Uncle Dokuro Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I picked Escape Goat 2 up tonight on a whim. The first Escape Goat caught my eye when first voted for it last year in Steam Greenlight, but I never bought it due to it being over priced in my opinion. When I checked out Escape Goat 2 I noticed an improved visual style (A mix of Gothic and Modern Flat) and Double Fine's involvement, so I picked it up and it was well worth the money spent. Turn's out Double Fine is only the publisher and did no work on the game. I find that weird as Magical Time Bean had no issues publishing the fist game by themselves. Why give money to Double Fine? It would be one thing if Double Fine was doing advertising for the game, but I've seen none. Anyways, the gameplay is platform/puzzle most of the puzzle so far were not that tricky to solve. Your goal is to rescue the sheep that are trapped in the tower. You get spirit animals (for a lack of a better word) that you can use to solve puzzles. Right know I have a mouse that can get into spaces that the goat can't. Controlling the goat is tight and on point. The music is soothing and well done. It's to bad the soundtrack is not up for sale on steam or bandcamp. Overall I'm really enjoying my time with Escape Goat 2. Will defo be picking up the first Escape Goat after I finish this now.

Uncle Dokuro Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 The gameplay here is really spot on. It threw me off a bit that you can't attack any enemies head-on with the goat (do so will result in instadeath), but you can knock blocks onto them. I kinda find that refreshing for a change. Left off on the Perish of the Mouser and will pick it back up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dokuro Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Finished. Most of the puzzles were really well done, but some were not. The bone serpent puzzles were the must frustrating ones of the game. I think I died the most on those ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dokuro Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Now that I have finished the main game I've gone back for a second playthrough and to do the bonus rooms - not sure if that is what they are called, but they are hard as fuck to complete.
