Description: Extreme Escape is an escape-room puzzle game with an action component. It combines realistic graphics with challenges at high altitudes. The player must find his way out of a critical situation by facing difficult weather conditions, technical problems and the fear of heights.
Review: Just when you thought originality was getting a bit thin on the ground along comes ‘Extreme Escape’ to bring a little sprinkling of it. Sure, at the heart of the game is nothing more than an escape room style, but it really does bring that style in an extreme way. You have to escape a hot air balloon only that said balloon is already hundreds of feet in the air. You won’t just be on the inside of the balloon, you will also be climbing the outside of it with the potential of falling off. It looks great and I have sure never played an escape room game with such an exciting setting. But sadly it is a little short on content and many of the puzzles are far too easy. But if you have never tried a puzzle room game before this is a great game to start with. Just try to grab this on the cheap if you can.
