The Escapists 2

Just finished Area 17 and U.S.S. Anomaly and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this game is super fun. The first Escapists game felt a bit clunky and in my experience prison escapes were incredibly hard. Maybe they weren't so hard per se, but rather that the game did not communicate escape plans properly, so you would almost certainly screw up in some part unless you were reading a guide about it. They solved it all in this game. The tutorial does a superb job at explaining the main basics to escape prisons, but what really makes you get good at escaping are the brand new Transport Prisons - These prisons only last a day and you should escape them as soon as possible while avoiding the guards. Here you'll learn in real practice how to beat them up, how to craft and how to gather items to escape in real prisons. My favorite prison has got to be Rattlesnake Springs, not only I loved the whole Western style to it, but also the fact that the escape routes are super creative but not difficult. Back in the previous game you usually had to dig a long hall and keep placing supports to escape via digging. In this prison there's a whole mine beneath it, so all you have to do is to dig into the mine itself, break a few walls and you will find a tunnel that leads directly to the exit. The diffculty curve for the prisons are something that I actively complained in the previous game, and now I'm actively praising in this game - They did an incredible job. Haven't played myself with another friend but it is so damn cool that there are multiplayer escapes, not only it encourages playing the game with your friends but also it is another new route for escaping in the game. And damn, most multiplayer escapes are really thought of, like that UFO escape in Area 17! I kinda wish I could do that one escape on my own haha I would say that my only pet peeve of this game is the cringey Youtuber names that you cannot change in any way. I get it, it helps getting more people into the game but God... It breaks my immersion while I'm playing and out of a sudden a guard with the name "DiddyDisciple" appears, at least let me turn it off or something. Still, an incredible game that I recommend for just about anyone that wants a new unique experience. Prison escaping is a genre that I love, kinda wish there were more (good) games like it.

I played it with a friend, it is very funny if you have friends, alone it can be pretty boring, but it is still good though. I sometimes dropped the soap, it hurted a bit

Only fun in multiplayer but nobody really plays this game but im not hateful

pretty meh, the escapes felt a bit railroaded and it got a bit boring after our third level (we tried each difficulty and there wasn't that much difference between them)

This game is hella fun for anything you want to do, weather it's wanting to beat people up, stealth around, or speedrun.

Refunded, unplayable, game frozen when you join any map, only the timer works, cannot press any key and do anything, i don't want to pass 2 hours trying to fix something unfixable.

If u have a friend this game becomes funny but if u dont have any friends sorry dude it's fuckin' boring

Amazing game! Holds up to this day. Its like Stardew Valley but the prison version!

Very fun prison escape game, I've played for hours just wandering around and doing trades and quests just because its easy to get immersed, and the freedom with certain escapes is absolutely amazing for players who want easy ways or harder ways to escape

10/10 Gameplay loop multiplayer: upgrade strength beat up guards and keep switching off the generator, when it becomes night and your friend tells you to sleep DO NOT LISTEN you are doing the most useful thing in the game Recommend this game, spent more time in prison editor than in the actual game, Devs, update prison editor we need more (underground)floors and items, I don't want to keep having to look through the workshop to find some genius who puts posters on walls and has underground stuff

the escapist 2?? more like, more like the escapists poo OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they didn't see that one coming. Peak game.

sniping: 10/10 offline: 3/5 movement mechanics: pinkerton story: better than the godfather overall. this game chews through shit like a goddamn Badass. only level 5+ gamers may proceed.

It is a classical 10/10 game for me. So yea, fun to play alone, fun to play with friends.

Fun game to play. Creative escapes. Much better graphics than the first game. Crafting was kinda weak with most of them are useless. DLC prison does not shown inmates note in the map eventhough there are for some reason.

really nice game and even better to play with friends

Peak game, i remember myself playing this on my cellphone back in the day, very nostalgic but nowadays just keeps getting me entertained, even tho im not someone who plays these games much without friends, i surely recommend it 10/10

This game has a major issue. When I try to play with a controller, it makes a new player. I am playing single player so I do not want it to make a other player (with split screen). Can you please fix this, if you do I will change my review.

Crashing, over and over, 8 years after release with no real solution in sight. I really want to buy this game for a friend to co-op with but it's just not happening in its current state.

play fort tundra with online multiplayer and get back to me

I know this is an older game and it is very good. I played this game a while ago around when it first came out and loved it. I just recently got it on steam and I am still loving it. Very much recommended for a relaxed 2d bit strategy game.

Nowhere in any description did it mention that literally everything in this game is on a timer. A Time Management tag would have saved me from purchasing this game.

I regret buying this. I regret buying this for a friend to play with too. The controls and menus make this unbearable to play, it's just impossible to get used to, feels like it was made for mobile first. The thing is i really tried to get into this, and i felt like the game was pushing me away. please do yourselves a favor and play something else.

Way too linear. Was hoping for more of a "find your own way out" sort of game, but youre pretty stuck to escaping in one of the 1-2 ways planned by the level designer. Lost interest pretty quickly. Why have all of these neat mechanics with air vents and multiple access levels when more often than not, the escape path has nothing to do with them?

its like a 6/10 and theres no sex mods or stuff like that so it lowers the rating. fun game but i wanna kill all the dogs

This game is very good. Team 17 better make a third one at some point or we riot and storm the Eifel tower on 19th of november 2026.

this is fun game to escape prison with friends and map were better

>watch youtubers play it >finally buy it years later >boring as sh*t >sits in backlog

idk steam told me to make this, its a good game, try it if you want to, its up to you

i've known this game for years and it's still the best jail break game

fun game but im shit 35 hours and i still didnt beat it fully (All that for no stun...)

You prison, have to escape. escape good. me like beat up but not when me beat up, then me sad.

Very fun. I can kill people and get away with it, 10/10.

coolio game. very underrated.

im ass but very fun also give me free steam credits

Ты никогда не сможешь сбежать из Саратова...

This game makes me want to get arrested and try it IRL

Its good practice for when your older

step 1: get key step 2: escape prison step 3: download escapest 2

Absolute peak gaming 10 out of 10 Blythe is my GOAT

The prison editor and DLCs exist. Need I say more?
