*watching mid security reception being built* *Loud gunshot in near distance* *dead alert* *sees a injured armed guard slowly walking away from a dead prisoner.* 10/10
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
Another game that Paradox have destroyed with unnecessary DLC and riddled with bugs they can't be bothered to fix which ruin the playing experience.
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
мне понравилась но ценник как будто высокий можно и за 800 хотя бы
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.
