Really enjoyed playing through the game with a buddy. A fun change of pace, and some really good puzzles. However ... To play additional map packs such as those in the DLCs requires both my friend and I to buy them. That's basically the same price as the core game just for an extra level, regardless of how long that takes (hint an hour). If they'd done the EA thing where one person buys and can host for mates, then I'd have no qualms.

This is how you play: ( I highly recommend playing in VR ) 1. Invite your friends 2. Start a room 3. Watch the room get wrecked 4. Spend 10 minutes cleaning up the mess 5. Discover the missing piece in your friend's inventory 6. Solve the room after the time is up 10/10 Would escape from my friends again

This is the best escape room puzzle game there is. Just on its own, the base game contains 20 high-quality rooms. Clues are clearly marked, all the objects and scenery look nice, puzzles are clever and sometimes mark what to pay attention to to solve the puzzle (which is nice to not have to guess). That's value right there (maybe not $20 of value but they don't stop there). Then, they've added a whole bunch more rooms over time (some free straight into the game, some free DLC, some paid DLC). These are all just as good, if not better, than the base game rooms. More value. But one of the most valuable points is the Community rooms. Any level-based game gets a huge value boost with user-made content. Some of these rooms are better than others, but there's still many tens or hundreds of high quality rooms for many hours of extra free content. And it's got multiplayer. My friend and I spend all our playtime together doing tons of rooms. We've gone through all the developer rooms and many tens of community rooms. We regularly play DLC and extra rooms on the day they come out. Their netcode isn't great sometimes, but it's usually not an issue. Adding everything up, Escape Simulator has a really high hour-per-dollar rate, and I've had a lot of fun in those hours.

Experienced on the Meta Quest 3 You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/R6mvaIhrdlA I'm totally flabbergasted. These devs from Pine Studio brought totally FREE VR support to Escape Simulator when they could have charged money. Instead, they wanted to reward their loyal customers for having supported their game with a totally FREE VR mode. I don't know what else to say other than thank you to these devs. Is it the best VR port I have ever seen? No. A lot of the interactions are of the point & click variety. There is no smooth turning as well. However, the VR mode works perfectly fine. It does not take away at all from the very good game the devs have created as you can see from all the positive reviews. These devs have also released totally FREE Portal and Among US DLC. They also have released a level editor so the community has created several free maps as well. These are just the best devs who have given so much to their community and I'm a proud to support them by purchasing paid DLC. The puzzle escape rooms themselves are fun & challenging with several cool themed rooms. There's a lot of good, quality content here for the price. They also support online multiplayer co-op. I honestly don't know what more you can ask for. The visuals are on the cartoony side, but I like the art style. Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 72 fps. I did not experience any issues or bugs. Everything worked as expected and the experience overall was very polished. You have teleportation or full / smooth locomotion, along with snap turning (with degree of turn) or smooth turn (turn speed as well). You can play comfortably seated (you have both button crouch & magnet hands). Rate 8/10. Thank you devs!

My Experience Escape Simulator is quite good, although I wouldn't say it reaches the heights of Escape Academy , which has an overarching story and more creative puzzles. If you've played any cooperative escape room games, you likely know what you're getting into - closely examining everything in the room, keeping an eye out for patterns (hmm...there are five slots here and five objects of different colors over here), etc. I initially thought that the rooms would be relatively easy, as these are easily the smallest escape rooms I've ever seen in a game. I wondered how developer Pine Studio would even fit any red herrings in these rooms to try and mislead players. While there are indeed few red herrings in the first few rooms you play, the developer does manage to include more in later levels. One funny aspect of the game is the inclusion of a "trash can" in each room. Usually, there is at least one object in a room that can be smashed into pieces (a vase, etc.). Rather than have these pieces clog up the floor, you can instead throw them one by one in the trash can. Not only was this a great way to keep the floor clean, but it's also a nice meditative task to take on while you're waiting for inspiration to strike during a particularly difficult puzzle. Although I found the initial Egyptian levels to be somewhat uninspired, I loved the levels within the "Adrift in Space" set. While the puzzles were certainly more difficult, it was a more intriguing space (pun not intended) to spend time in. If I'm remembering correctly, one of our favorite levels was the Santa-themed holiday level. It was nice to see such polish on what was essentially a random seasonal bonus. If you enjoy cooperative escape rooms, I feel sure you'll enjoy Escape Simulator . There are many rooms available in the base game, and even more can be experienced with community creations or the purchase of DLC. Pick Escape Simulator up, and you too will become fixated on hearing that satisfying chime that plays in the game on puzzle completion.
