What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The graphics of Escape Goat 2 are great.
Decent sequel to Escape Goat 2, featuring more detailed graphics, new soundtrack (though I liked soundtrack of the original game more), some new mechanics (include a new type of enemy that's basically is living and moving level tiles), longer campaign (took me around 4 hours to beat without extras) and Steam workshop support.
The graphics are fairly standard as far as modern 2D platformers go, but the characters are very smoothly animated and a lot of detail was put into the mechanisms and gears in the fortress.
Along the way you meet various friends like a mouse, who travels along with you and is a crucial part of gameplay, as well as sheep, who have gotten lost in the fortress and need to be rescued.
The game can be controlled with either an Xbox 360 controller, which is the recommended control method, or with the keyboard.
It’s available on Windows, Mac, and Linux on Steam, Good Old Games, and The Humble Store.
