TwoDashStash: "The Escapists is a prison escape simulator developed by Mouldy Toof Studios in which you take on the role of a convict that must escape a total of six prisons of varying difficulty. While doing this you must keep to a rigid schedule, obey the rules while plotting your escape. This balance, the amount of character the game has and the music selection makes this a very unique experience that is only marred by a couple of easily forgotten issues in the in game menus."
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.
