Ep 13. A Way Out

Game critic Yahtzee Crowshaw brings his trademark wit and humor to the 13th episode of Zero Punctuation season 12, titled "A Way Out." In this episode, he takes a look at the co-op multiplayer game by Hazelight Studios.

As with all Zero Punctuation episodes, Crowshaw uses his fast-talking, sarcastic style to deliver a quick and humorous rundown of the game. He starts off by describing the game as "adorable" and "just precious," mocking its heartwarming storyline about two friends trying to escape from prison together.

However, Crowshaw notes that the gameplay isn't quite as cute and cuddly as the story might suggest. Instead, A Way Out is a gritty, violent game that requires careful coordination and communication between the two players. Crowshaw points out that the game's split-screen perspective can be disorienting at times, but also praises it for providing a unique way to experience multiplayer gaming.

Throughout the episode, Crowshaw highlights some of the game's more frustrating elements, such as its clunky controls and tedious mini-games. He also notes that the game's many plot twists and surprises can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how invested players are in the story.

Despite its flaws, Crowshaw ultimately finds A Way Out to be a fun and engaging game that offers a unique co-op experience. He praises the game's inventive use of split-screen and its commitment to delivering a gripping narrative, all while poking fun at its more over-the-top moments.

As always, Crowshaw's review is filled with hilarious observations and witty one-liners. Fans of his unique brand of criticism won't want to miss this episode of Zero Punctuation season 12.
