Game
You play as two criminals that decide to break out of prison. Will you be able to succeed and escape the justice system?
Swedish film director Josef Fares returns with his second game and the result is a game dedicated to two-player coop. The gameplay is quite entertaining, but you can clearly tell that a movie director has made the game. The story, voice-acting and the cinematic touch to the cutscenes make the storyline come to life in a way we haven't seen before.
Playtime isn't very long and the replayability low, but this is something we haven't seen before and we want more.
Co-op
Josef Fares and Hazelight studio has created a marvelous coop experience where the game can only be played in coop.
The publisher EA made a wonderful decision when releasing the game. Only one of the players need to buy the game. The other player can then download a free client version of the game and play it without buying it.
The game is always played in a two-player split-screen. Even if you play online on Windows. This feels different and a bit exciting at first. But it also destroys the replayability cause you have seen everything that occurred for the other character.
