Starting the game is a bit of an eye-opener. Once the tutorial ends you’ll get to pick your criminal, and before you know it you’ll be behind bars and living your first day in your new home. It’s also a good introduction to the retro-inspired visuals you’ll be experiencing throughout your playthrough. The tutorial only takes a few minutes, but it’ll teach you the bare basics and at least get you ready for your life in prison. It’s a cute little story that’s told by a prisoner that has escaped from his confines and is now soaking in the rays on a quiet beach.

The Escapists 2 begins by asking you if you’d like to play the tutorial level, and I strongly suggest that you do. Is that a file in your pocket, or are you happy to see me? “Grinding in a game that requires you to break out of a prison?” Yes, but it’s not what you think. What is needed is your brainpower and some heavy grinding if you plan on escaping from the game’s heavily guarded prisons. Well, I’m here to tell you that I never played the first game, but thankfully it’s not needed. Obviously, this is a sequel, hence the “2” in the title. The Escapists 2 puts you in the shoes of a hardened criminal and tasks you with escaping ten different prisons. What caused them to do whatever it was that they did? What kind of life did they live before being thrown into a cell? And the question I wonder most is – What are they doing now that they are incarcerated? Are they planning an escape? Are they watching Prison Break and taking notes? Are they even allowed to watch Prison Break? Come on, you know you’ve done it too! There is just something strangely interesting about reading up on your unlawful neighbors. I personally love checking out public arrest record websites whenever I run out of video game news to read.

Let’s face it, criminals are entertaining.
