Access Denied: Escape

I was disappointed by the "puzzle" design. Most of the puzzles were very easy or just "minigames" and didn't require any thinking effort. The actual environmental puzzles that had you moving around were more fun. But yeah. Overall: too easy.

I played the original Access Denied about 10 years ago in 2016. It was an interesting puzzle game back then. Access Denied: Escape doesn't disappoint in the puzzle department either, and this sequel also adds a story as you play through the game. You're hired by scienstist who has asked you to retrieve something important for him, however things doesn't reallt work out as planned... I definitely want to check out...

A notable improvement over the first game, both in terms of puzzle quality which is more consistent, and a nice little story to flesh out the setting. An enjoyable few hours.

7/10 This is a fairly simple puzzle/escape game. Almost all of the progression is put directly in front of you - there are only a few times where you need to look around to find something that is not obvious. It's a nice little story, with a few options to sway from the path (for achievements!). I found this much easier than other puzzle and escape games, but that can be nice sometimes.
