There’s a co-op mode, even, so you can be trapped in these escape rooms with a chum, which sounds absolutely fantastic. But on my own, Escape Simulator offers a far more tangible sense of the feeling of playing a real-world escape room, one spaceship aside, keeping things within the realms of possibility. Ooh I can’t wait for that DLC.

Escape Simulator is a huge surprise—what started as an unassuming game has turned into several hours of great fun, whether you’re playing solo or with others. The nearly limitless scope for using your imagination is admirable, and the official levels have their own unique charm. Unfortunately, physics can sometimes play tricks on you, the whole game occasionally crashes, and—most of all—that annoying soundtrack just won’t stop playing. If you’re a fan of escape games, this one’s right up your alley—and I’d say it’ll keep you entertained for a very, very long time.

Escape Simulator puts players in a variety of themed environments with one simple goal: escape. With riddles to solve, secrets to uncover and dozens of objects to inspect, did Escape Simulator offer the perfect virtual escape room challenge or was I left stuck and looking for more?

Overall, Escape Simulator is a great way to experience an escape room without leaving the house. The smooth gameplay and realistically solvable puzzles make for an enjoyable experience. Player-created rooms will undoubtedly only add to the value and make Escape Simulator an easy purchase for puzzle fans.

Escape Simulator is a fantastic and challenging puzzle game that really makes you think. It’s one of the more challenging puzzle games and some of the puzzles are so bloody clever once you figure them out.
