The Escapists is an amazing prison escape simulator.
In this game you’ll need to be able to barter, steal, fight, and sneak your way to freedom – just keep in mind it’s a lot harder than you’d think.
One of the most amazing things about this game is the fact that it can be so cute and so grim at the same time. The daily tasks of going to the gym, eating meals, and even crafting items while hiding them in the vent above your bunk can get really boring.
Not in a bad way though, more of a realistic “I’m serving my time” way.
Aside from the repetitive tasks you have to do to work your way out of prison, this game is very solid. The graphics are cute but gritty, there is lots of content that keeps the game fresh and new, and let’s face it, who doesn’t want to roleplay as Michael Scofield in their very own Prisonbreak?
Pros
- There’s No Other Game Like It No other game simulates the soul-crushing ennui of prison life like The Escapists does.
- Freedom to Do Whatever You Want It’s strange that a game about prison gives players so much freedom to play however they want, but it does! Save up hundreds of dollars and buy a guard uniform, slowly tunnel your way out through the ceiling, or escape in literally hundreds of other ways from prison.
- Content-Rich Game Both official and fan-made mods provide new levels, new items, and new means of escape that could take a lifetime to explore.
Cons
- It Can Get a Little Repetitive Especially if you keep getting caught on one level and can’t figure out how to escape! Luckily there are thousands of tutorials out there that can help.
