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!

This game is absolutely dog ♥♥♥♥♥, would rather be castrated than play this ass game again. Genuine torture. Was worse playing this than seeing my grandfather die.

Funny game, if you have a stack of friends to play with. Otherwise, I don't think it'll be that interesting. Game is just a bunch of maze-levels, where you can escape from with many different ways. 6/10.
PROS - Creative and rewarding escape mechanics. - Plenty of freedom to approach each prison differently. - Great co-op experience with friends. - Fun crafting and progression system. - High replayability thanks to multiple escape methods. CONS - Gameplay loop becomes somewhat repetitive over time. - Some controls and interactions feel clunky. - Trial and error can occasionally lead to unnecessary frustration. VERDICT The Escapists 2 is a highly enjoyable sandbox puzzle game that rewards creativity and planning. Whether you're carefully executing the perfect escape or watching your entire plan fall apart at the last second, it's an experience that's consistently fun, especially when shared with friends. 8/10
игра крутямбовая, мне понравилось. обидно, что я не встретил навального и пи диди. менты и собаки заебали. 10 уроненных мыл из 10
круто я почувствовал себя настоящим зеком блатным авторитетным вечер в шаттл
Bought this to play coop with a friend. We worked hard on a multi-step plan over many days to acquire a key to an important door. We then discovered that the player with the key couldn't use it to let the other player through. I guess that in the name of balance, the other player has to spend the time and effort to make the key, too. It's an attitude to difficulty that was very immersive in the sense that we felt a little like we were doing real time. Our enthusiasm vanished instantly and we never played again.
As someone who's played the console version for probably at least 100 hours total over the years and watched other people play it. I can say that it's worth buying again. Mainly for custom prisons. But if you're buying this for the first time just know this game has everything you want in a prison sim.
ta chulo escapar de las prisiones como en la vida real. me recuerda a cuando me escapaba de prision.
Я сбегу из тюрьмы и буду ждать своего друга негра на берегу моря, вдыхая свободный воздух омерики
