My son is moving out – but we had time to play one last game | Dominik Diamond

What better final bonding experience than a video game about a prison break before heading off to uni?

My son Charlie leaves home in a few weeks. He will be 3,000 miles away. My heart is breaking. I decide we need one more formative games playing experience. Something we can bond over, that will maybe teach him a few life lessons along the way.

A Way Out (PS4, Windows, Xbox One) is a two-player co-op game that has you trying to escape from a prison. It sounds like a perfect father-son activity. Five minutes in, my son's character is naked, being most aggressively hosed down after an inmate tells him: You think I'm a pussy? I fuck people up." Understandably, I'm wondering whether this will be the light, fun bonding experience I'd hoped for.
