    Its a Lazy port onto console. Half of the items being illegal or not changed so that made it into a completely different experience for me. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way that I do, because it's a brilliant game on PC especially with the steam workshop allowing for extra User-Made levels!

    The Escapists is an amusing prison break simulation, which can get frustrating when you have no idea what to craft next. [Sept 2015]

    In The Escapists' defense, I guess, there are plenty of people for whom "being insanely hard" is a pretty attractive value proposition. And for those people, there should be more than enough here to love. For anyone else, though, this will just offer dull, endless drudgery, and that's precisely as fun as it sounds.
