    In a move that doesn't happen often these days, I'm going to go against the mainstream critics and fans and say The Escapists 2 is a Switch game that doesn't even deserve a first look, let alone a second. If I want to feel the opposite of entertained, and instead an emotion bordering on physical pain, I'd save my money and throw myself down the stairs. My home has two flights, one for each game in this inexplicably popular series. Good news! I never have to play either again, and I can get the same feeling by hurling myself down one of the two carpeted inclines in my own home - for free.

    The Escapists 2 for the Switch is a great prison escape game, which stays true to its intention of bringing 8-bit sandbox games into 2018 and while there may be other ways to create a game of this genre, it is still hard to imagine other prison escape games being as fun as this both for a single player and multiplayer experience.

First of all when ever I boot upThe Switch version of this game is unacceptable, this game is really fun, when it actually decides to work. First of all when ever I boot up the game I am forced to wait a really long time so a screen can pop up, the screen is a Internet connection thing I do not understand why it makes me wait that long just to log onto the Internet. Then when I finally get onto the menu I select my game. Then multiple times recently I have just been playing and then a error has occurred message keeps popping up which boots me back to the Switch home menu. What? It should not be doing this it has done it three times and it was perfectly fine yesterday. This game is really fun and I really like it but there is something wrong. I don't know if it is just me but it needs to be fixed.… Full Review »
