KotoriDoctor! Doctor! Let's break out of prison!

Dr. ScalaThe Escapists 2, huh.
What did you even do to get locked up?

KotoriHehehe, who knows?

Dr. Scala...

Dr. ScalaThe first game was decent, but the second one addresses its shortcomings and feels like a solid improvement — that's my take.

KotoriHmm.
When you start with the sequel of a game like this,
don't you get so used to the quality-of-life improvements
that you can't go back to the first one???

Dr. ScalaWell, maybe...
But personally, if you like 2, I think you'd like 1 as well.

Dr. ScalaThe Escapists 2 is a game where you get to experience life in prison.

Dr. ScalaYou work out to build strength, study, collect items and craft them together...
Each item is perfectly legal on its own, but combine them and you might end up with contraband.
Then you hide it in your desk drawer...

Dr. ScalaFistfights break out, you get requests like "beat up so-and-so" — pretty rough stuff...
You get thrown in solitary and end up peeling potatoes...

Dr. ScalaWhile prison life is entertaining, the art style keeps everything stylized and cartoony, so it never gets too heavy.

Dr. ScalaEven though it's called a "prison break" game, it's not something you can play forever — I'd say it's more of a puzzle than a true escape simulation.

Dr. ScalaOverall, since you can't play it forever, my impression is "it's a bit rough around the edges..." — but for the price, it's more than fair.

Dr. ScalaThere's a part of me that thinks, "If it's fun to goof around in multiplayer, then what more do I need?" That's the kind of game this is.

Dr. ScalaThe escape methods vary by stage, but once you figure them out, you can rush straight to the end — so it's more fun to play with friends who are at the same pace.
If you're going to play with someone, ideally you should buy it together at the same time.

KotoriI'll dig through the walls!

Dr. Scala...

Dr. ScalaAlso, there's a Switch version with local play, but honestly, split-screen makes it cramped.
Too cramped — I'd say local play isn't really suited for this one.

About Pet Safety

KotoriAre the dogs safe?

Dr. ScalaThey're invincible.

Dr. ScalaI mean, you can technically fight back, but I'd say it's no exaggeration to call them immortal.

KotoriOh dear, how terrifying.
