    Escape Plan absolutely reeks of nonsense and humor, which is exactly what you'd expect from a team partially comprised of the squad that brought PlayStation Network gamers Fat Princess.

    Escape Plan for PlayStation 4 is a surprisingly good porting of its handheld counterpart with a new control system which is probably not very pristine but also more responsive and sometimes less infuriating.

    With its improved controls, Escape Plan is now criminally good value for money. [February 2014, p81]

    Escape Plan’s memorable puzzles are wrapped up in a unique presentation, but once you finish the 3 hour campaign there's not much of a reason to comeback.

    The charming puzzle concept still is there, but without the touch surfaces of the Vita it loses some of its appeal.

    Since it's a direct conversion of the Playstation Vita game, the only thing that's really different or new it's the way you play. And still, it's not comfortable. If you put your hands on the game with your PS Vita, you probably won't be eager to play it again on PS4.

    Escape Plan has come to the PlayStation 4, but it fails to make the transition cleanly. The puzzles are dull and the controls are ill fitted to the new system. I wouldn't recommend playing Escape Plan, but if you absolutely must make sure it's the Vita version.

    The game is just lovely, artistic and fun at the same time. Gameplay it's not very hard, but even if you a hardcore gamer you will be hooked up for sure.

    The whole design it's a tribute to cinéma so film lovers will be delighted when discovering that you can dress up Lil just like Death at Ingmar Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal', for instance.

    Music in the game it's just beautiful and puts you in a very special mood when playing Escape Plan.

    I don't know how come this game gets 7.2 when other **** just-plain-shooting-things games are getting over 90. I want more games like Escape Plan, that is, more ART and less Bang Bang.    … Expand

The PS4Having owned Escape Plan on the Vita, I was allowed to download a free copy of Escape Plan on my PS4. The Game is pretty fun. The PS4 controller does an excellent job in addressing the touchscreen heavy gameplay of Escape Plan. Not worth the full $15 but pick it up if it falls down to $10.… Expand

The levels are really short but there are a lot of them. Some elements are annoying because this game was mean to be played on a touch screen. You have to be fast with the cursor. I haven't finish it yet but plan to. The puzzles aren't complicated and this can be a good game for young family. Some may say there is a gore factor but it amounts to no more than a splatter when one of the characters die. Its all black and white and no blood.

    I made the mistake of buying the add ons at the same time. Though I plan to finish it all, I would recommend against it as you may get tired of the game.    … Expand

    The game has great artistic direction :nice black and white graphics, design that made me think to Spirited Away (from Miyazaki) and awesome music that puts you in the mood. Great achievement on that point, but concerning the game itself it's really short (3 hours) and easy and I think that having puzzles to the right difficulty is the most important thing in puzzle games, but at least we've got a good use of the Dualshock 4 capacities. Concerning the story, it's very basic and will not create any passion.
    In a nut shell my eyes and ears were pleased playing Escape Plan but not my brain, also too expensive for the length.    … Expand

It's not necessarily bad to have wood as your characters in your game as soon as you make the game itself interesting, and that really is up to the user.

    I, myself, didn't enjoy the game for too long as it simply got boring after a while. I can still, however, acknowledge that it's definitely not a bad game at all. it's good to pick up randomly sometimes and play through minute-long puzzle levels whenever you feel like it, and the game gives you that as an option as it knows it's made for short-term entertainment.    … Expand
