Escape Goat 2 Critic Reviews

With a gorgeous soundtrack and its sublime design Escape Goat 2 is the kind of 2D puzzle platformer that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside - like a mug of hot tea with a jam crumpet.

Escape Goat 2 made me feel like some kind of genius — and I loved it for that.

Escape Goat 2 is joyfully old-school, feeling very much like a lost NES title. Its soundtrack is even reminiscent of Castlevania’s. It’s also comparable to the recent puzzler Teslagrad, but it’s not quite as frustrating.

Escape Goat 2's soundtrack also stands out, thanks to its almost otherwordly feel. It's distinctly odd, yet charming and memorable.

Escape Goat 2 does not shine for originality, but is fun and works as an indie puzzle platform.

Escape Goat 2 is a solidly-designed, sharp-looking title with no shortage of replayability thanks to its nefarious tower of challenging puzzles.

A great sequel of one of the most curious and fun 2D platform adventures released so far on PC and Mac.

There's nothing especially unique about Escape Goat 2 aside from its protagonist, but it thrives due to its masterful execution of puzzles, simple controls, and a kind learning curve.

Escape Goat 2 isn’t the best puzzle game of the year. It’s not even the best goat game of the year. But for the price, it’s worth picking up if you find yourself craving a pleasant-enough puzzler.

There is really nothing original in this game, but it fulfills its duty to entertain us, make us think and, ultimately, have fun. To put it simple, this game does what every good puzzle-platformer should always do.

An impressive old-fashioned 2D platformer with puzzles that's capable of preparing four hours of entertainment using just the fundamental formulas. Even though the overall impression is somewhat crimped by the game's small budget, within the "play the goat" genre it definitely lasts longer than its relatives.
