Escape Goat 2 Review | GIZORAMA
Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA – "Have you ever been listening to the radio with someone, and when a certain song begins to play, that someone gets overly excited and exclaims: “This is my jam!” or something similar? Well that’s how I am with puzzle platformers. Give me a sprite, some blocks, some well designed puzzles involving levers, traps, barrels etc. and a decent amount of caffeine, and you’re essentially handing me the formula for a really good day. I’ve played bad ones, I’ve played good ones, and I’ve played pretty okay ones. I was not ready for this.
The word “goat” conjures a few different emotions and connotations – awe is not usually one of them. Perhaps its because I never played the original Escape Goat that its sequel surprised me so much, because I wouldn’t expect anything with the word “goat” in its title to boast such elegant design. "
