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.

Grafik: 10/10. Realismus: 10/10. Psychische Gesundheit: 0/10. Ich wollte nur eine Runde zocken. Jetzt zucke ich jedes Mal zusammen, wenn draußen ein Auto vorbeifährt. Dieses Spiel ist kein Shooter, es ist ein Simulator für Laktose Intoleranz. 10 von 10 möglichen Dünnpfiffs. Ultramäßige Kaufempfehlung für Hosenscheißer, die gerne bei offenem Fenster im Bademantel scheißen gehen wie ich.
Requires too much simulation gameplay, stat-raising, and crafting to get to the actually fun part of trying to escape.

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.

[h1]Пробы, ошибки, повторы[/h1] При прохождении этой игры есть только два варианта: либо пытаться всё сделать самому, проводя десятки часов на первых уровнях и наступая на все грабли подряд, либо начитаться гайдов и завершить 'HMP Irongate' за первый же игровой день. Если серьезно - хорошая, но довольно душная стратегия с массой способов прохождения. Базовая версия включает в себя 6 основных и 5 (учитывая бесплатное DLC) бонусных тюрем, остальные 4 придётся докупать отдельно; получить 'платину' просто так не удастся - некоторые из достижений доступны только в платных дополнениях. В принципе, всё компенсируется наличием редактора карт и мастерской - пользовательский контент есть и выходит до сих пор. [u]Итог[/u] 9 из 10
Сериал побег первый сезон
хороша гра нажаль з багами які вже не пофіксят, але крім багу що туалет(і ще деякі DLC-шні штуки) не зберігає вміст(стан) після рестарту, і якщо помреш з ключем то він зникне і ти 100% попадеш в карцер, деякі баги руху NPC не думаю що є якісь баги які можуть зіпсувати гру звичайним гравцям
вообще тема
Un buen diseño de niveles, los graficos y apartado sonoros recuerdan a juegos de 16 bits, y la jugabilidad es excelente. en general. Complen este juego

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really like this game. I tried to like it, but for me it’s so buggy and boring compared to the Escapists 2.
Muy buen juego, el tema de los crafteos y de como escapar es entretenido, pero cuando llevas ya unas cuantas hora se vuelve repetitivo, al igua que sus dlc, que si no estaban en 90% ni los compraba, pero para entetenerte sirve, muy bueno
