From the genius behind Fat Princess emerges a crude hodgepodge of Lemmings and Tim Burton’s 9. Despite being a puzzle-platformer, Escape Plan is more concerned with crafting masturbatory “gotcha” deaths for the player’s two controllable characters, proudly tallied on their bodies, than any semblance of challenge. Seems the comparisons to LIMBO go further than the art direction.

A sitcom laugh track and level titles like “Reach Around” and “Who Darted?” feel callous. Am I meant to laugh? Be laughed at? I can’t shake that it’s all to conjure the image of a devilish game design puppet-master behind the emerald curtain.
