    Escape Simulator 2 is another winning set of fun rooms with a promising future for much, much more, bolstered by major improvements. It’s a great time experienced solo, but especially some of the best multiplayer puzzling around.

    Escape Simulator 2 is a charming co-op puzzler packed with atmosphere, clever challenges, and endless community content. Some bugs and rough matchmaking hold it back, but for 17 bucks, it’s a surprisingly rich escape room experience, especially with friends you don’t mind yelling at.

    Featuring 12 levels over three distinct themes, Escape Simulator 2 has plenty of content at launch, with every level being brilliantly designed and filled with clever, challenging puzzles. For those who want more, there's a level designer and the option to play community-created levels, so there's potentially endless content here. A bargain for £14.99/$19.99.
