Jul 27, 2018With a unique presentation unlike anything I’ve seen before in gaming, Salary Man Escape creates its own singular vision of workplace hell. But with frustrating controls and a bordering-on-broken physics model, the stellar puzzle design is lost in a mire of irritation and exasperation. If I wanted to feel stressed, I would just go to work.

Jul 20, 2018Salary Man Escape brings good puzzle mechanics and playing time. Unfortunately, virtual reality implementation ends in itself.
-
Jul 19, 2018We’re still wondering why Salary Man Escape is a VR game. But that’s not a real problem. Tricky physics and useless and an annoying timer are one. Nonetheless, there are actually some good puzzles in that game.
-
Aug 8, 2018Salary Man Escape VR is a quite original and engaging, flawed by some annoying control issues.

Jul 27, 2018If the concept of Salary Man Escape’s brand of slider puzzles sounds like it scratches an itch, and you don’t mind suffering from genuinely difficult setups, you’ll likely learn to look past the faults in favor of sticking it to your virtual corporate masters.
-
Jul 13, 2018The idea behind Salary Man Escape is interesting and the puzzles are well crafted, but the graphical design of the game is bland and boring and the music awful. But, overall, it’s a decent puzzle game that will keep you squeezing your mind for a few hours.

Jul 19, 2018Between the player and the pleasure of the puzzles always remains an obstacle, something that inevitably ruins the gaming experience.
-
Jul 16, 2018Salary Man Escape is a great puzzle game ruined by its useless VR integration.
-
Jul 11, 2018Salary Man Escape is an interesting idea for a puzzle game, but its execution ends up being more along the lines of the very drudgery that it tries to parody, rather than the escape that video games promise.
-
Sep 27, 2018If you're not put off by the game's stark minimalism and brainbusting puzzles, then Salary Man's unique charms may well be right up your alley but gamers looking for a puzzle game with a more casual appeal, and perhaps more of a sense of fun, might want to look elsewhere.
-
Jul 6, 2018Salary Man Escape is a competent puzzler that has a decent amount of fun to offer when things are going your way, but when that enjoyment partly relies on physics outside of your control, it’s easy for frustration to creep in when the going gets tough. Add that to the fact that the game lacks a definitive control method thanks to flaws in both motion and the traditional controller, and you can’t be blamed for looking for an alternative experience.
