Had a lot of fun with this game. Came back to it recently to find it has a paradox launcher. There seems to be an issue with setting higher resolutions that crash the game.
There appears to be problems with this game. Objectives aren't fulfilled when completed and utitlies aren't working
instructions unclear, the prisoners all shit themselves and died of sepsis
This is a great game the story is good and the game play is over all fun.
I've spent more time googling and researching how to make the game work than actually playing the game.
I played this in 2025, 18hrs time played.
I made my first prison, luxury cells, 160 prisoners. Thought I'd make a new 1000+ prison. Thought I understood all the bugs.
Spent an hour designing the new layout. Workers wouldn't stop looping around a 10 cell block, laying concrete for 3 in-game days. I cancelled the building by bulldozing it and received £500'000.
Nothing makes sense, so many bugs, after 10 years. Such a terrible game
They should surprise us with an update so that all of our prison architect games turn into better graphics and more options,,,,, i just love this game and can easily look past any flaws it does have.... it would be perfect if the graphics were better - cant wait for 2 tho ....
Can no long play multiplayer or play with my friend without a launcher, removed features and then added them as DLC. Sever browser doesn't work or connect. Way to ruin things.
A game this old and it's riddled with bugs? Feels like it was an EA game that was 'released' when sales stopped. Bugs and all.
If you have a standard monitor this is still a good game (ultra-wide is kinda a scaling mess) even if Paradox abandoned it in a buggy state to chase after a 3D version that is now seemingly on ice. Buy it cheap on a sale and it's a good deal, but it's hard to want to give Paradox money for it when I remember it in a less buggy state before they took over.
This game is SUPER fun, a little hard to understand all the different features at first, but once you get familiar, its so addicting. its in-depth and detailed, and either you experiment and have fun, or you buckle down and run a prison! PLEASE PLAY IT !!!!
Lost hours of my life to this game. Very addictive. Loads more fun with the DLC but you can have loads of fun without it too! Would buy this 1000x over if I had to
I only bought this game yesterday and have 9 hours into it so far, so it shows for itself if you like base/structure building games with planning and some needed "strategic thought" then you will love this game!
A management sim that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Prison Architect blends dark humor with deep simulation mechanics. You start with a small facility and expand into a massive prison, balancing security, finances, and prisoner morale.
The core gameplay is addictive and rewarding, with a lot of freedom in how you design and manage your prison. The AI interactions between prisoners, guards, and events (like riots or escapes) keep things engaging.
However, the late game can become repetitive, and some systems, like rehabilitation and reform, feel underdeveloped compared to security-focused mechanics.
✔ Addictive and detailed prison management
✔ Freedom to build and experiment
✔ AI interactions make for engaging emergent gameplay
✖ Late game can feel repetitive
✖ Some mechanics lack depth, especially reform programs
If you enjoy management sims like Tropico or SimCity, Prison Architect is a great choice—just be prepared for some trial and error.
very fun to try escaping different prisons and bulding them
This game is fun and easy with time ti play and it does not get boring quickly. I would recommend this game if you like sandbox games.
Very good game. With Escape-Mode: Create prisons and share them with other players. Prison-Breaks I like the most. Break out from player-created high security-prisons with detectors and cameras. Sadly only singleplayer. Can't wait for PA 2.
Prison... Architects... the two go together like tuesdays and baby oil. This game offers large scale hyper customizable colony management with the twist of any and all danger coming (pretty much) exclusively from the inhabitants of your colony, like you would expect from a prison. The issue is there is no real allegiance to the prisoners. You can ship as many as possible to your prison (there is a daily cap) and then stick them in a communal holding cell and forget about them for the most part, which sounds like exploiting the game a little, but you need to do something along those lines in order to continue architecting your prison. You will really only have enough money to start with a holding cell and a kitchen+canteen. If you were to build traditional cells then you would have to wait ages for the small amount of government issued money you get per prisoner, because cells cost a lot of money and only hold one prisoner it makes more sense to make a giant cell with every evil doer in the land inside of it.
If you can manage doing that then the game gets to more prison stuff. You can make sectioned prisons for each class of prisoner. If you can't handle the intro that I was talking about, the campaign I found very fun, and due to it mostly leaving you in charge of a prefabricated prison, it is very lengthy and worth getting the game alone for, in my opinion. For me at least, I gravitated to games like rimworld more which are more personal and don't force you to have a conscience and not starve all of your inmates for profit. In most colony sims, it is beneficial to have healthy and productive colonists, but in this game the best option is to immobilize all of your prisoners and let them starve to death as you pile more and more into the prison. Needless to say, I am very excited for the second game.
This game is pretty good, and perhaps someday we will see if the sequel is good or if paradox will travel further down the path to becoming ea.
lowkey decent game but so expensive for such a low quality game, i recommend it only if your a banker that has excess amounts of money for such low quality games.
Interesting game, perfect combination with real life and corruption.
Highly recommend this game and it is very fun and very addictive. Taking care of prisoners with their needs and wants. Architecturally building your prison and designing it how you want. Make decisions for pretty much everything and install water pipes and electrical cords to power your prison. Overall this game is very addictive and there's so much that goes into it. Developed it very well
good game but the fucking paradox launcher keeps shitting itself so i have on install it then reinstall but so far lots of fun
What happened to this game? I just want to play. I've been away for a couple of years and imagine my shock when I tried playing today.
What the HECK is the Paradox Launcher? Why do we need it? Why can't I just start a new prison? Why is the menu full of optional content promtps? WHAT HAPPENED
Started the game thinking I’d manage an organised prison. But now Todd "Nabbs" McNabb, the Cereal Killer (convicted for stealing and burning 7000 boxes of marshmallow cereal), is running a gang, riots are constant, and I suspect the janitor’s involved.
It's a chaotic mess. Highly recommend if you enjoy disasters with a side of dark humour. Just don’t forget the basics - like, you know, plumbing.
This game has many small logictics to follow that make it feel real! I love this game more and more by the minute!
This is a very fun! It has WAY more options than on mobile, and i got it for 2.99 when i waited for the fall Discounts! 8/10 would recomend!
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.
