The Escapists: The Walking Dead Critic Reviews

A great tie-in and a solid game in its own right, The Escapists: The Walking Dead is an enjoyable and surprisingly deep head-scratcher.

A more forgiving spin on the prison-break theme of The Escapists, The Escapists: The Walking Dead removes some of the high stress from the original and gives the player more room to breathe and enjoy what was great about it.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a fun 8-bit indie puzzle/role-playing/survival simulation hybrid which makes excellent use of the license.

Apart from being too similar to the game it's based on, The Escapists: TWD delivers a great experience that fans of the TV show will enjoy.

A great introduction to either series and well worth the asking price.

Follows the steps of the first installment, but adapts its formula to a somewhat simpler but completely different universe. If you liked the first game, or you're a fan of The Walking Dead, you should try your patience with this game.

It keeps the essence of The Escapists but adapted to the world of The Walking Dead. Of course, sometimes The Escapists: The Walking Dead can give you a déjà vu sense and it doesn't beat the original.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead adds some interesting mechanics to the base title, but as a TWD game it's a bit of a letdown due to a very weak storytelling and repetitive gameplay.

A very addictive time and resource management game which can easily make the hours fly by as you play just one more day to hunt for that elusive item you need. However, the addiction can slowly turn into frustration at not being able to find what you need or by not knowing what you need to do next due the lack of any hints.

A great title that remains true to the source material, and one that fans of both the Escapists and the Walking Dead will love. Whether the daily grind of washing dirty clothes and working out in the gym will be for everyone else is another question, but this unusual and unique take on one of TV’s bests is at the very least a fun and challenging RPG.

A fun, short-lived game that’s one of the better Walking Dead experiences roaming the market.

The Escapists The Waking Dead is a nice and cute addition to the The Walking Dead world and provides a solid few hours of fun.

While I wasn’t a fan of the resource management and crafting system as a whole, due to frustration and lack of hints, those with patience and who love experimentation will no doubt see hours pass by as they try to survive one more day to find that one item you’ve been searching for.

Both The Escapists and The Walking Dead fans will be able to enjoy this game, but with some additional work it could have been much better than it is.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead brings a normalcy to the franchise, with methodical routines and chances to explore, better yourself, or help others at will.

As a The Walking Dead fan, a fan of puzzle games, RPG games and retro-style graphics, there is nothing I can say I enjoyed about this game.

The Walking Dead version of The Escapists feels more like a skin than a completely new game. And it is a skin that does not even make sense in this setting.

There are brief hints at what might have been, but otherwise this is a walking dud.

It's not awful, but splicing these two series together adds no value for fans of either one. It is both an inferior Walking Dead game and an inferior Escapists.
