Prison Architect

Probably shouldnt...



Anyways, Im over 40 hours in and the game just sucks you in so much. Im working on this super prison with capacity for almost 500 prisoners, with minimum security, medium sec, maximum sec, and supermax areas. So far, no riots which is nice but I only have about 50 prisoners as I only get prisoner transports of anywhere between 8-20 prisoners at a time so it will be a while before I have to deal with a huge number of inmates. One downside of the game is that it can go kinda slowly. Time ticks by and waiting 24 hours for new prisoners can feel like ages, even at the 3x speed considering that 3x isnt that much faster than 1x, which is a real problem. You also have problems with how fast inmates and other staff move because if it takes prisoners two hours to get from their cell to the canteen area, that causes real problems especially since you dont want to just unlock every jail door just for lunch. Kinda annoying as I have to give my supermax prisoners 3 hours for lunch because otherwise they would starve.

AI can be kinda stupid sometimes but overall its decent. The huge maps can run kinda sluggishly which isnt so great but its not so bad that its game breaking. A minor annoyance at best.
