    Wow, just wow! Who would of thought that after the mediocre first game, they would release what I consider a masterpiece. Everything wrong with the fist game, fixed. Buy it, it was fun.

    Игра хорошая, сильно затянет если есть друг (не у всех есть друг). Всего 20$ стоит.

    The Escapists 2 is one of my favorite sandbox games of all time. It is certainly one of the best prison games on the market. It has loads of different craft able items you can make to either fight people or you can use them to escape one of the many brilliantly designed jails. The multiplayer is very good and you can do split screen for up to 4 players. I highly recommended this game toThe Escapists 2 is one of my favorite sandbox games of all time.

    A very fun, multiplayer-encouraging game. Much more polished on home consoles, and much less bugs are encountered.

    El juego a mí siempre me ha gustado, mucha gente puede incluso renegar del tema crafteo en el juego, porque es sumamente complicado encontrar las recetas para todo lo que hay, pero la verdad que la experiencia es muy buena una vez empiezas a investigar cuáles son (lo mejor es buscarlo por Internet) y cada vez que juegas puedes hacer diferentes cosas, aunque las primeras cárceles son muyEl juego a mí siempre me ha gustado, mucha gente puede incluso renegar del tema crafteo en el juego, porque es sumamente complicado encontrar las recetas para todo lo que hay, pero la verdad que la experiencia es muy buena una vez empiezas a investigar cuáles son (lo mejor es buscarlo por Internet) y cada vez que juegas puedes hacer diferentes cosas, aunque las primeras cárceles son muy fáciles. Consejo: las primeras cárceles solo necesitas tener mucha Fuerza y un arma contundente, dejas a todos los policías en el suelo y se te abrirán las puertas.… Expand

    The Escapists 2 is a sequel that manages to build and expand upon the original game in every way, whilst also still making it a great starting point for newcomers. Those familiar with the concept will still have lots to learn with the new mobile prison challenges and unique escape methods, and the game still has that surprising level of difficulty. At the same time, however, The Escapists 2 offers a lot more instruction than the original, with a new tutorial level, crafting guide and a slightly more linear approach overall. The introduction of multiplayer is also a bonus, giving players, even more, ways to escape and cause general havoc.

    I still don't know if I personally like The Escapists 2. It was slow, extremely frustrating and by no means a casual gameplay experience, but I wouldn't say it’s a bad game. Oddly enough, despite my problems learning the ropes of prison life, and the failure of trying to escape, I still find myself drawn to it. Once you figure out what you are doing, get a grasp of prison life and crafting items, it becomes somewhat addictive. Gamers who enjoy time management will have a lot of fun plotting their escape, and fans of retro games will surely enjoy the pixelated characters and graphics. The Escapists 2 isn't for everyone, but if you're looking for a challenging game with high replay value, or you were a fan of the first game, then you'll definitely want to add this to your Xbox One collection.
