Its quite good except the AI of the people is horrible and the building is dreadfull
I'd only recommend this game if you enjoy building stuff. Concept of this game was fun, and the devs kept on updating. But I guess this is not my cup of tea.

Крутая игра, отдельно понравился ОМОН, в реальности они такие же , 10 омоновцев из 10.
Prisons are good. We need more of them. I, myself, think that I should be locked up.
Эта игра великолепна тем, что, даже когда все летит в трубу, по всей тюрьме бунты, обезьяны крушат мебель и избивают вертухаев, а начальство угрожает тебе, что посадит тебя в эти же казематы, ты все равно получаешь одни только положительные эмоции и удовольствие от игры.
Prison Architect to gra, która ma w sobie coś wyjątkowego, co sprawia, że regularnie chce się do niej wracać. Wielką przyjemność stanowi tu projektowanie i rozwijanie własnego więzienia, co daje dużą swobodę i satysfakcję z planowania. Można ją trochę porównać do „The Sims” w wersji 2D, choć z dużo bardziej surowym i brutalnym charakterem rozgrywki. Zarządzanie więźniami, infrastrukturą oraz utrzymanie porządku w placówce tworzy ciekawą mieszankę strategii i symulacji. To tytuł, który nie musi oferować dynamicznej akcji, żeby wciągać, jego siłą jest kreatywność gracza i ciągłe dopracowywanie własnych projektów.
can we please please pleaseeeee get an update or even a dlc to escape mode. legit the only dopwnfall to this game. if the devs hear this it would really bring hype rather then some space dlc. who wants to build a prision in space?? give the community something they want for a change. it might change some perspectives
I like this game but it really irritates me that it is so glitchy still. Right in the middle of your building project the workers will just quit and not work. It's also incredibly difficult to schedule anything.
