WGTC:
When you think about it, there aren’t really that many games centred around prison life. There’s Prison Architect of course, but that’s more about the construction side of things rather than actually being stuck in there. Some games may touch on prisons and jail cells as a side theme, such as Red Barrel’s phenomenal horror game Outlast, but while your character is given a sense of being trapped, the prison aspect isn’t really thrown in your face, with the possible exception of a couple of levels.
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.
If you're getting into A Way Out's fun, co-op filled, prison escape adventure and you're looking for your next experience. Then Here is a list of great games that all have a similar feel to A Way Out.
FYI... before you read, none of the titles have really any similarity to A Way out at all.
