    Prison Architect is overall a pretty fun game, and an interesting take on the building game franchise. It certainly takes a while to get used to, since there are a lot of tips and tricks to learn in order to successfully build/run a prison. However, if you are into building type games, I would recommend.

    I was kinda of hesitant of this game at first, but it was on sale so I gave it shot and it is really fun, It's simcity but your building and maintaining a prison. Quick and easy to learn.

    This is a very creative and unique game, you get to truly manage every facet of running a prison. The game can get a bit monotonous thus the 4 stars, but other than that I would have given perfect score. This game is not for the younger ones though, there is major cussing, drugs, and many adult topics and situations.

    Bought this on the fly. Thought it might be fun. It's a cool little game. Definitely not disappointed in it. Took a little bit of time to figure out but it's fun and worth the money.

    This game is a great time killer for those who like games like The Sims, and Sim City. It's a great mix of both, with a edgy prison twist!

    There aren't many sim games on consoles so this is a game much needed for the platform. A great in depth prison sim.
