Prison Architect

The game is not payable for me. It loads up and all click-points are misaligned with the mouse cursor. I couldn't even read the Warden's letter because the text was cut off on the right.
I've tried different monitors and different mouse devices. No good.
Uninstalling to get rid of a useless game to me. :(

Addictive. Helps understand how challenging building and managing a prison can be. Excited and waiting for PA 2.

It might take a little to learn how to make good prisons, but once you get the hang of it it is so fun! i also highly recommend escape mode

Very early supporter of this game, loved playing this for years. Sadly the devs gutted so many base mechanics to a half baked "legacy" version and sold the real version as overpriced DLC. Now they're going to release a prison architect 2 whenever, despite this game still being buggy as hell with or without DLC. If you can deal with that you'll probably still enjoy the game. Don't pick it up unless it's on sale, same goes with the DLCs. I want to support continue to support the dev team but I will not be buying Prison Architect 2.

Great game, really well done, love sandbox mode. 10/10

Great game excited for number two. keep at it at first you might struggle but in time with practice this game can take hours of your time days even!

One of the more compelling tutorials I have seen for a game like this. I enjoy the simplicity of the UI and mechanics, and it is a fun and unique base building, colony management game, with a lot of depth.

Its a fun game from the perspective of great masterminding forethought and beyond multi tiered chess level planning. unfortunately this isnt simply because of the complexity and aggression of the inmates but also your workman's aggressively-retarded movement and workload prioritization. the majority of your issues will come from one.. poor planing yeah thats on me. but then you correct your poor planing and then you fail here or there because of the workmen choosing the most incompetent routes they can manage to take, rushing to bunch up on eachother, not permitting one another to get through a door, oh and i love this one When the workmanager script chooses a workman on the other end of your prison to do a repair with resources 3 football feilds away when the workman nearest the repair site sitting next to the required supplies in the storage area directly behind him decides hes gona just twitch back and forth for 5 hours.

ON the flip tho, that does explain why my local highway has been under construction since i was 3 and im 30 now, they've made 10 miles progress. LEGIT REALISTIC WORKMEN AI script.

dont take it too seriously right now im only 22 hours into a city builder, thats like 25 minutes in a shooter.

Paradox took a pretty good game, made it noticeably worse, refused to fix any problems/bugs, migrated the game over to their terrible launcher for no obvious reason (meaning the game lost some features only accessible directly through steam), changed the EULA to be more exploitative, and then removed content from the base game in order to sell it back as dlc

This game is very good. So fucking good. Has complex systems that it eases you into, it doesn't just body slam you with complexity, it slowly adds pressure and eventually you have a ton of stuff to keep track of. Could not recommend enough

Was a great game prior to PI obtaining it.
Since introduced breaking bugs and PI dlc tax. Still playable.
Value $15.

game is pretty simple once you know all of the controls, and it never gets boring for some reasson

I love this game I can build The prison however i want is great sandbox game just to prisons is cool well that what i think.

Tried playing the game, but was no able to see my mouse whenever I tried playing the game. Searched around online and couldn't find why this was happening, or how to fix it.

Excellent and in-depth game with a great art style. You can choose to play for fun or get into the gritty details of running a designing and running a prison.

It's a great game but due to the devs abandoning it your prison will probably become unmanageable due to a NUMBER of bugs. The worst one I've encountered is a bug where the prisoners will just refuse to eat and the guards won't take prisoners out of solitary so there would be hundreds of inmates just detained, leading to starvation. Personally, I would wait until the sequel unless this game goes on sale

this was a very fun game but they abandoned it for the sequel and left a large number of bugs, some of which are entirely game breaking, and have stated they aren't going to fix them

The menu will drive you insane, building is alot of clicking left and right to switch between the many wall and door skins, and when switching through the numerous items, resets. And you have to click 12 times to the right again, to go back to the matching wall skin. Then you forget because of the top down view, if you were trying to use a specific wall type. why not a drop down atleast?

A little complicated at first, but once you get the basics down its fun.
Just watch out for fires.

if you like keeping people in cages and denying them access to clean clothes and fresh food this is the game for you

Probably a really great game, except its 2024 and the second tutorial/campaign level where you rebuild the kitchen and canteen is still bugged, build AT LEAST 6 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TABLES.

Pretty solid management game, I thoroughly enjoyed the creative elements it allows a player to have. I would certainly recommend this game.

rison Architect is a well-received simulation and strategy game where players design, build, and manage a maximum-security prison. Released by Introversion Software, the game shines for its complex systems, engaging mechanics, and freedom of creativity. Players control everything from cell layouts to rehabilitation programs, aiming to balance safety, efficiency, and humane treatment.

I played this alot on my Xbox 360. It was fun, and now older I played this game again and I still enjoy it time to time.

This game is so in depth, I am impressed, I love tycoon and simulation games, and rpgs, this one is a great mix of storytelling and sim/managment.

good game, the modding community is great and now i can summon national guard to gun down all of the rioting prisoners

It's a steep ask at $30 these days, and the array of Paradox Interactive cash-grab DLCs doesn't appear to add anything fun to the game. Skip.

4 hours playing it and most of it makes zero sense. the toilets won't connect to the water system, you have to wait 6 irl hours to unlock the ability to deploy guards to specific buildings wtf. none of this makes any sense, and is not fun.

It's a nice game but horribly unrealistic.
We own a private prison but and is no profitable cheap or unpaid labour.

Great game for management and planning i love how you can add modifiers and mods to make it more difficult this game was and still is a great game

In the campaign there is a bug, in which you cant progress unless you buy DLC. Fuck your meeting room with 8 chairs, I will never endorse your game or play it again.

Its a waste though the game could be fun...

First few play attempts, my prisons were overrun with rioting prisoners and i couldn't build fast enough to keep things running!!! Rage quitted for a while. But alas... All i had to do was adjust the intake rate and stop the flow of excessive prisoners from arriving non-stop and it became a fun and engaging game! Definitely recommend if you like simulator and building games.
