With the PS5 just around the corner, many of us are now staring at our beloved PS4s with the longing, contemplative eye of an owner staring at a terminally ill pet. You know the clock is ticking, and despite its many, many years, it’s simply time. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of fun to be had on the console that’s served us well, and plenty of games for you, your friend, or your significant other to enjoy one last hurrah with before the year is out and the PS4 flame is snuffed out for good.

In an age where split-screen has become the exception rather than the rule, A Way Out is literally designed for 2 players. That's right, you literally cannot play it solo even if you wanted to. You basically need a friend to play the game.

A Way Out follows two convicted criminals, Leo and Vincent, as they escape from prison and go on the run from the authorities. Every step of the game relies on teamwork and coordination — and is one of the best ways to strengthen (or ultimately destroy) a relationship with a friend or partner.
