    All in all, not only that The Escapists 2 is a great piece of software by itself – it’s also a phenomenal port and a worthy addition to our mobile gaming libraries. Highly recommended to all gamers who know that, in order to fully appreciate your freedom, you first have to lose it.

    Ranging from the simplistic to the absurd, the Escapist 2 offers a great variety of ways one could escape from prison. Scoping out a new prison for its vulnerabilities and formulating a plan to carry out is a great time, but getting to those thrilling moments of misadventures are often plagued with days of scavenging, looking for those one or two materials I desperately needed and as the tedium began to set in, I wasn’t looking for a way to escape from the prison but rather from this cycle of boring, repetitive gameplay.

    (Like with all of my reviews, this is assuming you know atleast a little bit about the game already) the escapists 2 is a pretty fun game having you trying to escape various prisons, although I haven’t personally played the first Escapists, this is clearly a big upgrade. I’d recommend playing this with one or more friends as it softens the grind in the later levels, and believe me there’s quite a grind. You’ll have to search desks, knock out guards and sneak into areas the Ai guards would rather you not be in, each one of those tasks isn’t too hard by itself. If it wasn’t for the fact that hours of progress can be gone in a instant if you are seen rummaging through a restricted area. By yourself this is very frustrating. With a friend it’s just kinda funny lol. Anyway this game runs flawlessly on switch with the downside being you can’t create your own prisons like you can on pc, while this is disappointing it’s very understandable. This game definitely isn’t perfect but for the price it’s definitely worth playing
