CCC:
"Welcome to Shawshank." Well not really, but it's hard not to be reminded of the classic film when you boot up The Escapists. A visual throwback to the RPGs of the 8 and 16-bit eras, you play a freshly incarcerated prisoner on a mission to escape. The game provides a handful of different prison complexes with varying degrees of difficulty, from pillow fluffed spas to maximum security penitentiaries. Each fresh prison offers a variety of ways to escape, but unfortunately the accelerated pace of the game and a frustrating crafting system make achieving that goal more of a chore than is necessary.
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.
