Aug 22, 2022Beautiful art design, with a story that left a bit to be desired. The gameplay itself was quite lacking as the side scrolling mostly just consists of running to the next boss fight which goes for about a minute or two. Enjoyed customising my characters outfit towards the end of the game and watching how the environment reacted to the guitar riffs as you run across the screen.

PLAYMar 7, 2022Francis’ journey from doubt-filled zero to confident rock hero is still a lot of fun and masterfully told, thanks in part to great voice acting including some Hollywood A-listers. It’s a feast for the ears and eyes, and contains genuinely funny dialogue and exceptional creativity, making us want to forgive its flaws. Art and music lovers should definitely go on this journey like no other, there’s much to see. [Issue#12, p.75]

Feb 8, 2022The Artful Escape is unique and plays like a little shiny gem.

Jan 25, 2022The Artful Escape takes you on a trip with Francis into the cosmos, marrying music and visuals into a beautiful gameplay experience. Small things pop up a time or two, but absolutely nothing keeps The Artful Escape from being entertainment brilliance. Place this among the top indie titles on the PlayStation platform.
