Critic Reviews for Prison Architect
Prison Architect is one of the most in-depth, satisfying builder games in ages, if you can get past the initiation.
Emerging from Early Access lean and focused, Prison Architect is one of the best management games in a long time.
A great simulation game that works impressively well on consoles. Although at times it almost feels like a psychology study of the player rather than the inmates.
A great simulation game that recalls the glory days of Theme Hospital et al. Although at times it almost feels like a psychology study of the player rather than the inmates.
Great moments emerge naturally from well-made simulations, and Prison Architect has no shortage
Tonally schizophrenic, yet still one of the more fascinating game experiences ever made.
A deep, absorbing prison sim that won't teach you anything about mass incarceration in America. Enough interlocking systems to keep your mind off the systemic inequities in our actual prison system. The campaign can be boring and the tutorials are inadequate. Escape mode is disappointing.
