Jan 19, 2018Definitely give the multiplayer a try. Couldn't be less unfun! You don't have to have played the original. Listen to what I say for real!

Mar 29, 2018Great game. Exactly what you would expect from a game about escaping prison. The only complaint I had was the little amount of people playing online on the switch version and, well I wish there was a greater variety in items.

May 19, 2018This game is outstanding! Great 16-bit like graphics. Very challenging,great online and offline multiplayer! why give it it a 8/10 well I play on Nintendo Switch and it crashes a lot. i found out a way to make it crash less! make one custom character and one or two save files per prison. it will crash less.

Mar 22, 2018As things stand, for all its excesses, The Escapists 2 is nonetheless a can’t-miss game on Switch. With a delightful pixel-style that fills the screen with details, it’ll be hard to take your eyes off the screen as you make your way through all the different prisons on offer. Most of us might never have the, uh… joy… of breaking out of prison, but The Escapists 2 does a swell job of showing us just how entertaining it can be!

Feb 23, 2018In 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.

Feb 22, 2018The Escapists 2 made me escape away from my Switch for a while. It simply made me feel bad and confused! But if you like complex micromanagement and doing time... well dig right in, inmate. This game truly is great for people who simply - don't like it simple.
