* A Meta example: On April 13, 2018 (which incidentally, was a [[ThirteenIsUnlucky Friday]]), Hazelight Studios announced that ''A Way Out'' sold over ''1 million copies in just over two weeks!'' This is especially incredible, considering its release came after the financial firestorm that surrounds Creator/ElectronicArts' prior release ''VideoGame/{{Star Wars Battlefront II|2017}}'', which added yet another mark on their already bad reputation; as well as their claim that narrative-driven, single-player or co-op games won't sell well. Instead, this game completely blew the expectations out of the water!

* The high speed chase scene from the police involves the two in a ute, with Vincent driving while Leo sits in the back with a shotgun shooting at the pursuing police cars. It is every bit as epic as it sounds.

* The {{Oner}} for the hospital escape section. It is directed impeccably.

to:

* Despite Leo being a convicted criminal on the run, he's [[HappilyMarried a devoted family man]] who knows a thing or two about marriage, showing that he's really not so bad of a person.
** During the trailer park section, the player can have Leo help a woman find her cheating husband, who's having loud sex with another woman about a few trailers away. It feels satisfying to go snitch on him, then listen to the woman having her revenge with a [[BatterUp baseball bat]].
** In the city level, you can have Leo encounter a girl who's arguing with her boyfriend for cheating on her with her best friend. One of the dialogue options is to have Leo make the boyfriend apologize for his cheating.
** When Leo encounters a woman who tries to flirt with him, he gently turns her down since he still loves Linda.
** When Vincent gets a call about his wife Carol going into labor, Leo ''immediately'' drops their plan to kill Harvey and takes him to the hospital where Carol is giving birth so he could see his baby daughter. And when Vincent mentions his marriage problems, Leo suggests that he write an apology letter, because that's what helped him and Linda when they started falling out.
* If you succeed in playing a ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''-like minigame in the barnyard level, you're rewarded with a cutscene where Vincent and Leo perform a beautiful country song together on the piano and banjo, respectively. It makes you wonder how they managed to play music so awesomely.
* The {{Oner}} for the hospital escape section. It is fast, action-paced, and directed impeccably.

* The chase against [[GetBackHereBoss Ray]], one of Harvey's henchmen, takes place high up at a construction site. Ray will try ''everything'' to derail Leo and Vincent, throwing construction material in their paths, escaping over impossible routes, and even attacking them. It's both awesome and thrilling; doubly so for Leo, [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes who's shown to be afraid of heights]].



* [[spoiler: During the ending chase sequence, one moment has Leo and Vincent's bikes crossing paths over ramps as the jeeps chasing them crash, creating an epic scene where the bikes and jeeps are flying on both player's screens across each other.]]

There’s several examples. It’s not original.


* The final confrontation between [[spoiler:Leo and Vincent. The sole idea of fighting against your co-op buddy who you've been spending the entire game playing with is not only unique, but absolutely ''genious''. Even if the whole ordeal is incredibly sad, it's still an awesome moment of video game originality.]]
** Not very original since it's DoubleDragon did it first, but it pulled it off much better and far more emotionally.
