With a gorgeous soundtrack and its sublime design Escape Goat 2 is the kind of 2D puzzle platformer that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside - like a mug of hot tea with a jam crumpet.
An impressive old-fashioned 2D platformer with puzzles that's capable of preparing four hours of entertainment using just the fundamental formulas. Even though the overall impression is somewhat crimped by the game's small budget, within the "play the goat" genre it definitely lasts longer than its relatives.
There is really nothing original in this game, but it fulfills its duty to entertain us, make us think and, ultimately, have fun. To put it simple, this game does what every good puzzle-platformer should always do.
There's nothing especially unique about Escape Goat 2 aside from its protagonist, but it thrives due to its masterful execution of puzzles, simple controls, and a kind learning curve.
