Salary Man Escape has some flaws, but it offers plenty of gameplay time for the money, The controls take some adjusting to, but there’s definite satisfaction to be found from mastering it, particularly as you advance up into the later and more complex levels.
A fun VR-puzzler which offers a lot of value for money. The game's theme combined with relatively simple graphics and some overly happy J-Pop songs simply work. The early levels are far too easy and severely underestimate the player. When the difficulty ramps up, the game improves significantly. Tracking doesn't work well for the motion controller option which makes the DualShock 4 the preferred way to play. Which is a shame because it feels less natural.

Good concept and it reminds me of lemming and tumble VR. Levels are challenging and the Enemies's part really surprised me.

Salary Man Escape brings good puzzle mechanics and playing time. Unfortunately, virtual reality implementation ends in itself.
If the concept of Salary Man Escape’s brand of slider puzzles sounds like it scratches an itch, and you don’t mind suffering from genuinely difficult setups, you’ll likely learn to look past the faults in favor of sticking it to your virtual corporate masters.
Between the player and the pleasure of the puzzles always remains an obstacle, something that inevitably ruins the gaming experience.
Salary Man Escape is an interesting idea for a puzzle game, but its execution ends up being more along the lines of the very drudgery that it tries to parody, rather than the escape that video games promise.
Salary Man Escape is a competent puzzler that has a decent amount of fun to offer when things are going your way, but when that enjoyment partly relies on physics outside of your control, it’s easy for frustration to creep in when the going gets tough. Add that to the fact that the game lacks a definitive control method thanks to flaws in both motion and the traditional controller, and you can’t be blamed for looking for an alternative experience.
I tried out Salary Man Escape yesterday. I can say it is a very challenging game and had to go over and over again to accomplish some episodes but I really love the idea and mechanics of the game. So I will definitely keep playing it. Btw coin collecting part is one of my favourites!

The game has a retrospective but also refreshing soundtrack. I’m picking up the game for the music mainly (I’m bad at puzzle games anyway). The early stages are easy but it gets pretty tough in later stages, which i feel frustrating but might be pleasing to some hardcore puzzle gamers.

Bought this game during the sale. Really loved the music, provides a kind of funky contrast to the entire feeling of the game. The levels started out very simple but got hard pretty fast. It would be cool if the devs did even more with the entire satire concept though, and integrate it more with the gameplay.

Pomineme-li mírně nepříjemné ovládání, můžeme Salary Man Escape prohlásit za vcelku povedenou Puzzle hru, jejíž lokalizace na PS VR jí dodává na zajímavosti a unikátnosti. Při nějaké lákavé slevě se tak může jednat o dobrého kandidáta na pozici ve vaší knihovně. Český web GamePress, Jiří Morávek

the puzzle is a lot of high difficulty and very hard to solve, so make sure you are okay of that
