all hırts are in this prison i never build a mess hall and wc
Very good game. I tried it free on xbox in the past bought it then, and now I bought it on computer.
特别好玩,小时候从手机版入坑的宝藏游戏,现在玩端游版就完全不会有卡顿的情况了,很流畅,DLC很丰富,根本玩不腻啊! 造监狱真的很爽啊,监狱建造师和环宇宙交叉服用,简直完美,妈妈再也不用担心我的睡眠问题了~
came back after not playing for a while. Without any confirmation it installed a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM on my system. No mention of this, no pop up. Just installed malware on my pc without my permission. What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ company
This is a fun game, BUT there are way too many bugs that make the overall experience much worse. If you do buy it, the first thing you should do is install the Ozone's Fixes mod from the Steam workshop, which fixes most bugs (It shouldn't take a modder to make a game playable, but I do very much appreciate the person who made the mod).
Неужели во всей стране, моя тюрьма единственная? Начинаешь строить нормальную тюрягу, а под конец моя тюрьма превращается в место жительство мигрантов из средней Азии (как минимум по плотности)

прикольная игрушка хорошо затягивает. как и строительство просчитывание планирование зон и понимание логики потребностей и устройства режимов это здорово. ачивки тоже большинство выполнимые за исключением сбора снимков и страниц. так как не понятно где и когда они там появляются - прозевать их слишком легко особенно когда разрослась тюрьма на огромную площадь заметить где то снимок или страницу просто не реальное действие так что эти две ачивки собрать практически не реально будет но в остальном игра крутая. НО есть но. Сюжетка маловата прям сильно маловата. можно бы было сделать ее гораздо обширнее и задействовать прям всю механику все возможности игры сопрягая это все с сюжетной линией. вобщем лора не хватило сильно. тем не менее игра хороша.
Joined game not knowing what to do Make prison where death happens daily Eventually finds out you make good money for killing imnates Warden have private island sipping champaine while the prisoners suffer 10/10 would build a military prison again
Pretty fun.
