From GameWatcher.com: "The Escapists may look like a 16-bit style, top-down prison escape simulator with a nod to those ancient games from the ZX Spectrum era, but it plays with as much depth and intricacy as the mightiest of modern games. Escaping from Her Majesty’s Pleasure has never been so freeform, frustrating or rewarding."
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.
