ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Escapists 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escapists 2 has 10K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Bridge Constructor's written reviews are positive against 63% of Escapists 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bridge Constructor ships an update every 3 months, Escapists 2 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
