This week’s free game is The Escapists by Mouldy Toof Studios and Team 17. Now, even with the added map editor and sequel released, The Escapists is one of the best games of the decade. With that I’ve been trying to make my own prisons in the map editor, figuring out map design, and generally swearing to the gods of game design I’m sure some think that’s Hideo Kojima. Need to store items before your cell is tossed? You’ll learn from mistakes.Īll week, among many other games I’ve been playing, I’ve delved back into the game because it was recently a Twitch Prime deal. Caught holding a shiv? You’ll notice when or where to drop it when you need to. To compare my lover, The Escapists is a lot like Dark Souls : Every death, or failure, is a lesson. It is a wonderful premise, and the execution is brilliant. The entire game is about a strict schedule and time management, you have to find the flaws in those to escape. The entire game is about your timing, your ability to do chores, steal uniforms, and half-inch keys.Įvery morning you wake up, go to early morning roll call/cell tossing time, have breakfast then depending on the prison you’ll have free time, work time, or something else. Grabbing someone, hiding the dead bodies of your cellmates, and shiv-ing a guard to death isn’t the type of escape Morgan Freeman had in mind when Andy left.
I guess it wouldn’t feel as bad if the game wasn’t focused so much on the speed that a controller makes it cumbersome to do anything with. That said, I did say I’d mention the PS4 port and how awful the controller support is last week. It still feels relatively small, yet enjoyable. Asking for only £3,000 and getting just over seven thousand pounds, it got double the amount needed from 851 backers. Unlike last week, I’m not joking in that claim, it is one of the few Kickstarter games I think did well in making something fun without “ corrupting ” itself when it was funded and overfunded. The Escapists is a game about escaping a prison run by Jim Sterling, he’s probably in his office yelling about microtransactions in Fallout 76 anyway, he won’t mind. However, it is time for the next free game on the Epic Games Store. I’m still awake a day later, a couple bucks shorter, and don’t know how any of it happened. A bit like last Tuesday when I found a pregnancy test wrapped in toilet paper behind the toilet. I, for one, am regretting choices made to write this and the piece on those awards last night. For those in the UK, I’m referring to the elections and for those elsewhere, I’m referring to The Game Awards.
Ah, I hope we’re all still very drunk or now regretting our decisions yesterday.
