The best about this game is that you can build any kind of prison you can think of
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.
Epic game. Thats all i can say.

!DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Before all the updates/dlcs the game was very fun but now the game is VERY buggy and if you build a large prison it will either corrupt the save or start pausing every 10/15 secs due to the AI being poorly optimized. also the devs have ABANDONED this game, they are too caught up making prison architect 2 and expecting people to buy that. all prison architect 2 is just a optimized version of prison architect with 3D models. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS CORPRATE SLOP!

GOOD ESCAPE MODE
Prison Architect est l’un des jeux de gestion les plus intelligents et les plus captivants du genre. Il parvient à transformer un concept atypique, celui de construire et gérer une prison, en une expérience riche, stratégique et étonnamment immersive. Chaque décision influence le fonctionnement global de l’établissement, qu’il s’agisse de la disposition des cellules, de l’organisation des routines quotidiennes ou de la gestion des incidents. Le gameplay est profond, clair et très bien pensé, ce qui permet d’imaginer une infinité de prisons différentes, allant du centre de réhabilitation modèle à la forteresse ultra sécurisée. Le style visuel volontairement simple met en valeur la dimension stratégique du jeu et laisse toute la place aux histoires émergentes. Les prisonniers, les gardiens, les imprévus et les tensions créent une dynamique vivante qui donne envie d’anticiper, d’optimiser et de réagir avec sang‑froid. Chaque partie raconte quelque chose de différent et c’est ce qui rend Prison Architect particulièrement addictif. La rejouabilité est immense grâce aux scénarios, aux mises à jour régulières et au contenu proposé par la communauté. On revient facilement pour tester de nouvelles idées, corriger ses erreurs ou repousser les limites de son imagination. En résumé, Prison Architect est un véritable bijou de gestion, à la fois profond, créatif et passionnant. Un incontournable pour tous ceux qui aiment les jeux de stratégie et de simulation.
