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

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.    … Expand

    great puzzle game that you can solve as in single player mode as in coop. game offers huge amount of different types of puzzles so you don't meet identical one (at least on the one floor). interest art style and sound effects is also can be treated as small plus.

    Gran juego de puzzles. Muy buen control con ratón y teclado. Los puzzles tienen un nivel de dificultad que no se hacen ni muy difíciles ni muy fáciles.

    Escape Academy is far from a stellar title, but it’s enjoyable if appreciated for what it is. The creators have released a “road map” for future updates and DLC, which is always nice to see. Would-be purchasers may take heart in knowing that there’s more life to be injected if escape room puzzle solving evokes an interest. As for me, I’ll quietly look forward to these updates, but I’m in no way chomping at the bit.

    Escape Academy achieves much of what it sets out to do. Giving players and whenever possible, their co-op partners, the authentic escape room experience, cutting away the frustrations of real-life escape attempts, and focusing our attention on finding connections and solving puzzles instead. There is much satisfaction to be had whenever a tough puzzle is cracked, and while the narrative is barely needed, the effort made to add more color to the world is much appreciated, creating an overall package that truly brings to life what escape rooms are all about.

    A very pleasant surprise in the current summer indie offer. The game brings relaxation, logical challenges and adds tension in one package. If you like puzzle games or escape room games, you should not miss it.
