A Way Out is a series of short co-op challenges strung together with story, dialogue and a little exploration. It’s a compendium of split-screen puzzles, stealth, takedowns, combat, driving, leaping and foraging.

In itself, this is impressive. Most third-person action-adventure games center on a core mechanic — usually shooting and fighting — while adding additional side tasks for the sake of variety and pacing. But A Way Out looks like an entire stew of disparate actions, an array of activities. Its only dominant exercise is running, which is appropriate for a game that’s about busting out of prison.
