Escape First 2 Reviews

Loved the first one. Puzzles where we needed help had us going "oooo that makes sense".But in this one we were saying "how the fuck does that make sense" Tons of red herrings or gotcha tactics for puzzles which make them near Impossible unless you can read the devs mind. Not only that but a game breaking bug has been in the game since it was released and they haven't fixed it yet.

Too many issues to list in just this short description. Every level has major bugs, doors unresponsive, lockpads unresponsive, multiplayer is a complete mess, required items glitch through floor, vr movement options just stop working, second level literally couldn't even complete as after an hour of trying to work out what we were missing, looked up the solution online and turns out it had just glitched and the air compressor wasn't working as intended. Absolute waste of time

Very challenging in comparison to the previous game. Rather than giving you the direct answer after the first hint, it simply repeats the prior hint. I can see this being very annoying to some, while rewarding others who enjoy a greater challenge. If you'll get too frustrated due to the lack of hints, might want to wait until detailed walk-throughs are available. Sometimes items can fall through what appear to be solid surfaces; didn't take away from the fun I had with my friends though. Super fun game to get you thinking with other friends/strangers!

Okay Game 5/10 I have played both escape first one and two, and both lack that competitiveness. server lists are empty, and only 3 maps to choose from. Once you have finished the game its most likely to never be picked up again. It's still gets a 5 for effort, although i felt like some of the challenges were stolen from another game that you should check out if your interrested in these types of games. "We Were Here" price/quality much better. Greetz Rdx

played two rooms so far faced bugs in both, had to restart the game after getting so close to the end of the puzzle, some of the solutions do not make sense and u end up guessing. its an ok puzzle game but expect a lot of bugs

Completely unplayable in VR. Cant even complete the first level because it is so bugged. If you pick up a torch, everyone has a torch in their hands. It just doesnt work and is complete and utter garbage. We played with 3 people and it just doesnt work.

* SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW* I will make a line up per chamber as of why i review it negatively. The first chamber. (Psycho Circus) Two of the puzzles were illogical. [spoiler] The one with the seats and the arrows do not make it clear in the letter that you have to take all chairs inbetween those indicated on the letter. The second puzzle that is illogical is the one with the dolls. In order to solve the dolls there is a letter with a whole story saying in what order the clows got the dolls and how. That order is not the order you need to do it. But a very illogical order. The puzzles are easy but because of the illogical thoughts behind it and the illogical clues we were forced to look it up. We found a couple of forums with the same complaints that it makes no sense at all.[/spoiler] The second room (Factory) This room didn't work for us. The mechanics were very cool but the players were always out of sync forcing us to restart to the point we didn't want to anymore. [spoiler] The equation puzzle with the numbers you need to round up and down makes no sense in common math either. You solve an equation and you have an answer. A clue for the rounding up and down should have been given.[/spoiler] The third puzzle (Torture Chamber) The puzzles were super nice but was made unplayable because the reset items button didn't work. [spoiler]At one point at the final puzzle with the weights, Three of the weights dissapeared and we couldn't get them back. This made for us to stop playing.[/spoiler] We thoroughly enjoyed the first part of escape first. We were overjoyed when we saw a part two and three were released and we are going to start Escape First 3 with great joy. But this game was too broken and frustrating to give it a good review. If the problems I stated above are solved then you should get the game. If they still exist i advice you to wait.

This game is bugged to hell and unplayable. There's a bug in the bathroom level that the DEVELOPERS ACKNOWLEDGED in 2019 that STILL ISN'T FIXED. I wasted literally 15 minutes thinking I was doing something wrong when in fact one of the final tasks had become impossible to complete because of this glitch. Waste of my time. Absolute trash. Shame on the people who made it for selling it in this state. Do not buy.

Game is broken and filled with bugs, the 2nd map isn't able to be completed due to an awful bug which was addressed in 2019 by the devs but it's 2021 almost 2022 and the bug is still present.

This game is a disappointment. The amount of glitches inside this game makes it impossible to play the game properly. I found myself searching up how to do things only to find out that a card was invisible and could only be picked up if I new where to look. Even without the glitches, this game is piss-poor. It's so obvious that this game was rushed to meet the success of the other games in OnSkull's library as they repeatedly reused puzzles. When they didn't reuse puzzles, they made ones that barely make sense. I hope the games which follow this are better but I feel like the developers are running out of ideas and are trying to squeeze every cent out of this series. Fuck this shit.
