About
Risk it all to breakout from the toughest prisons in the world. Explore the biggest prisons yet, with multiple floors, roofs, vents and underground tunnels.
You’ll have to live by the prison rules, attending roll call, doing prison jobs and following strict routines; all the while secretly engineering your bid for freedom!
Your prison escape antics will take you from the frosty Fort Tundra, a train hurtling through the desert, and even to the final frontier!
Unite with up to 3 friends to create the ultimate escape crew and engineer the wildest escapes yet! Jump online or gather round on a couch to prepare for your sneaky adventures. By working together you’ll be able to create even more elaborate and daring plans.
Feeling competitive? Dive into the versus mode and show that you’ve got the skills to break out of any prison faster than your friends can. If all else fails, settle your rivalry in the court yard with a prison punch up!
It’s time to make your prisoner truly yours. Choose from a massive array of customisations to make your character unique to you. It’s important to look stylish whilst you mastermind your escape.
Being in prison forces you to be creative and work with the limited tools at your disposal. You’ll have to combine everyday objects like soap and socks to craft new weapons and tools to help you achieve your goal. Steal forks from the cafeteria to chip a tunnel in your room, and craft a poster from magazines and duct tape to hide the evidence. You’ll soon learn that duct tape solves (almost) everything!
The Escapists 2 introduces a brand new combat system to make every prison brawl more exciting and interactive. You’ll have to block and tie together chains of attacks whilst strafing around your locked on targets to gain the upper hand in combat. Make sure your visit the gym first to build up those muscles!
As the prisons get tougher you’re going to have to get more creative with your escape plans. There’s a ton of options to tackle almost any prison escape.
With the Prison Map Editor, it’s your turn to construct a prison worthy of housing the toughest inmates! It includes all the rooms, fences and guard dogs you need to build a prison that’s as hard as your imagination makes it – no duct-tape required.
You can pick up those prison blueprints and start crafting your own creations through the Custom Prisons option on the main menu, and when you’re ready you can show the world by sharing them through Steam Workshop where you can download subscribe to fellow architects’ lock-ups – all custom maps can be played either solo or in both local and online multiplayer!

I was disappointed to learn that this is not a true sandbox in which you could really fabricate your own escape plan. There is a handful of pre-defined “correct solutions”, many of which include a very specific sequence of required steps. Making your own plan usually fails without clear explanation unless it happens by accident to be a variation of one of the scripted escapes. The game is not so good that I would want to spend my time figuring all of this by myself, and checking the solutions from wiki is killing the fun. This is a missed opportunity as the humorous tone is really fitting and co-op gave some good moments of laughter.
A very good classic game, for those who know him i found this game because of dantdm

评分5/10 前5小时体验很好。引导差倒是还好,不看攻略靠自己摸索很有趣。但是5h之后体验很糟糕,有些图设计的很空很大,无意义的跑图占据大部分时间。关卡重复度高,虽然有不同的通关方式但是流程基本固定,bug还很多,等10块以下才值得入。最大的优点是联机较为稳定。

Ещё в 2019 году когда я смотрел летсплеи по этой игре я желал сыграть в неё. И вот, в 2022-м появляется возможность, покупаю игру с большой скидкой вместе со всеми дополнениями и начинаю играть... Я проходил её не торопясь и смакуя, изучая каждый кусочек каждой карты. Я сбегал из тюрем с какими-то для себя челленджами, например, без избиения полицейских пройти каждую тюрьму. Однажды я нашёл странную вентиляционную решётка на станции U.S.Anomaly и зайдя в неё, я провалился сразу в открытый космос. Или когда я с другом захотели быстро сбежать особым кооперативным методов из K.A.P.O.W. Camp я обнаружил странные решётки прямо под местом побега, что находилось на втором этаже. Так вот, эти решётки были забаганные и позволяли проникнуть на верхний этаж единожды из-за их расположения. В общем, в игре много секретов и необычных багов/фич. В конце концов, 6-го мая 2025-го года я закрыл все возможные достижению, прошёл все тюрьмы на каждый вид побега, узнал секретки и пасхалки на каждой карте. Я искренне полюбил эту игру и мне печально смотреть на то, что с ней стало. Я никогда не забуду как весело было избивать полицейских, потешаться над заключёнными и крафтить самые разные оружия... так ещё с друзьями... Э-эх! Этот отзыв является некоторым прощанием с игрой моего юношества, благодаря которой я стал креативно подходить к решениям проблем. Прощай, The Escapists 2, мне тебя будет не хватать!..
下個月要進去了提前來複習一下, 希望實戰的時候也可以好好發揮
Dank diesem Game bin ich vorbereitet auf die Zeit in der JVA Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel wegen meiner Steuerhinterziehungen.
I am finding that the "puzzle" aspect of this game is solved fairly easily. Once you plot out your escape method, there are not a lot of surprises you will face. Just set backs. Set backs to a long grind. You have to raise your character stats, earn money, get people to like you, find enough crafting materials for escape tools, dig a lot, ect. It is a massive grind for what is otherwise a very simple plan. I find it deeply unsatisfying because of how predictable the game plays out. And getting contraband is such an odd task because it mostly involves you searching fellow prisoner's desks since they already got the contraband for you. Either that or you do tasks to gain money and buy it from them. I expected more interaction with the prison itself, because as it is, this actually makes each map more similar since you just rely on other inmates for all your resources. Their items don't even seem to be based on their job or anything, it's just randomly generated. Lastly, shout out to the ui just being bad. It's oddly difficult to equip things and it's a bigger deal than I would have thought because you loot and equip/unequip things a lot.
