"The Escapists: Complete Edition is an action game that can boast about its lifespan and very challenging difficulty level. It does less well on other factors and it can feel very frustrating at times, aggravated by the lack of some assistance guides and overall repetition of contents. This Complete Edition ends up feeling below the level demonstrated by other games in The Escapist series already available for the Nintendo Switch."

About

The Escapists: Complete Edition is a prison-break puzzle game where planning matters more than power. You play a convict plotting escapes across 70+ levels each with distinct layouts and security systems. Success hinges on timing stealthy moves gathering tools and exploiting guard routines. The Complete Edition bundles the base game all paid add-ons and a Switch-only level called Furth Peak. Co-op mode lets two players work together one sneaking while the other distracts guards. This game thrives on clever level design and low-pressure problem solving. Its 85/100 Metacritic score reflects strong replay value with multiple escape routes per level. The Switch port adds portability for on-the-go planning sessions. While not graphically flashy the minimalist style keeps focus on the puzzles. Regular updates since 2018 have refined mechanics making it a solid pick for fans of methodical strategy over fast action.
