There are also a couple of levels that are “transport levels” While these are more themed than the normal prisons, they have less free-roaming and a touch more level design, but again, it’s not a lot of story here either. You’re telling your own story about how you break out of prison, but realize it’s heavily put on your head to do any storytelling and there is none provided by The Escapists 2. There’s just random incidents and quests that don’t tie together.

It’s a missed opportunity but it also would have taken a lot more time and effort to show a full tour.īut really, once The Escapists 2 actually starts it’s more about open world free roaming gameplay, and the fact is it never tries to tell you anything coherent. In fact, The Escapists 2 shows you the opening in scenes rather than a full tour and because of that, you don’t actually learn the layout of the jail. There is an opening cinematic (skippable) which shows you the layout of the prison but this is just showing you locations. You should be able to understand what everything is.Īs for the story, aside from the tutorial level, there’s not much here. Even covering up a hole with a poster looks great and helps the player to see what’s going on while thematically covering the locations. A good example is that walls are removable or destroyable, and so that tile-based geometry represented by pixel art looks right. In fact, the graphics make a lot of sense for The Escapists 2 and work well with the theme. They look good and almost everything in the inventory is recognizable by sight. The graphics for The Escapists 2 are pixel graphics in the style of the NES, though more fluid than the NES ever was. Every prison from there on you get to choose a created character from your list as your character. At least I didn’t see him again over a number of prison levels. It’s easy to escape when the game practically leaves a pickaxe and shovel for you, for instance.Īt the end of that tutorial, the famous escapist you played is captured again and I believe that’s the last time you see that prisoner again. The fact is the tutorial is good, however, everything is set up to help you win.

Now, this is a tutorial prison so he practically walks out but it gives you an idea of how to escape prisons. He explains how he performed his daring escape, or rather a mundane one. You play an escapist who is being questioned about his big escape. The Escapists 2 starts off with a rather simple tutorial mission. Well apparently, The Escapists did well enough and then Humble Monthly Bundle for August 2018 picked The Escapists 2 in their Early Unlocks, and once again I’m back in the hole, the pokey, or the big house. So in 2018, I’m back in the same pixelized prisons and I wonder how I got here. It was an interesting idea for a game but ultimately I didn’t enjoy the experience and quickly moved on to other games, vowing not to return to prison, at least with that series. I played the original The Escapists in 2015. Also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Linux, macOS
