I love these games and grew up playing zoo and rollercoaster tycoon. I played the campaign twice in order to learn how to play. But the game crashed more times than I can remember. There were also features like too many deliveries halting everything and no explanation how to solve the problem. There were so many things with little to no explanation how they worked or how you fixed it that it felt unplayable. I’ve tried multiple times to come back to this game over the years.
It's fun and addictive, but it's way too buggy and unpolished for a game that's $30. Get it if it's on sale, but don't pay more than half price for it--less if you can. Just not worth the price.
Even after this game being made ages ago, Its still a very fun game and i love everything about it
The best about this game is that you can build any kind of prison you can think of
Oh my God, did I goon too much or is the resolution just god awful now?
I like making contained mini prisons as well as isolated prisons. I have one mod that makes the drink machine provide food so I put one in their cells. I make very luxurious prisons instead of cramming them in like sardines.
Fun game where there is always something going and and always something to do.
Kesinlikle oneririm ozellikle bu tarz ugrasi seviyorsanız ve bir seyleri kurmayı ve yonetmeyi seviyorsanız aradıgınız oyundur. Kısaca hapishane kuruyosun mahkumları istediginiz sartlarda tutup yonetip hapishaneyi büyüttügünüz bir oyun.
