    A more forgiving spin on the prison-break theme of The Escapists, The Escapists: The Walking Dead removes some of the high stress from the original and gives the player more room to breathe and enjoy what was great about it.

    A great tie-in and a solid game in its own right, The Escapists: The Walking Dead is an enjoyable and surprisingly deep head-scratcher.

    A great introduction to either series and well worth the asking price.

    The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a fun 8-bit indie puzzle/role-playing/survival simulation hybrid which makes excellent use of the license.

It is not as hard or as smart as the first game as it often requires less planing than some of the prisons in the original. It does sometimes get repetitive and is quite bare bones but if you liked the first game then you might like this one.… Full Review »
