The Escapists is a unique sand box strategy game from the one man team of Chris Davis and published by Team 17. Releasing almost a year ago on Steam early access, The Escapists finally sees its official launch on PS4, XB1 and Steam. Though what initially sounds like a simple task considering other games that have featured prison based missions, The Escapists is all about striking at the right time and using what you can find to your advantage, making it much more difficult and presumably relatable to breaking out of an actual prison.
KeenGamer: "A good prison simulator can be a strong statement as to why we need more of them like The Escapists 2. Because they're always a great way to satisfy our itch of performing a Shawshank Redemption style escape from a high-security penitentiary."
Starting today, The Escapists is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until September 30 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
