The Escapists 2

really unfun compared to the first one. texture look nice but gameplay is annoying with most escapes being locked behind multiplayer.

it is really fun with other players

This happened to my buddy Eric once

Absolute classic of a game!

probably good. i kinda found it a little confusing and lost in someway. if i know what i am doing then it would be fun

IT IS A REALY FUN GAME BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE FRENS ME SPEL BAD I NOW

It's one of those games where you suddenly feel the urge to play and after a long good run you never touch it for a long time. It has good amount of replayability but after a while gameplay becomes too repetitive, for most of the escapes you mostly repeat the "steal something banned, hide it before lockdown, survive the lockdown and keep repeating until you got the item you need" cycle. It's fun but after a while it just turns into a game of patience. If you proceed slow enough for every step there's very little chance of failing.

Still, it's a good game for what it is and one of the better coop experiences in this genre.

It's a good game to play alone and a great game to play with friends! The multiplayer is such a wonderful experience when your fellow inmates are doing diddy jokes and threatening to touch you in the showers.

The built-in controller support doesn't work on all types of controllers, and actively conflicts with Steam Inputs controller support. This is apparently a long-running problem for the game that didn't exist at launch. There's also no way to disable multiplayer for an ensured single-player playthrough.

If you buy this with intent to use controllers, test it right away to ensure you can get a refund if it doesn't work.

Its a very good game, but if you plan to play alone buy at your own risk! i just experienced that its way more fun with friends! Recommended

I cannot find a fucking spring. FUCK

Had to carry this DEADWEIGHT called Qluto, Pluto or something like that cause he zero iq, zero strength, no materials and relied on me to do everything part of the game for him like a TODDLER

I HATE HAVING TO USE MY BRAIN but this game makes it fun

The Escapists 2 is a masterclass in creative problem-solving. I love how it transforms the rigid routines of prison life into a thrilling sandbox of strategy and humor. Each prison is a complex puzzle, and every escape plan feels like a personal triumph.

The game's top-down pixel art style is charming, and the expanded crafting system offers a plethora of tools and contraptions to aid your escape. Whether you're tunneling under walls, disguising yourself, or orchestrating distractions, the possibilities are vast. The addition of multiplayer—both local and online—elevates the experience, allowing you to collaborate or compete with friends in your quest for freedom.

🔓 Why I love it:
✔️ Intricate prison designs with multiple escape routes
✔️ Robust crafting system with diverse tools and gadgets
✔️ Engaging multiplayer modes for cooperative or competitive play
✔️ Humorous scenarios and quirky inmate interactions
✔️ High replayability with varied prison settings

If you're a fan of strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and a touch of humor, The Escapists 2 is a must-play. I absolutely love it. (played on different device)

Yes but the map editor is as a peice of junk its still fun to use though

This is one of the most diverse games I've ever seen... Oh, I know why now.

Way more into pretending to be an actual inmate then I am trying to escape the facility.

3 hours of running around beating the hell out of connor. FUCK CONNOR BRO OH MY GOD RATTING BITCH

its cool and all but it gets kinda repetetive

if you want to 100% the game but don't have someone to play in multiplayer with there's a great mod on nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/theescapists2/mods/2

Review for The Escapists 2 (Steam)
🕹️ Playtime: 50+ hours
👍 Rating: Very Positive

"Escape from prison, or get caught trying – the perfect mix of strategy, humor, and planning."

The Escapists 2 takes the prison escape genre to a whole new level. It’s a perfect mix of strategy, humor, and creativity, where your goal is to break out of various prisons. The game gives you freedom to plan your escape however you like, whether through digging tunnels, crafting tools, or causing distractions – but you'll need to be careful not to get caught by the guards!

The multiplayer mode makes it even more fun, allowing you to team up with friends and escape together. The variety of prisons, tasks, and ways to escape keeps the game fresh and exciting, and the art style adds a quirky charm.

Pros:

Great mix of strategy, creativity, and humor

Tons of ways to escape, with multiple approaches for each prison

Fun and challenging multiplayer mode

Quirky art style and lots of personality

Regular updates and new content keep the game fresh

Cons:

Can be repetitive in longer play sessions

Some of the prison layouts can be frustrating

AI can be a little unpredictable at times

If you’re looking for a game where you can use your brain to escape from prison, The Escapists 2 is a blast. Whether solo or with friends, the thrill of planning and executing your escape never gets old. 🏃‍♂️🚔🔓

I open door with red key, blud cannot get through the door

10/10

Used to play the crap out of this game in my old Xbox days. Honestly? Game is goated as hell. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a fun time with their mates.

Really Good, some ass mechanics, but good

10/10 very realistic, the police will do anything to beat you up

Riddled with bugs that were left unfixed after SEVEN years. Unplayable at times. Frustrating.

Modern classic, love going over and beating the bullocks off of CinnamonToastKen and pinning all my contraband on him

Don't leave me, baseball bat with nails in it.

Also they spelt Halberd wrong. Halbard lmfao.

Really fun game with great music, 5 stars.

Its definitely interesting, and I have a lot of respect local coop games, but outside of being with friends the gameplay is really stale. Maybe get it on sale if your into the concept.

I have put many more hours into this then what is recorded on Steam, as I have it on every gaming setup I own. The game is easy to understand, and has a lot of content to go through. The game is fun and replayable, with a lot of different ways to escape each prison, making for a lot of things you can go back and do. I would recommend mulitplayer very highly, as this game lends itself very well to chaos that only more then one person could cause.

The crafting system is simple and well thought-out, though on occasion you will be stuck searching for one item for way too long. Getting money in the game is simple, either through getting a job or quests. The quests range from very easy to more difficult, and some require you to know the schedule of the prison well.

The movement of the guards can be memorized, however on occasion one will stray from this movement, and if you are in the middle of an escape that can be deeply frustrating. Otherwise, an enjoyable game.

Good escape game and good level design just a little to hard sometime but you can figure it out

Bought this game in the latest discount, and it's very good! lots of prisons, the npcs have more interactions, the chats are funny, there's multiplayer, and extremely better than the old version. Wouldn't pay the full price on this, though. Still, I recommend this to people willing to do so.

the maps the game itself makes can be mid, but the fan made ones can be so fun

great game, very fun, but it's very annoying that some achievements need multiple people when your a loner who wants to 100% the game

Really fun game. I've 100% completed it on mobile, switch, xbox, and epic games. I think it's nice to refresh and replay it after a year or two of not touching it. Speedruns and challenge runs make this game engaging and fun for the experienced players, while the newbies solve intimidating puzzles and execute glorious escape plans for that adrenaline rush that is escaping prison. Amazing stuff, I will always recommend it for those looking for a fun single-player or co-operative multiplayer experience.

It was ok, got a bit tired with it but it can be pretty fun if you're into this kinda genre

Very nice game. It runs on my computer that isn't very strong. Anyway, the developers made good use of pixelated characters and objects and made such a good concept made It all a fantastic game. Also, I made it on time to buy the whole bundle in a huge discount, that dropped the price down to 6 euros.

06/10, I was coerced into buying this game by some friends because it was on sale. This style of puzzle game isn't usually my thing, but as I'd heard about it a few years ago and had seen some gameplay at the time, I decided to give in and give it a go.
It's a great game, I loved the pixel art and the character customisation, there are great touches of humour throughout the game, the prison themes are interesting, the difficulties are perfectly described and all the mechanics of the routines, the wanted level stars, the skill levels, getting items and crafting, etc. are very well done. Playing multiplayer also provided plenty of funny moments with my friends.
The ways of escaping in general are quite creative, even if they do get repetitive at times. Just like the multiplayer escape mechanisms.
I know there are ways in the game to receive clues about the ways to escape, but in my opinion, it's too time consuming. Exploring the map, finding a job or completing tasks to get money and asking for a tip on the phone is painful.
I'm an overachiever and I like to play every game I buy 100% hahha.
In the end I got bored because, as I mentioned, it's not my kind of game and it turned out to be just a speedrun to platinum by following tutorials because I didn't want to spend too much time on the normal ways of discovering the 3 or 4 different methods to escape in each prison, which ended up affecting the grade I decided to give it, not that it's completely the game's fault as I mentioned, but yea, it was nice overall.

super fun sandbox game! I just wish it worked. glitchiest game I've ever played, sometimes the buttons don't work and you cant open doors or buy items from shops, even though it acts like it worked! reloading the game fixes the problem but it also resets all your stats and inventory, so if you were playing multiplayer, you're now completely useless! just wish a six year old game actually worked on my gaming rig, disappointing. 2/10

da escapwists is about da escapers when dey try and escape da escape lands its a little bitty like cops and robbers when they shoplift and hogger and now i am alcohol free call me sobber (sobah for short NOT to be confused with soda for short) and i am drinking a soddering iron right now and soldering my iron post silk touch era (circa 2006) anywayyyy hi :3

Best game to make me ragequit after farming resources for 1 and a half hours to die to an npc for no reason while having everything i needed to escape

just bought this game on steam after playing on console for a while, still amazing, never gets old, i guarantee youll enjoy it

Top tier game in general. I only bought this on PC cause of the map customizer, but it needs more options.

This game is super fun to play with friends. I love connecting my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to play on my own. This game is perfect for playing on my own or with others.

I love the custom editor, but PLEASE for the love of god add the ability to make your own room/area presets, or the ability to copy and paste an entire area or room I BEG OF YOU

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

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
