    Oyunda bir yerden sonra, neredeyse sadece bekleyerek para kazanıyorsun. Bu da çok sıkıcı yapıyor işi.

    Не знаю откуда столько восторженных отзывов, игра, как по мне, посредственна, нет ничего интересного, один раз на вечером для ознакомления и дальнейшего удаления. 5/10

    Prison Architect is, definitely, an interesting game - but it doesn't port, particularly, well to the PS4.

    The game plays well enough, but it misses a huge amount of things from the PC version and can, really, struggle for performance when you try to build larger prisons with higher amounts of inmates.

    I did enjoy the game, but too many little niggles for me to consider the PS version to be worth it over PC.    … Expand

    Navigation on the PS4 port might be slightly wonky, but you get used to it. This is a crazily thorough and thoughtful management sim; slick and surprising enough to recommend regardless of format.

    Underneath the cute exterior lies a tough-as-nails sim exposing the realities of prison life. If you can see past a few offences, lock your door and lose the key. [September 2016, p72]

    Whether intentional or not Prison Architect isn’t just a creative outlet to ‘build stuff’, but it’s also made me stop and think about the kinds of things that are needed to run a facility such as this. I suppose that’s why I ensured my inmates had the ability to work and learn during their time in prison so that one day they might have a better shot in the real world. No matter how you run your prison Introversion Software has provided everyone with complete freedom to handle things in any number of ways. More importantly the campaign and a number of other quality-of-life features help to ensure that the game itself is fun and rarely overwhelming.
