The Escapists 2 is like playing Prison Break, but instead of dramatic speeches and insane plot twists, you’re just a tiny pixel guy digging through a toilet. It expands on the first game in a lot of ways—bigger prisons, co-op, more ways to escape—but honestly? I think the first one had a better vibe. There was something about the simplicity of The Escapists that made every escape plan feel more rewarding. Here, it sometimes feels like there’s too much going on, and instead of breaking out like a mastermind, you’re just running around, hoping no one notices you chipping away at the wall with a plastic fork. Still, if you’ve ever wanted to live out your Prison Break fantasy—minus the terrible final seasons—this is your game.

I recommend this game. It's more for people who want to relax and get their head off of things. The game is for everyone whether you are a kid or an adult. The game doesn't have any disturbing things or some hard violence. So if you are looking for a game where you can do basically anything you want or you want to kind of relax, this game is for you! :)

FUN AS HELL!! I flipping love this game so much, fact the devs went out of their way to allow macOS support? INSANE as most steam games on my library require to be run via Whiskey (check it out its sick) and loading times aren't half bad! Plus maps are rlly challenging (not the easy or medium ones) which is sometimes a great sign for a good game! (plus i own this game on xbox, amazing to play it on my computer)

Decided to give this game a shot again after a few years not touching it.. I played The Escapist (First one) for 33 Hours, and this as of posting the review 8.2. I don't know if its because I'm used to the other but this one is missing a lot that I remember the first one having. For one being able to use your mouse. If my mouse is below my character that is where i would like to attack. You didn't have this problem in the old one as you selected who you wanted to attack and it automatically attacked. This one the attacking works different unless you push the MMB in which you have a similar lock on feature but worse. The main problem with this game is it is to easy. Weather its the scripted escapes, or giving you a secret stash in your desk, there is just too much help in this game vs The Escapist. More importantly, you don't need to follow the regime. Yes, if you don't show up you will get heat, but if you pop your head in for 2 seconds and leave you are free to roam the prison like your a citizen with no repercussions. As for the multiplayer I didn't try it recently, but from the past it was fun. However was it fun because I was playing with friends or because I was playing The Escapist 2. I'm thinking the former. In my opinion if you are wanting to play a game in "The Escapist" series, play the first one. Yes the graphics are worst if you don't like 16bit but what it lacks in graphics it gains in actual game play and proper challenge.

A big step up in the graphic department and a huge massive step down in the gameplay aspect. Everything feel very clunky and slow compare to the first game. Combat especially feel weak and not good at all. The introduction of dog is a pretty good one. A welcome one even ,until you realize you can't do anything toward those thing once they charged toward you, peak cringe

any combat situation in this game feels relatively unfair and the option of quick saves and reloading being gone just makes the experience unbearable sometimes

it just holds ur hand the whole time, theres no way to figure it out for your self or forge your own escape. it feels likep laying an endless tutorial level

Definitely recommend for cooperative gameplay and the extended mechanics from the first one. Highly recommended buy for those finding a good game for friends to play together!

I flooded JackSepticeye's Toilet and beat him up until he wouldn't speak to me. Also the game is pretty fun with friends.

Super fun. Would be nice if the building prisons menu got expanded for every item in the game and if the 8 cells requirements etc was lifted.

Pretty fun with steam workshop compatibility. If you finish the main game you can always download community made maps.

fun game but bugs tho

Escapists 2 makes me wish Survivalists was Escapists 3. This is a great game held back by its own new ideas. The new ways of escaping a prison is a cool concept that opens up new prison ideas, however it also lowers the difficulty curb. It makes the game feel a little too linear at times and escaping feels like you are just checking off a to do list. However, the game is still loads of fun. Its witty, clever, and enjoyable, even when the "pre-planned" escapes are a little too easy(looking at the vehicle prisons). Which is why I am severely disappointed that Team 17 decided to create the Survivalists instead of an Escapists 3. It could have combined the best things about this one and then first one to create a near-perfect Escapists experience. Instead we got a game largely forgotten about as soon as it released. Sad, but hey at least they gave us a prison editor. (Note: I have way more hours on console).

pretty cool puzzle game. also you can play with friends so that makes it an even better puzzle game.

A Fun game to play with friends for a few hours. I have played the original, and can say this game is a definite upgrade, and almost no bugs in co-op anymore. Worth picking up on sale, and a bunch of modded prisons that are a fun as well. Currently waiting for the Escapists 3. (Also pay the extra 40 cents for the DLC, you wont regret it!)

- Its fun to play multiplayer but its more fun and easier with friends bc a lot of the lobbies have passwords - Very good game tho - There is also occasional language barrier and some people don't talk but that's all multiplayer games fr

Game is great, I only have played one session as the infamous and well-known degenerate criminal... Clive. This pretentious wannabe hipster is quite the hooligan I must say. It is very safe to assume that his criminal record should not be shared or saved to anywhere else than it need be. In the 3 hours I have spent in the mind of Clive I have since came out a person with a twisted view on bananas and soap, hand cream has also got me pondering on nasty intimate subjects that I really shouldn't be thinking about and surprisingly I now have changed my perspective on brooms - they are sturdy and brown just like my timber from my job wink wink. Yeah anyway this game is not just a game as Ninja would once say.

The Escapists 2 is a solid strategy game that improves on its predecessor in many ways. It offers a variety of prisons, each with unique layouts and challenges, keeping the gameplay fresh. The multiplayer mode adds a fun cooperative element, making escapes more dynamic. The pixel art style is simple but charming, and the crafting system allows for creative problem-solving. However, the game can feel repetitive at times, and some mechanics may be frustrating for new players. Despite these flaws, it’s an enjoyable experience for those who like strategy and planning. Overall, it’s a good but not perfect game.

Absolutely love this game, it's funny, it's mechanics are cool, every prison has a few unique escapes. Really hope they make a third game.

NPC Inmate runs through scanner with contraband no problem. I run through scanner with contraband, Get jumped by all staff on duty. While serving my time in solitare I miss roll call **wanted again as soon as i leave solitare** Great game!

Can't play the game multiplayer without constant disconnects. I'm from ukraine and i'm pretty sure devs are pro russia. Literally unplayable. Also, chick (&dudes) inmates have no ass... basically flat. 1 out of 10 overall experience

Goated Og game. Buy when on sale. I got the 4 dlc maps for only 4 bucks. Absolutely worth it. UPDATE: Got someone else to buy it and we are completing multiplayer escapes.

Its easy! Be in prison. Told when to eat. Told when to sleep. Told when to shift. Sometimes you get to see a fight. Sometimes you are in a fight. Sometimes you cause a fight to earn extra money. Sometimes your IRL timid office worker best friend immediately resorts to brutal violence when you get him the game and constantly beats up guards and the prison is in constant lockdown. Sometimes your cell gets tossed. Sometimes you steal plastic spoons from the cafeteria to dig a tunnel. Sometimes the guards find your tunnel. Sometimes the guards beat you so badly you have to start over. Its easy! Be in prison...

Its really good for those players who love crafting and figuring out plans! i highly recommend it :]

its fun to beat up cops then take there keys and start lockdowns to annoy ur friends

So this game straight up shaped my identity. It's where I got my name and half of my online persona so maybe I'm a bit biased. But I like this thing a lot.

Strange ass game with stuff happening without you understanding why. Sometimes fun, often very frustrating.

the escapists 2 is a great game with many detailed prisons, great mechanics, and a big improvement over the first. but, the atmosphere and world building of the first game and its prisons do feel better, but this game is a lot more friendly to new players

This Game is very Silly and fun. I've played lots of across PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, so I can say that it is very good. I'd say buying the full game with DLC at full price is not worth it, but if you can find it on sale (which happens pretty often) than I'd say you'd be very pleased with it.

So far so good

Do not buy this game unless your sure you'll like it. I bought it, excited, only to realize that is was super boring and not fun at all. HIGHLY so NOT recommend and I have requested a steam support refund.

Amazing, I love leaving the game open all night by accident so I have 29 hours at writing.

So fun reminds me of jailbreak roblox but better from my childhood

Awesome game so much to do, honestly i really hope a 3rd is released.

Who doesn't love going to the infirmary each 20 seconds because someone said something you didn't like. You're free will can be released as you pummel and get pummeled. 10/10

idk if i enjoyed being beat to death by dogs but i had fun so

Tip: If you give a molten hot chocolate to your friend (left click on them with the item in hand), it will give your friend 100 energy. So if your friend is in a fight with a prisoner or another guard, hit them with the molten hot chocolate to fully replenish their energy.

It is a really enjoyable game especially with friends

The games art style is very good and its level selection allows you to come back to the game. I just wish there were more maps that weren't included in a dlc.

bro i named my character fotnite balls, amazing 10/10

The game of childhood in co-op is more interesting

amazing lots of fun with friends and by yourself

Absolutely love this game (I played this a lot on PS4 I swear).

Break out of prison. End up in prison. Break out of prison. End up in prison. Break out of prison. End up in prison. Break out of prison. End up in prison. Break out of prison. End up in prison

Fun I like beating people up type shiii

this game is a lie, i was in fact never able to escape

very cool 0-0

If you want to play a hard game that will make this game not fun anymore. Then this game is for you.
