cool game. but the number of GAME BREAKING BUGS you encounter is unfathomable. I understand the game has a lot going on. but you should warn your customers if a game is depricated.
this game now causes nothing but frustration and anger. it WAS fun... when it worked properly... but like usual. game devs cant get their grubby fingers away from something that already works and sells. its ridiculous. i'm way too late for a refund, but i'm not wasting another second of my life, if it will all go to waste like that.
the biggest problem is the queue. some things just simply never get done. no matter what you do. i had 200 guards for 38 prisoners, and they still sat around waiting. absolute bs.
for a game coming 10 years old i don't know why or how there are so many bugs. i encounter more bugs in the game then actually playing it. and these bugs break everything mess everything up and make the game unplayable and horrible to try play.
can make sure prisoners have EVERYTHING they need but something somewhere breaks, upsets prisoners weather it be food or clothes then they get upset start fighting and just mess everything up. and once ive had one of these bugs i will never be able to fix the issues and basically have to start again and im done at this point doing the same thing for a week and making no progress cus of these bloody bugs.
Good idea wasted by mediocre interaction with UI (that includes non-consistent translations). Also that's only "Steam" game that has no working sound.
This is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time, but holy mess from the cows coming home the game needs optimization. its REALLY laggy on larger prisons, and if you buy any extra land in the game, it increases the lag. Those are the only two issues i have with the game.
Story mode randomly crashes and puts flashing black lines over it. (Most notably in the hostage mission)
+ There's a lot of random mechanics that have no use or clear trigger like the photo album and the notes.
+ If left alone long enough on high speed sometimes the sound with break.
+ Starting a large plot with mods crashes my game.
+ 500 DLC
+ Mods routinely break.
I mean at least it has a workshop... kinda...
Many confusing game mechanics, the linked wiki is useless at explaining how the game works. Also, there really shouldn't be a be DLCs with a game concept this simple, just a cash grab
A few years ago I would've said that this is a great game and 100 percent worth buying. Now, not so much. I mean honestly, how did they manage to take a good game and make it this bad? If you do make the mistake of buying this hot dumpster fire of a game, play the 2018 beta, before paradox took over.
Do not recommend. Very buggy. Got it on sale for 5 bucks and it was not worth it.
A well made game that drained my soul from my body because of the campaign bugs. But alas, I am better at the game now and that's all that matters.
By the way besides the minor bugs in the campaign, I believe you'll love it.
Lock people in a cell and wait for them to get agitated
Grab armed guards and set free fire on.
Wait for prisoner to start destroying my hard work.
Send in guards in to shoot prisoner
Prisoner dies.
Carry on with life and play this game.

Prison Architect is what I would think Rim World is but a cheaper version, with less complexity but hey who knows I'm too cheap to buy RIMWORLD to truly say.
Prison Architect is a sandbox, base/prison building game, where you do your best to create an awesome prison. Or heck in my case an awesome plant to make money off of growing tress.
There's everything from gangs, riots, escapees, death-row inmates, perverts, scandals, drugs, violence, oppression, reforming programs, Free Education, Free medical coverage, all the things you can think of related You know all the good things that make you want to go to prison.
There are a few different game modes, and DLC'S, which include escaping from the prison playing as an inmate. Campaign mode, which helps you understanding how to play the game.... granted on Campaign 5 one of the achievements doesn't work properly for newer players. Sandbox mode where you can start from scratch, and a nice workshop, where you can upload and download prisons. Overall I found my self constantly trying to find out how to get things to work, but the game did suck me in and had me loosing track of time. Please note this is probably my first game if this style thus those experienced with Base sim buildings will probably find it easier than me. A must get for those who want a nice cheap base/city building simulator that provides thousands of options and probably hundreds of hours of game play value.
PROS:
Definitely felt like I was building and running a prison.
NEUTRAL:
Limitations: Everything requires some “engine” to build another part to function the way it's supposed to even if it may or may not make sense.
Controls/UI
CONS:
2 achievements that seem not to work unless you manipulate the games data.
Bugs (errors).
this is one of those games that you do a legit run the first time, then give youself 100,000$ and then use it to make a nazi death camp.
10/10 would blow an innocent prisoners head off again
it is SO FUN especially escape mode, but it is hard to get the hang of, and I still struggle with all the buttons, but it is fun, but not simple.
Not worth it, no direction, Don't let the high reviews fool ya, it sucks, trust me, you'll rage quite quickly.
its a gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood game (not being sarcastic) its very fun and i like its ART STYLE
Game was very good.
-Now everything is locked behind DLCs
-Paradox launchers is forced without a reason
-Game is now buggy as hell. They didnt really improved something with updates instead just broke a good function Game.
GG Paradox.
Wouldnt recommend to buy the Game rn
Its buggy and uncared for
By paradox doctrine the game is heavily locked behind DLCs
It would seem the game isn't well optimised as even managing a small prison can drop fps and in-game time significantly
There's no real options for graphics, just choosing resolution and the AA setting
Given you have the DLCs the game offers some good replayability and gameplay.
Mods and mutators help make the game changing each prison you make
Escape mode also exists taking on the role of playing as a prisoner rather than the warden/architect
Overall its a decent classic game, just monopolised and forgotten
Look into Prison architect 2 instead, though I doubt the DLC trend will be dropped
spent 20 mins on the forced tutorial just to watch a man who should have been given a medal put in the chair, did the boring tutorial teach about foundations somewhere? dunno wasn't interested in the story after that an the whole hey did you know electric chair's need power? woah no way I though i was Zeus incarnate , but i just spent a few hours just to find out you don't actually get to build your prison you just get to tell your guys to be like hey go build me a square with hallways an spaces for the pref designed rooms, , what you spent a few hour hours designing a prison haha get f'ed it's not in doors unless you use our pre made foundations. gee maybe that should have been the tutorial in a game called prison architect then again it's pre designed slop what a waste of time im almost glad paradox allegedly stole the IP even though they will 100 percent make PA2 worse somehow probably since it's more like prison prefabrication anyway
Easy to modify, needs work with the break room for the staff so they are not exhausted as much. I'm the Overseer and Architect of the Prison System.
Real shame that so many DLCs exist on top of the original purchase price. I recommend finding other games to play without so much money-grabbing.
my hours aren't representative of my actual time since I played it on other platforms
it's a cool game despite coming up on 10 years can't explain but its a game where you're chill but also locked in and making sure everythings running. the base game has a good amount of content that you'll be busy for a while so its worth picking up on sale since its so cheap
While I do enjoy this game, in it's current state I only recommend it while the total lockdown bundle is on sale. Otherwise if you're just buying the base game, you're buying a gutted version of what it once was and is not nearly worth the $105 CAD total for the DLC and base game to have the "complete" experience.
Certain policies are now locked behind DLC, needs are harder to obtain without using said DLC items, and some mechanics are too modified from what they used to be to be enjoyable in the same way. Combine that with broken DLC that doesn't fully play well with the other DLC and it makes for a not-so-reliable experience.
Some consistent game breaking bugs I've encountered are:
Guard Investigation will be softlocked if your CI needs to interview a guard at a station
Certain prisoners will not be processed if interacted with before intake
Medical Tracking belt will hardlock prisoners if there is no route, even after a route is made
Items being tossed 30 (THIRTY) units over double fencing
AND MY NEW FAVORITE: Visitors ignoring logistics pathing and walking through the prison to leave. I had booths set up with clear exit/entrance to outside but they chose to break from the FANCY NEW visitors logistics path and route what could only be described as the longest possible path out of the prison. I've never had pathing issues until they added pathing logistics.
Edit: All of the above was fixed shortly after this was posted funnily enough... It was all because I didn't have the "optional" cleared for transfer DLC enabled in my other sessions.
Edit edit: Lmao nah it only worked until I paused the game and walked away for an hour. Now the issues are back in the same session.
And don't get me wrong. Prison Architect has always had bugs, but these bugs point to a greater issue. I say all this not to complain but to point out that all these issues are caused by the DLC. This is all Paradox's fault. I've been an enjoyer of prison architect from the beginning but every time I return to the series I am put off by the strange new DLC that obviously tries to compete with The Escapists, the Paradox launcher being forced in my face, a million objects that all do the same thing or nothing, and issues with one new DLC feature not interacting well with another DLC feature/new core mechanic. Not to say the game hasn't also improved over the years and have had some issues fixed, but it is clear to see what was done for the good of the game and what was done for greed. What was done for the good of the game is fleshed out and what was ruined by greed barely functions. Despite the steam hours on this profile, I've probably spent hundreds of hours playing this game back in the day, I love, and it still has that base feel it once did but with a really bad coat of paint over it now.
In the words of Vito Corleone "Look how they massacred my boy"
great game and loved burning down a prison with 1000 prisoners and making them riot
Prison architect is one of my favourite games of all time. It is simultaneously straight-forward (and quite easy to pick up the basics, especially with the initial Story mode) but also endlessly complex (and you can honestly learn a lot about not only prison management but about general systems and process management by playing). The game is very flexible to your own ideas, and encourages you to think in great detail about every system and to plan effectively. The graphics are truly wonderful, and the story elements are retellings of classic storybeats from historical media about prisons which draw a compelling narrative for your growing involvement in prison management. Modding can be challenging sometimes, but the ability to easily share prison save files is one of the best parts of the game.
Paradox absolutely shafted this game, was brilliant when the original 2 devs were working on it. but that time has long passed, now we still have gamebreaking bugs that were never addressed. i was hopeful about prison architect 2 but after watching them push back the date multiple times i completely lost all interest.
personally i would just pick up rimworld instead of this. 10x better. not a prison sim, but you could turn it into on most likely.
shame as was a great indie game. as usual once these indie games get a bit of popularity a big dev takes over and ruins what made it fun to begin with (WORKSHOP CONTENT WAS WHAT MADE THIS GAME SO GREAT TO BEGIN WITH F**K THE DLCS)
Great game, with some minor rough edges. Some of the things in this game are a little difficult to grasp as the games tutorial doesn't cover the vast amount of everything in the game now with all the DLC. The re-offending fee in particular is a bummer that can only be turned off through modding. Speaking of mods, this game has some fun mods as well as some stuff for balance or just straight up cheats. Ultimately the game is a great prison simulator with a bit of a learning curve.
Honestly, I wanted to like this game. But jesus, there is so much it doesnt tell you and so many QoL missing and default options that just dont make any sense to me. I got this on sale since the second one looks fun. However, if its still like this then maybe not.
Pretty cool that Paradox shoehorned in their awful launcher so now my game won't launch from Steam. Truly incredible player-focused design from our favourite Swedish game former-developer.
if you enjoy the survival type or builder type of game you will enjoy this one here is a hint start off small
Great game, though the only thing I'd usually tell people is that don't start with the biggest map. The game lags so bad when your prison gets bigger.
Haven't played much to give it an in-depth review.
few hours
Best Bits..
Options (so many now).
Building the prison.
Watching the wee builders on full speed (should be allowed to search staff maybe a drug test now and again).
Watching the prisoners kill each other.
Watching the guards kill the prisoners.
Figuring out how to make them not die as often and make a profit by tasers and better security planning!
Discovering servos!!!!!
That day i found out if i put the protected custody in permanent lock-down as punishment they wont starve to death instead of a full lock-down regime!!!
Deployment planning for patrols.
MODS!!!!
Finding a tiny K-9 crap.
Watching my first death-row get executed.
Gang warfare.
Bits i just tried to cope with...
The times my favourite prisoners got parole.
Gang warfare.
Locking-down for my first death-row execution.
Few bugs-maybe, (could be the mods).
No surprise sex, (no mod).
Can't get a prison bitch (no mod).
Never once did anyone drop soap in the shower room and again (no mod).
Can't give the guards the big-D and blackmail them for contraband (no mod).
Not one black prisoner in a wheelchair with dreads. (no mod).
Not enough K-9 choice.
too many MODS.
Late for work. (Was too busy waiting on the second Prison-Architect release, which i'm sure will be in a few hours also)
Overall after the couple of hours i played. I would recommend this to any sim builder, lazy gamer and even power hungry maniacs that just want to know what prisoner is gonna be first brutalised to death in the new prison because the save files getting named after them.
Would happily give my few hours a balanced score of 10/5
I don’t quite understand why, but Prison Architect is rather fun. Building and planning the prison can quickly become chaotic, especially in multiplayer, but it can be fun, even if ethics become a bit murky. There are 18 achievements, which are mostly fine but couple of them are quite annoying collectibles.
I really enjoy this very addictive game, but the interface is SO BAD it often surprises me how clunky it is. The game is amazing and entertaining, but occasionally tedious with things which could easily be fixed by devs. For example one of the strangest things is that the objects menu doesn't actually show you all the objects available, eg. it only shows a regular bed and you have to type 'bed' into the search bar to show the other kinds of bed.... It's very odd, and sometimes still come across items I didn't even know were in the game because they aren't shown default in the objects menu. There are many minor lazy oversights like that which build up rapidly due to the repetitive nature of these kinds of games, to make the game even more tedious and time consuming to use, but it's still very good game and highly enjoyable if you like these kinds of micro-management games. In fact it is probably a good thing to have these tedious factors, otherwise the game would be so addictive that I may have starved to death playing it by now. The little tedious breaks allow you to regain awareness of the outside world and of how many hours may have passed by accident (which happens really badly with this game!!!! Set a timer!!!)
Overall a great game, but impossible not to notice the unpolished state of it, so if you, like many Steam users, are the kind of childish gamer who is easily emotionally disturbed by games which aren't perfectly to your liking, then you should avoid. Otherwise enjoy :)
I would not recommend this game to anyone who doesn't already own it.
Ever since paradox became the publisher this game has gone down into the gutter. A very long time ago this was mostly a project spearheaded by two devs, whose devlogs you can still find on youtube to this day.
Unless you're playing the base game, this isn't worth it. and i am extremely unhopeful for prison architect 2. i will continue to play this game until likely a better one comes out; as there truly isn't anything like prison architect.
This is, honestly, an amazing game, at least the base game. So much care, effort and polish put into making a sturdy foundation that was ruined by EA Style DLC.
Many years ago this was my introduction to Tycoon Games. I love how grungy everything is, it oozes a kind of honesty you don't see anymore. Everything has a sound associated with it, and despite the very simplistic art-style, it all fits together so well that it gives off an unmistakable vibe. (again, exceptions for certain DLC packs)
The core game is simple, yet filled with so many complexities you need to learn to actually create a functional prison. I love it to bits, and it hurts to see that ill never really get new content i'll like.
If you can stand the crap, i guess it's worth it. But i don't feel right encouraging this publisher to keep buying out Indie games and shoving them full of garbage. it's a pretty horrible tactic, and it's starting to show it's faults.
Maybe i'll be proven wrong and the up and coming sequel will be this amazing thing;
but it comes across like they don't have any understanding on what made prison architect actually fun in the first place. The trailers look terrible.
Doesn't say it on the side bar but it installs Paradox Launcher. Up to you if thats a problem but kind of obnoxious it comes with bloatware.
Very relaxing and satisfying game. 110% Reccomend to new and average gamers!
Prison Architect, developed by Introversion Software, is a unique and deeply engaging simulation game that places players in the role of a prison warden, tasked with building, managing, and maintaining a high-security facility for criminals. What sets this game apart is its intricate blend of construction, management, and moral dilemma, creating a fascinating challenge for players who enjoy both strategic planning and problem-solving.
Gameplay and Mechanics
At its core, Prison Architect is a top-down simulation game where players are given the responsibility of designing and managing a prison. Players start by building the basic infrastructure, such as walls, rooms, and utilities. The ultimate goal is to create a facility that can house and rehabilitate prisoners while keeping operations smooth and ensuring the safety of both the inmates and the staff. As the game progresses, new challenges arise in the form of more complex prisoner needs, legal requirements, and occasional riots or escapes.
The game offers a highly customizable experience. Players can design each aspect of their prison, from cell blocks to dining areas, staff rooms, and security systems. The in-depth building mechanics allow for the creation of highly functional or morally questionable facilities, depending on the player’s choices.
Key Features:
Prison Construction: Players can design every aspect of their prison, from basic layouts to detailed room types like solitary confinement, infirmaries, and holding cells.
Staff Management: The game requires constant attention to hiring and managing staff, including guards, chefs, doctors, and maintenance workers. Balancing the number and efficiency of staff is crucial to prevent unrest.
Prisoner Needs and Behavior: Prisoners have individual needs, including health, hunger, and mental well-being. Managing these is important for preventing riots or escapes. The game features a psychological depth where prisoners can engage in violent behavior, protest conditions, or even become leaders of gangs within the prison.
Research and Upgrades: Throughout the game, players can research new technologies and upgrade systems like surveillance, security, or rehabilitation programs. This progression adds a layer of depth and keeps the game engaging over long periods.
Prisoner Reform: One of the more complex and morally challenging aspects of the game is prisoner rehabilitation. Programs like education, work, and therapy can reduce recidivism rates and improve the general quality of life for inmates—but they come at a cost.
Graphics and Design
The visual style of Prison Architect is simple yet effective. It uses a blocky, pixel-art design that suits the game's tone. The character animations and interactions—such as guards patrolling, prisoners working, or the occasional scuffle—are charming in their simplicity. The user interface is intuitive, with various menus and tabs easily accessible for managing different aspects of the prison.
While the graphics may not be cutting-edge, the art style complements the gameplay and the simulation elements. The game’s visual approach is functional, with a focus on clarity to help players navigate the complex systems in place.
Challenges and Realism
One of the game's most engaging aspects is the challenge of balancing a prison's efficiency with its ethical and humanitarian aspects. As the warden, you’ll be faced with difficult choices. Do you focus on making the prison a high-security fortress, or do you try to offer rehabilitation and education for the inmates, potentially reducing recidivism in the long run but making your job more difficult in the process?
The game’s management system is deep, with various moving parts such as budgets, safety ratings, prisoner needs, and staff morale. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially as your prison grows and the number of inmates increases. Riot prevention, fire hazards, and escape attempts are constant sources of stress that demand quick thinking and adaptability.
Additionally, the game includes elements of unpredictability, with random events like prisoner escapes, gang violence, and fire outbreaks that challenge the player’s ability to adapt and overcome. These events make the gameplay feel dynamic and alive, rather than static.
Sound and Atmosphere
The audio design in Prison Architect complements its grim atmosphere. While there’s no vocal dialogue, the sound effects—ranging from the hum of machinery to the clanging of prison gates—add to the immersion. The background music is subtle but fitting, building tension and giving the player a sense of unease or satisfaction depending on the state of the prison.
Multiplayer and Modding Community
While Prison Architect is a single-player experience at its heart, the game also has a thriving modding community. Players have created custom prisons, new gameplay mechanics, and even entirely new systems to expand the base game. Additionally, there’s a competitive multiplayer mode where players can either collaborate or compete to create the best or most efficient prison.
Conclusion
Prison Architect stands out in the simulation genre due to its unique setting, engaging mechanics, and moral complexity. The game offers a rich, rewarding experience for players who enjoy building and management games, with the added layer of tough ethical decisions that make every choice feel impactful. It’s a game that asks players to not only create a functional prison but to consider the humanity of those imprisoned within it. With its deep gameplay, robust customization options, and ever-evolving challenges, Prison Architect is a game that offers hours of entertainment and reflection.
Pros:
Deep management and construction mechanics
Engaging moral and ethical choices
Strong modding community and ongoing updates
Immersive atmosphere
Cons:
Can become overwhelming with larger prisons
Some players may find the pace slow or repetitive after a while
Overall, Prison Architect is a highly recommended title for fans of management sims and those who appreciate the complexity of balancing logistics with social responsibility.
good game but it copy and paste when compared to games like this.
There is one thing I dislike which is you can only have one prison save file, but other then that the game is amazing and addictive, I hope they end up adding basements, and 2nd floors for solitary, etc.
I give up now. Restarted , googled, googled more, started a new prison, a new again and again and again and it keeps saying at least one of my new prisoners dont have a free cell so they keep standing handcuffed in the streets even tho theres plenty of free cells. I have built new ones, changed them to low security, built solitary cells, holding cells. NOTHING works. And its not the only bug. Uninstalled and wont try again.
Challenging yet fun with added extras within the storyline
can't get past the 1st campaign mission (crash same place everytime)... tried getting help on the forums, got harassed instead.. tried report... got banned...
game is basically a true prison simulator
Now uses that stupid paradox launcher. I instantly hate this game now. I am done buying any game associated with paradox. The overpriced DLCs that plague all their games were bad enough and now we have this shit. Fuck you Paradox
a prisoner completed 2 years out of his 3 year sentence, went on parole and had it denied. Proceeded to murder both lawyers and get 2 extra murder charges making him a maximum security prison with 50 extra years to his sentence, instead of just waiting out his last year. PEAK!
Great game! Enjoy building and managing prisons of a variety of sizes, decide how to run the prison, and try to meet goals by reforming prisoners while still ensuring they receive punishment for their crimes. Level of difficulty can be so broad, depending on what kind of challenges you want to face. Would recommend the game and most of the expansion packs to anyone who enjoys build/manage simulation type games.
Amazing game, but a bit confusing at first. Other than that, it is really fun, I love it!
I love how engaging and detailed it is, you can really play however you want once you have the basics down. Great with friends but there are some crashing issues when going online but that's okay.
Great. It's even got a story. Cool graphics
Gameplay and DLCs have generally been fun.
However, I have been unable to play recently due to a "Sprite Downscaling" popup. It explains its due to too many mods taxing my GPU. However, I have no mods installed and my GPU is only ruining at 20% with the game on. Looking online, it is disappointing that this issue has not been handled since at least 2021.
I cannot interact with the GUI due to this issue, and unforgettably cannot play the game. Without a patch to fix this, I cannot recommend playing the game.
Super Buggy, for example Food not being delivered from Kitchen to Serving Tables in Canteen. Some of these bugs are game breaking and you have to restart the whole scenario.
Many users online says, that bugginess got worse with every update.
