unlabelledView post →Feel like 99% of the time there’s a Walking Dead crossover with something, it’s the show version. and if the comic version ever gets rep’d, or a game of its own, it’s shit like The Escapists or mobile slop. Fuck off, man lol #blutoid
unlabelledView post →Next game in my back log is The Escapists. I feel like the endpoint that fetches the leaderboard may no longer be there 😅

unlabelledView post →I think my only actually-bad gaming experience was The Escapists 2. It ran like hot ass on my laptop, and i didnt realize "Wait, this isnt even my kind of game in the first place!" until way after the refund period had passed.
unlabelledView post →The green hair is not enough, today I'm channeling even more of my inner Jacksepticeye (one of my fave content creators out there) and playing a cult classic! 🚨 #TheEscapists by @Team17 ⌚ 9pm CEST 🔗 twitch.tv/murderveggie
unlabelledView post →344. Hitman: World of Assassination Hitman falls into the same category of games as The Escapists - games with amazing tutorials that teach you the ins and outs, but then just kind of drop you into it and leave you floundering. I would like a little more handholding in the early game please!
unlabelledView post →I could very well be wrong, but isn't the (I think) 2 game series "The Escapists" made using the same style or something? Trading the frontier building for a solid goal of "escape the situation you're trapped in."
unlabelledView post →Just been reminded of a couple old YouTubers I used to watch. Martyrsvale (channel now deleted it seems) was a tiny YouTuber who got me into The Escapists, which was the game that got me to download Steam. Also, Draegast, who got me to play Besiege, the second ever game I bought on Steam. Nostalgic~
unlabelledView post →Apparently the Escapists 2 doesn't want to let a person play solo with a controller, so it is essentially non-functional for me. I'll be looking through my library for another game to play on stream.

unlabelledView post →Little break before the big weekend, so I'm getting to play a game I've had on backlog for a while: The Escapists! Come chill with me as I...escape? 😅 Twitch.tv/0rbital_Casting
unlabelledView post →Ah that makes sense! I loved the Escapists. I guess you're creating new socials for each game eh? Is that really hard to do, do you feel like you're starting from scratch each time?
unlabelledView post →Thank you! I'm fortunate that my previous game did well (The Escapists) so haven't needed outside funding.

unlabelledView post →Started playing Zero Sievert yesterday. It's Escape from Tarkov + S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in a 2D pixel art style similar to games like The Escapists. The game is just as unforgiving as it's source material. I did manage to get my first storage upgrade which helps a LOT as loot piles up fast too.
unlabelledView post →yknow a friend reminded me of The Escapists today, and like. yea, i remember havin some fun with it - one of my first steam purchases iirc ? anyways, its a simple game, but like... i completely forgot how nice some of the soundtrack was. like. this would TOTALLY work on a study/chill playlist

unlabelledView post →32. The Escapists 2 I have something like 50 hours of playtime of the original Escapists game; it's one of my favourites from my teenage years. The Escapists 2, however, has escaped me - pardon the pun. I think a part of me thinks it just looks too different.
unlabelledView post →Highkey did NOT notice The Escapists' Early Access nestled in there so surprise you get a bonus 6th game (It's chill though, FTL is GOATed)
unlabelledView post →3) Out of the base game prisons in The Escapists 2, the U.S.S. Anomaly isn't the hardest. The H.M.P. Offshore is. It's just so confusing to navigate... not to mention a required material for one of the singleplayer escapes (there are two for some reason!) is bugged to not appear in desks naturally.
unlabelledView post →I'm not feeling my best today, but I did say that I would stream today so...LETS GO. I will be playing The Escapists 2 with my brother! Have I played the game before? Absolutely not, but it seemed fun so lets do it! :D Will be starting in about 5 minutes once I take some meds :')
unlabelledView post →The Escapists 2 is definitely a game that takes some time to learn (at least for me), but it's very fun ❤️
unlabelledView post →Just played The Escapists. Not recommended. A prison break sandbox should be an incredibly engaging and addictive gameplay experience -- but unfortunately, nearly every choice made by the devs on The Escapists seems to have been purposely tailored to make the gameplay as toiling as possible. It's unbelievable how thoroughly such an obviously fantastic gameplay concept has been transformed into the most deeply unsatisfying game I've ever experienced. #games #gaming #review #theescapists
