Is this game still being updated?
I'm reading some mixed comments from players and such and have been considering getting this game to play with my gf. So I am not sure. Does it have a lot of replayability?

Any big hiccups or anything like that bring the game down? And what's best about the game?

Thanks.

The game doesn't feature lots of replayability but the amount of content is definitely worth the price tag. It does require patience though, escaping a prison can easily take a couple hours if you're going blind.

IMO some big hiccups of this game are the insane amount of recipes poorly sorted out and small mistakes being heavily punished (once I had a 3 stars security rating for accidently digging the ground with a spoon).

But the biggest gripe for me is that you cannot use singleplayer escaping methods in multiplayer and it's not explained until you actually reach the point.

Multiplayer however is where the game shines. The thrill of cooperating to escape is a lot of fun. You can get some pretty good laughs out of it.

Thanks for the detailed response, appreciate it. Like I really think the concept is cool and like it seems cool. Is there like workshop maps that you can play together in coop or are there a set number of levels in coop.

In terms of replayability, there is not that much official content but there is lots of additional community content you can download and try out. I have completed the game on my nintendo switch (every single escape) and yet I bought it on steam anyway. Its an amazing game and I do recommend getting it.

Thank you for your response Boid, just one final question in that case. Are all the community maps coopable? I mainly want to get this game to play with my girlfriend.

Looking at the fact that there's almost 50K of workshop maps (last time I checked), most of them have to be coopable. But even if not, the official maps have more than one escape, and you can try escaping in every possible way. It's really fun and I recommend this game to everyone.

Don't even play workshop maps. The prison editor is so limited that you cannot even edit the underground floor and you can only have 2 floors. You should treat this game as if it had no workshop support at all. All workshop prisons come down to the same thing - dig underground and escape.
