7/14/2023 0 Comments The escapists 2 review![]() It actually felt odd going back to The Escapists and seeing how dated it looked in comparison. The best way to describe it would be comparing an NES game to a SNES game – it really is a nice jump forward in visuals. It still retains that nostalgic pixelated look, and yet looks substantially better. Another improvement worth mentioning is the overall look of the game. Often when I replayed maps, I’d find new areas that I didn’t notice before – which usually sparked new ideas for escape. In The Escapists 2, you’ll have larger, multi-level prisons that provide more opportunities, but can also be very daunting. Prisons are no longer one story structures. The crafting system has been redesigned to make it easier to know what items you’ll need to make different tools. The Escapists 2 is a vast improvement over The Escapists in a bunch of different ways. Grappling hooks, shovels, pick-axes – pretty much everything you’ll need to escape, and even some odd things that’ll make you cock your head to the side and ask “why would I need that?”. You’ll use contraband, along with prison-accepted items like combs and toothpaste, to create all manner of tools to aid in your escape. Contraband could include crowbars, duct tape, razor blades, and more. The favors could range from beating an inmate up to planting a dead mouse in an inmates desk. Inmates will either offer money for completing favors or they’ll sell contraband to you. In prison, you’ll come across other inmates, guards, guard dogs and civilians (prison employees). ![]() Make no mistake about it, The Escapists 2 is brutally hard and you’ll need extreme patience and persistence to succeed. Your escapes are bookended with cute little intro and outro cutscenes, assuming you actually can escape. For each level, you are brought into a prison, given a quick tour, and then must find a way out. There isn’t much in the way of a story for The Escapists 2.
