Prison Escape: Prison Escape Online

Heavy on the role-play aspect with pretty much zero puzzles.  The roleplay aspect was sort of entertaining and fun, but likely led us into a false sense of complacency once the timer started.  Once the timer starts, any sort of role-play then becomes detrimental as you are burning precious seconds on the clock.  This might have been tolerable if you were given more precise instructions on what skills are available to you and what their limitations were, but there's a lot of "learn and do on the fly" that makes this frustrating.  If your play group has "planners" who want to be careful and "doers" who want to just trust their intuition, this game will be a complete disaster.  (Actually, if your group only has "planners", you'll probably also not have fun because there isn't enough time to make a good plan.)

I'm going to post this review and now try to forget that this game ever existed.  At least for a few hours.
