KotoriDoctor! Doctor! Let's break out of prison!
Dr. Scala
Dr. ScalaThe Escapists 2, huh.
What did you even do to get locked up?
Kotori
KotoriHehehe, who knows?
Dr. Scala
Dr. Scala...
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.
Kotori
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. Scala
Dr. ScalaWell, maybe...
But personally, if you like 2, I think you'd like 1 as well.
Dr. Scala
Dr. ScalaThe Escapists 2 is a game where you get to experience life in prison.
Dr. Scala
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. Scala
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. Scala
Dr. ScalaWhile prison life is entertaining, the art style keeps everything stylized and cartoony, so it never gets too heavy.
Dr. Scala
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. Scala
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. Scala
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. Scala
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.
Kotori
KotoriI'll dig through the walls!
Dr. Scala
Dr. Scala...
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

Kotori
KotoriAre the dogs safe?
Dr. Scala
Dr. ScalaThey're invincible.
Dr. Scala
Dr. ScalaI mean, you can technically fight back, but I'd say it's no exaggeration to call them immortal.
Kotori
KotoriOh dear, how terrifying.
