The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout is a fun game that is full of sneaking, strategizing, and of course, escaping prison! This puzzle and strategy game will challenge you to escape the toughest prisons without ever getting caught by strict patrolling guards. What’s more is that there are many floors, air vents, and tunnels that you can explore. Just be careful in exploring the area or you might get lost! If you are lucky, the tunnels and vents will prove to be effective escape routes. The Escapists 2 also offers a realistic turn of events as you will also need to try other tactics such as bartering for supplies in order to escape. 

Plan your escape

The game’s mechanics may seem simple and easy at first but with a lot of eyes everywhere watching your every move, it will be really difficult for you to escape prison. When you are first thrown behind bars, you are treated just like an ordinary prisoner. You are yet to have any connections with anyone, may it be with the guards or with fellow inmates. The scenarios in this game are almost like in real life where prisoners follow a hierarchy. As a newbie in prison, you have no choice but to play nice and obey orders in order to be liked by the other people inside. From here, you will be able to slowly climb your way up and make connections. Being close with guards and other inmates will allow you to request favors like asking for certain items that will be essential for your escape. Players will really have to be cunning in this game if they want to successfully leave prison without getting caught. 

While establishing relationships with other inmates and guards is important, it will not be enough. Memorizing and studying the maze-like prison is also a must, otherwise, you will not know which way to go once you are already enacting your plan. There are lots of rooms, vents, and underground tunnels that you can use as your escape route. Another thing you should remember is to strengthen your character’s physical and mental traits. Starting off as weak, you should make sure to exercise daily at the gym or read a lot in the library. Without physical and mental strength, your character will not be able to accomplish certain tasks and even the very act of breaking out of prison. Just be patient and focus on your character’s development to be able to plan and execute a successful prison escape.

A free man

The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout is not as simple as you would think it is. The game will really ask you to use your brain and think of strategies in order to escape. Even the interactions with guards and fellow inmates are not stale and boring. The dialogues are creative and help put the players in a realistic setting. You will not get bored with the variety of missions and tasks to complete as well as the different prisons available for you to try to escape.
