Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
About
You’ve landed yourself in prison again, and your only chance is to engineer an escape by any means necessary. How you do it is up to you! Why not cause a prison riot? Or dig a tunnel right under the walls of the prison? Or even steal a guard uniform to blend in with your captors?
The Escapists is a unique prison sandbox experience with lots of items to craft and combine in your daring quest for freedom. Life in prison will keep you on your toes with the strict rules that you’ll have to break. The guards are out to stop any escape attempts, so you’ll have to avoid suspicious behaviour by attending roll calls, working a prison job and hiding your stolen craftables.
Escaping is what you do best, and you’ll have to prove your skills in a variety of challenging prisons from across the world.

Não posso mentir e nem exagerar que foi algo tão fantástico quanto eu esperava, mas sendo sincero, foi bem divertido, é interessante a experiência de ser um personagem que precisa fugir da prisão e tem até todo um sistema de contrabandear itens pra avançar, e era até divertido aproveitar o livro do dia pra aprimorar o personagem. Só acho que n aprendi bem a fugir do jogo, mas talvez seja pq é demorado, mas eu tava tão focado só tentando não ser colocado na Solitária que eu até perdia o ânimo pra ir juntando formas de escapar.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Played this game originally on console, but it is much harder on PC and not as polished. All heists still have the same mechanics just, much harder to do some aspects like increasing relationships of other prisoners and some items being contraband whereas they are not on console. There are a very limited list of mods on the workshop that do work, but are not as easy as just click and play, many need adjustments inside of game files to work properly. The game itself is fun, retro, and has a learning curve that once understood, can make even the hardest prisons trivial, but similar to creating a laundry list of items needed. My achievements were bugged and reset on multiple occasions, which is a shame as this was one of the few things keeping me playing. Overall this game has a few flaws, but nothing major. It is still enjoyable and replayable even today
10/10 sandbox game
honestly just play the escapists 2, the first game is incredibly tedious.

Con este juego practico para sacar a mi tio del anexo Recomendado
Nice game for a pretty nice price (especially complete edition on dicsount!). Through some may back away because of the old artsyle, or weird mechanics, this game still is nice to play on even ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC.
⭐⭐⭐ Un bon jeu, mais assez frustrant et vieillissant The Escapists est un jeu avec une bonne idée de base et un concept qui fonctionne toujours bien. Le gros point positif pour moi, c’est la variété des prisons, avec des environnements et des situations différentes qui donnent envie de tester plusieurs façons de s’évader. Cependant, le jeu devient assez redondant au bout d’un moment. On refait souvent les mêmes tâches et les mêmes préparations, ce qui peut donner une impression de répétition assez rapidement. Le gameplay a également pris un sacré coup de vieux. Les contrôles ne sont pas toujours très intuitifs et je me suis régulièrement trompé de touche, notamment lorsqu’il faut interagir avec les prisonniers ou les attaquer. Dans certaines situations, une simple erreur de touche peut complètement ruiner plusieurs minutes de préparation. Et surtout, la difficulté est vraiment élevée. Dès la toute première prison, pourtant indiquée comme « Très facile », on se retrouve face à une difficulté assez énorme. Le jeu explique très peu ses mécaniques et donne finalement très peu d'aide au joueur. Il faut donc apprendre énormément de choses par soi-même, souvent après plusieurs échecs. Le problème, c’est que ces échecs peuvent être particulièrement frustrants : tu peux passer beaucoup de temps à préparer ton évasion, puis te faire repérer ou rater une action à cause d'un détail et devoir tout recommencer. C’est encore plus flagrant quand on compare avec The Escapists 2, qui me paraît beaucoup plus accessible et agréable à prendre en main. The Escapists 1 demande énormément de patience, surtout au début, et la difficulté peut parfois donner moins l’impression de nous pousser à réfléchir que de simplement nous punir pour nos erreurs. Malgré tout, je ne dirais pas que c’est un mauvais jeu. Il possède de bonnes idées, une vraie liberté dans la manière de préparer ses évasions et une bonne variété de prisons. Mais entre le gameplay vieillissant, la répétitivité, le manque d'explications et une difficulté très élevée dès la première prison, l'expérience peut rapidement devenir très frustrante. 👉 Un jeu qui reste intéressant et amusant si on aime le challenge, mais qui aurait vraiment gagné à mieux accompagner le joueur et à proposer une difficulté plus progressive. The Escapists 2 corrige selon moi beaucoup de ces problèmes.
