黎巴嫩电影制作人转为大胆的游戏开发者 Josef Fares 的最新作品,即Xbox One(Xbox One)的出路(A Way Out)可以称为很多东西,但可预测的可能不是其中之一。A Way Out涉及与您的犯罪伙伴在游戏和现实生活中进行的 6 小时和 37 章的激烈游戏。游戏本身巧妙地结合了情感、视觉叙事和玩几个小游戏的感觉,同时专注于建立Leo(Leo)和Vincent两个角色之间的信任和关系。
Xbox One 的出路游戏
正如它的名字一样,该游戏的特点是成功的越狱尝试,它的两个角色变成了不太可能的朋友。这就是你认为燃料耗尽的地方。迷你游戏的感觉失去了它的魅力,你开始发现它是可预测的和未煮熟的。直到(Till)你意识到它不是。因为结局让这 6 个小时成为绝对的沙发土豆完全值得。
游戏的故事(The story of the game)
他们一起越狱并试图保持领先于警察,同时一直试图找到哈维(Harvey)。在此期间,里奥(Leo)透露哈维(Harvey)在抢劫后背叛了他,并杀死了他们本应向其出售稀有珠宝Black Orlov的经销商,而里奥(Leo)因此入狱。哈维(Harvey)显然也杀死了文森特的兄弟。
在复仇情绪的推动下,角色们前往墨西哥(Mexico)寻找哈维(Harvey)。一旦他们到达他的豪宅,他们就摆脱了哈维(Harvey)的守卫,然后在让哈维交出(Harvey)黑色奥尔洛夫(Black Orlov)之后摆脱了哈维。利奥(Leo)和文森特(Vincent)随后返回美国。在这里,他们的飞机一降落就被警察包围,里奥(Leo)发现文森特(Vincent)是一名卧底警察,他想通过里奥找到(Leo)哈维(Harvey),因为他的兄弟是哈维(Harvey)被杀的毒贩。由于这种背叛,Leo绑架了文森特(Vincent),把他带到警车里,然后试图淹死他。但是文森特(Vincent)被他的飞行员朋友艾米丽(Emily)救了,艾米丽就是把他们飞到墨西哥(Mexico)的那个人。
比赛的最后时刻也许是最激烈和最激动人心的。在里奥(Leo)抓住艾米丽的枪后,两人决定自己打起来。战斗伤害了他们俩,他们失去了枪支。有一次,他们注意到他们的一把枪就在附近,他们都试图抓住它。成功的角色射杀了另一个,创造了一个苦乐参半的友谊和告别时刻,因为被枪杀的人最后一次呼吸。
游戏玩法(Gameplay)
也许游戏中最有趣的部分是它对合作功能的重视程度。A Way Out不仅仅是为了它而建立的合作社。整个游戏本身就围绕着敌人Leo和Vincent之间的构建关系展开。
同样有趣的是,尽管一开始似乎可以预测,但随着每个新的选择或角色的变化,游戏都会以微妙或重大的方式发生变化。当您切换角色时,对话和所需的操作会发生变化。随着故事/游戏的进展,角色的愿望也变得更加清晰,直到玩家开始联系。
审查(Review)
在它的众多优点中,还有其精湛的摄影技术,其中最令人难忘的是角色逃出医院的连续镜头和旋转的摄像机运动,一个角色注意守卫,而另一个角色则创造了他们的逃生路线。还有一种奇怪的满足感,可以从一起破门而入,躲避守卫,互相支持,追逐鱼,让对方用矛刺它。
在其合作分屏设置中,游戏可以说是令人愉快的,即使不是令人难忘的。不断变化的游戏风格和场景的集合将使两个玩家在竞争和合作并一起克服每一个障碍时在多个情况下保持警觉。A Way Out可在(here)(here)亚马逊上找到。
A Way Out: Xbox One game review
Lebanese filmmaker turned bold game developer Jоsef Fares’s latest creation aka A Way Out for Xbox One can be called many things, but predictable is perhaps not one of them. A Way Out involves 6 hours and 37 chapters’ worth of intense gaming with your partner-in-crime, in the game and real life. The game itself expertly combines emotion, visual storytelling and the feeling of playing several mini-games all the while focusing on building the trust and relationship between the two characters Leo and Vincent.
A Way Out game for Xbox One
True to its name, the game features a successful prison break attempt by its two characters turned unlikely friends. And this is where you would think it runs out of fuel. The mini-gameesque feeling loses its charm, and you start finding it predictable and undercooked. Till you realize that it isn’t. Because the ending is what makes the 6 hours’ of being absolute couch potatoes totally worth it.
The story of the game
Together they break out of prison and try to stay ahead of the police while trying to find Harvey the entire time. During this time, Leo reveals that Harvey betrayed him after a heist and killed the dealer they were supposed to sell a rare jewel, the Black Orlov, to and Leo went to jail for it. Harvey apparently also killed Vincent’s brother.
Fuelled by sentiments of revenge, the characters make their way to Mexico in search of Harvey. Once they reach his mansion, they get rid of Harvey’s guards and then Harvey after making him surrender the Black Orlov. Leo and Vincent then make their way back to the US. Here, their plane is surrounded by police as soon as they land and Leo finds out that Vincent is an undercover police offer who wanted to get to Harvey through Leo because his brother was the dealer Harvey killed. As a result of this betrayal, Leo kidnaps Vincent and takes him away in a cop car and afterward tries to drown him. But Vincent is saved by his pilot friend Emily who is the same person who had flown them to Mexico.
The final moments of the game are perhaps the most intense and emotional. The two decide to fight it out themselves after Leo grabs Emily’s gun. The fight injures them both, and they lose their guns. At one point, they notice one of their guns lying close by and they both try to grab it. The character that succeeds shoots the other, creating a bittersweet moment of friendship and farewell as the guy who has been shot breathes his last.
Gameplay
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the game is how seriously it takes its co-op feature. A Way Out is not a co-op just for the heck of it. The entire game itself revolves around the building relationship between the frenemies, Leo and Vincent.
What is also interesting is that despite seeming predictable at first, the game changes in subtle or major ways with each new choice or change of character. The dialogues and required actions change when you switch characters. The characters’ aspirations also become clearer as the story/game progresses till the players start to relate.
Review
Among its many saving graces is also its exquisite cinematography, with few of the most memorable one being a continuous shot of the characters’ hospital escape and the swiveling camera movement as one character watches out for guards as the other create their escape route. There is also a strange satisfaction that can be gleaned from breaking down doors together, dodging the guards while having each other’s back and chasing fish so the other can spear it.
In its co-op split screen setting, the game can be termed as being enjoyable, if not memorable. The collection of ever-changing gaming styles and scenarios will keep both players on their toes in several instances as they compete and cooperate and take down every hurdle together. A Way Out is available here on Amazon.
