There are ten prisons to tackle, each quite different from the last but the majority play out in a similar fashion. What it doesn’t do is teach you how to plan an escape or spot weakness in security, that’s down to you and good ol’ trial and error. Told in flashback by the character you’re controlling, it’ll give you the basic controls and gameplay mechanics to allow you to function as a prisoner and amateur escape artist. There is a tutorial level which is its own prison designed specifically to teach you how to play. I am aware that the first game left a little to be desired as far as teaching you the basics of the game though and in that respect the sequel is at least a little better. I have to admit to never playing the original, though the style and premise interested me. That can only be a good thing, right?Īs the title may give away you play as a convict who must find a way to escape their incarceration. The Escapists 2 promises more of the same, but improved in every way.

The sequel to the 2015 title The Escapists has landed on the PS4. Augin PS4 tagged british / oz / prison break / stealth / the escapists by Gareth
