The Escapists Critic Reviews and Review Scores

Recommended
It may have its minor frustrations but there's nothing here that really spoils what is an otherwise delightful and endlessly surprising game. It won't be for everyone, especially those who are unwilling to meet the game halfway and learn through trial and error, but those who welcome its open-ended challenge will find that a long stretch inside proves surprisingly enjoyable.

The Escapists makes breaking out of prison as hard as nails, yet soft as taffy.

Escaping prison should be more exciting than this. Strategizing is fun, but the amount of repetition gets tiresome
