Your Job, Or Your Friend? - A Way Out

A Way Out 2

- Spoilers for A Way Out -

A game that forces you to play the whole thing in split-screen co-op, if you do so in-person with someone like a partner or best friend, that bond starts to take on a life of its own.

All of which is why - when character Vincent is revealed to be a cop looking to bring Leo in after working together to kill a mob boss - it shatters everything, setting up a final third where both heroes are on opposite sides of the thin blue line.

Brilliantly you're given ample opportunities to fight it out in-game, doubling as frantic real life conversations around whether the person playing Vincent will let Leo go, or for the latter player, fight for their life.

We can extrapolate this into everyday situations, too. In any given moment of choice, be it career-oriented or anywhere else, do you go with what will make you happy, or can you obey what's being asked?
