This review of The Escapists is from Complete Game Reviews. The Reviewer's opening paragraph is: "The Escapists is a great game. It really is. Unfortunately for me, I don’t really have the patience for it. I do have ADD, so that may be a part of it. But now that we got that out of the way, I’ll talk about how most people will experience the game. If you have ever dreamed up ways of escaping from prison, or you are a fan of the hit show Prison Break, you will love this game. Really, anyone that is a fan of top-down games would probably like it. So, here’s the review, which might help you decide if you want to buy it."
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.
