This is well worth picking up and putting some serious time into. The co-op is also a lot of fun, especially playing with a buddy next to you. The guards are out to stop any escape attempts, so you’ll have to avoid suspicious behaviour by attending roll calls, working.
Life in prison will keep you on your toes with the strict rules that you’ll have to break. From the size of the prisons, the RPG mechanics, the combat and the daily prison life you have to lead. The Escapists is a unique prison sandbox experience with lots of items to craft and combine in your daring quest for freedom. They have not reinvented the wheel, but they have certainly improved on every aspect of it. I was surprised at how much more content they added to this. I think that The Escapists 2 on the Nintendo Switch is a really fun game. This is actually pretty fun and having to try and escape as quickly as you can makes thing all the more nerve-wracking.
You can also play against each other where you see who can escape the prison the quickest. To be honest I find the Nintendo online service rather lacking, especially as this is a game that requires communication. You can also jump online and play with three other prisoners. It really is a great game if you like to actually work with a friend. One of you can do one thing while the other does something else. This is a lot of fun as you guys can work together to come up with your escape plan. The Nintendo Switch version lets you play two players local co-op with just the two Joy-Cons. You can boost your fighting stats by hitting the gym which is something I highly recommend as some of the guys you fight are pretty brutal. You now have to worry about blocking at the right time and unleashing some brutal combos on the guy who stepped to you in the yard. The Escapists 2 adds much more depth to the combat.
The combat in the first Escapists game was as basic as you got. Use magazines and posters to cover the holes you are digging! There are so many ways that you can escape from the prison that it really does make you think outside of the box. For example, if you need to dig through walls a fork from the kitchen can come in real handy. The prison has some pretty useful stuff laying around and it is up to you to find it and put it to good use. I am not talking about your prison job here, but the way that you will make your escape. This means that you are going to have to be there when they do a roll call, you are going to have to get a prison job and actually do it and you are going to have to be a role model prisoner if you want to stay under the radar as much as you can. They have done a great job in making sure that you live the life of a prisoner. While escaping from prison is the goal in The Escapists 2. There are 10 different prisons for you to escape from and each one has its own challenges. Taking the time to learn a prisons layout can make all the difference between escaping and getting caught.
These things are huge! The prisons have multiple floors to them as well as underground tunnels, roofs, vents and of course about a million different buildings. The scale of the prisons in The Escapists 2 is much larger than that of the first game. Being able to take this micro (actually its pretty huge) adventure on the go with you is great! Do you have what it takes to survive prison and plan the ultimate prison break?

Potential escapees will learn how to craft seemingly innocuous items into useful tools and even weapons as well as using them to execute cunning diversionary tactics. The Escapists provides the opportunity of experiencing a light-hearted insight into everyday prison life and, as is the case with all inmates, the main objective is escape! While under the careful watch of the guards, players will need to go about their daily duties clandestinely secreting useful objects from under their captors’ noses.
