The Escapists 2 Reviews
Once past the inital hurdle of learning the game and its myriad intricacies, The Escapists 2 offers a solid prison break vibe that lets you explore and try out multiple grand (or subtle!) escape plans in a solid variety of prisons. The addition of a fun multiplayer experience, much requested by fans of the original, is icing on the cake.
The Escapists 2 offers gamers a chance to be creative in the way they approach challenges, and in the sequel you have a chance to tackle challenges with friends. It can feel a bit grindy, but that’s very much intentional considering it’s meant to reflect the life of a convict trying to slip out.
Fancy living out your Great Escape fantasies? Or maybe you reckon Alcatraz was for wimps? Either way The Escapists 2 is here to allow you to do just that as the prison escape sim returns, and this time you get to being a friend to do time with you.
For the amount of content and replayability that you get, The Escapist 2 is a fantastic game for new and old players, it’s a really fun puzzle game with a unique RPG twist and offers bags of fun for a reasonable price.
When it comes to movements and fluidity, nothing to say is really very good; the only "flaw" is perhaps the difficulty in using mouse and keyboard and, in this regard, even on PC we recommend that you take advantage of the pad. For the rest there are really good improvements compared to the first chapter, a lot of limitations less and better care of the mechanics and the technical level. Really good also the introduction of the multiplayer that gives that extra touch to the game, though perhaps, could have been slightly more cautious, especially in Versus mode. Generally, however, a great job, you must buy if you like this genre, even in relation to the low sale price!
