    Former GameMaster Jess geeks out way too hard at Jeff Grubb, teaching him the ropes of escape rooms! [Quick look]

    A fantastic co-op brainteaser that's perfect material for catch-ups and corporate days. Seriously, replace team-bonding sessions with a puzzle-tower and you're golden.

    Escape Academy is short, and it is a touch too easy. But I think its presentation and attempt to tell a story is something special that other similar puzzle games haven’t tapped yet. And for a paltry $20, it’s definitely a great way to spend a summer afternoon.

The plot is not outstanding, but sometimes it can be fun enough. and probably that it, its good game in case that core feature is crafted very well (i mean puzzles) and you can solve with your friend so why dont try this one ?… Full Review »

    Straight to the point: I LOVED this game, beginning to end. This is what video games SHOULD be.

It's a game for a specific audience: People who like puzzles and "escape rooms". It is not for anyone else. There is no "good story", there are no "great graphics!", there is NOTHING to try to convince people outside it's audience to play the game. And because of that, it is all killer and zero filler. I had top fun from the beginning to the end.

    My ONLY complain that keeps it from being a perfect score is that it's NOT "Portal 2". It's not a game that goes the extra mile to be legendary. It's great. It's not legendary.

    Kudos to the developers.    … Full Review »
