Aug 23, 2017I put in about 113 hours on the first one on Xbox and felt like they were trying to expand the game a lot here. It's good if you played the first one, but probably better if you didn't. The only thing I would say is wait to pick it up in a Steam sale if you own Escapists, and buy it now if you don't own the first game.

Sep 19, 2020A decent improvement to the original game with even better soundtracks, prison features, and escape methods. Unfortunately, the experience is made much worse (on PC) with the countless bugs, lag, connectivity issues, and multiplayer action delay.

Jan 11, 2018The Escapists 2 expands the idea of the original title and goes beyond; it packs a lot of prisons from which we can find some original and sometimes funny ways of escape. And this time, we can bring friends to the party, since it has cooperative and versus modes.

Sep 27, 2017I never sat down with The Escapists 2 without smiling. Even during its rough first hours, its personality and a keen sense of humor kept me going. And as you discover its layers of challenge, intrigue, and variety, you'll be hooked. By turning the routine into a steady and engaging flow of progress, and by spicing things up with historical and fantastical locations, The Escapists 2 gets tremendous mileage out of its premise. Then you have the online, which is mildly problematic yet brimming with life and new ways to experience the game. You may be serving time in jail, but The Escapists 2 will ensure that you won't feel guilty about it. Now excuse me, I think I've earned some kind of punishment for that awful wordplay.
