Jonny Lewis: "The SNES-era visuals and bouncy soundtrack hide a universe of complexity, decision making and intrigue. It has a charm that will ring true with gamers of a certain age, and for anyone who is up for the challenge. Yes, The Escapists is challenging, but it is also very rewarding, and something about those little sprites kept dragging me back for more. The chirpy dialogue, the faux anger of the guards and a million other little things amount to what is a great little indie title."
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.
