    Escape Academy : The Complete edition is a great collection of escape-room puzzles that are a must-play for fans of point-and-click adventure games and looking for a fun time racking their brains. The co-op, whether local or online is an absolute must and improves the experience by a mile. While you won’t get too much out of the story and characters, the additional level packs add on top of the good serving of puzzles you’ll encounter. I have to admit that after my time with Escape Academy, some actual escape rooms will have a hard time living up to this experience.

    Graphically, the art is fine and the 3D environment doesn’t look bad, but it doesn’t look good, either. In today’s gaming landscape, I expect more polish and style. I enjoyed that the central protagonists’ room has ever-expanding decorations pulled straight from each escape room completed, and I smirked while poking around the place to see what assets were pulled after each set of puzzles. Audibly, I can’t say Escape Academy does much. The music is completely forgettable, and the script lacks voice acting.

    The lack of replayability aside, there’s a lot to enjoy within Escape Academy. Each room feels different enough, even when all we’re doing is finding another four digit number or word, and the fluffy tale underpinning the affair is easy enough to just sit back and enjoy without too much thought.

    Escape Academy achieves much of what it sets out to do. Giving players and whenever possible, their co-op partners, the authentic escape room experience, cutting away the frustrations of real-life escape attempts, and focusing our attention on finding connections and solving puzzles instead.

    The game has an intriguing – if campy – narrative and cast of characters who make the experience a joy to play. The timer for each room is generous but applies the right amount of pressure to keep you moving. Escape Academy easily earns an A on the final.

    Escape Academy may be a fairly brief experience for some, then, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the puzzles here are thought-provoking and masterfully crafted. They test your ability to spot patterns and problem solve without ever being too obtuse. Throw in a surprisingly engaging story and co-op, and you have one of the most enjoyable experiences of the year so far. It might even make you want to do some real-life escape rooms – imagine that.

    Escape Academy

    Most of the puzzles were straightforward and almost too easy. But at the same time, a few puzzles had such bizarre solutions. The game's fun to play with a friend but it's not the best comparing it to other games in the same genre.
