I absolutely love this game to my absolute core , best £24 of my life
I've been on the fence with this game, and I think ultimately it's not quite what I wanted when I bought it. It's not bad, and the free play option was quite fun, but I got bored of it quite quickly. The story mode felt a bit strung out and I realised that what I wanted was a free play mode, as the stop and start from the cut scenes became a bit annoying. It's a bit unobvious at first, as nothing says "free play" when you start, but you just have to go into the pause menu and click "New Prison" or whatever it says. This boosted my enjoyment, as I was able to get into it without disruption. I really enjoy strategic resource management games, but this one felt a tad limited.
10/10
fun building a prison
not feeling it
DLC fest and cashgrab, good game but wouldn't recommend spending money on the DLC, IYKYK is all I'll say.
