A little buggy sometimes but pretty fun!
Worth my money. Great for masochists and micro-managers.
Build a prison and watch it fall apart. Been a player since early access and the games always been a fun time sink.

sehr gutes spiel
Prison Architect is one of the most entertaining management games I've played. Building and running your own prison is much more challenging than it sounds because you have to think about security, prisoner needs, staff management, and your budget all at the same time. I like that every prison feels different, and unexpected situations like riots or escape attempts keep the gameplay exciting. Even when things go completely wrong, it's usually more funny than frustrating. The game has a lot of replay value, and I always find myself wanting to start a new prison with a better layout.
This game is one of a kind
