Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best UK #79, worst BR #94 · 5 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 11.14/day in the week after.

Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Prison Architect je management simulátor, kde si postavíš vlastní věznici… a pak se snažíš, aby ti tam všechno úplně nespadlo do chaosu. A věř, že to není tak jednoduché, jak to vypadá. Na začátku řešíš základ – cely, jídelnu, sprchy. Jenže postupně se hra začne rozjíždět: vězni mají potřeby, nálady a sklony k násilí. Stačí špatně navržený režim dne nebo přeplněná místnost a během chvíle máš vzpouru na krku. Hra skvěle kombinuje stavění, management a krizové situace. Musíš řešit finance, zaměstnance (dozorce, doktory, psychology), bezpečnost i logistiku. Každé rozhodnutí má dopad – třeba šetření na ostraze se ti může dost rychle vymstít. Velkým plusem je, že hra tě nechá experimentovat. Můžeš mít přísný vězeňský režim, nebo se snažit o „rehabilitační“ věznici. A většinou skončíš někde mezi… podle toho, jak moc ti to začne hořet pod rukama. Grafika je jednoduchá, ale přehledná a funkční. Důležitější je, že hra má skvělou atmosféru a dokáže generovat dost zajímavé situace – od pokusů o útěk až po hromadné nepokoje. Na druhou stranu: learning curve je trochu vyšší některé systémy nejsou úplně intuitivní a ve větších věznicích může být chaos už dost těžko zvládnutelný Shrnutí: ✔ Hluboký a návykový management ✔ Spousta možností, jak hrát ✔ Nečekané krizové situace ✖ Složitější začátek ✖ Místy nepřehlednost ve větším měřítku Hodnocení: 8.5/10 Prison Architect je skvělá hra pro každého, kdo má rád budování a management. Jen počítej s tím, že dřív nebo později se ti ta věznice stejně nějak rozpadne 😄
