Multiplayer is down. This has been an issue since 2021

Would recommend

A few years ago I would've said that this is a great game and 100 percent worth buying. Now, not so much. I mean honestly, how did they manage to take a good game and make it this bad? If you do make the mistake of buying this hot dumpster fire of a game, play the 2018 beta, before paradox took over.

Do not recommend. Very buggy. Got it on sale for 5 bucks and it was not worth it.

I LOVE THIS GAME

Prison Architect is what I would think Rim World is but a cheaper version, with less complexity but hey who knows I'm too cheap to buy RIMWORLD to truly say.
Prison Architect is a sandbox, base/prison building game, where you do your best to create an awesome prison. Or heck in my case an awesome plant to make money off of growing tress.
There's everything from gangs, riots, escapees, death-row inmates, perverts, scandals, drugs, violence, oppression, reforming programs, Free Education, Free medical coverage, all the things you can think of related You know all the good things that make you want to go to prison.
There are a few different game modes, and DLC'S, which include escaping from the prison playing as an inmate. Campaign mode, which helps you understanding how to play the game.... granted on Campaign 5 one of the achievements doesn't work properly for newer players. Sandbox mode where you can start from scratch, and a nice workshop, where you can upload and download prisons. Overall I found my self constantly trying to find out how to get things to work, but the game did suck me in and had me loosing track of time. Please note this is probably my first game if this style thus those experienced with Base sim buildings will probably find it easier than me. A must get for those who want a nice cheap base/city building simulator that provides thousands of options and probably hundreds of hours of game play value.

PROS:
Definitely felt like I was building and running a prison.

NEUTRAL:
Limitations: Everything requires some “engine” to build another part to function the way it's supposed to even if it may or may not make sense.
Controls/UI


CONS:
2 achievements that seem not to work unless you manipulate the games data.
Bugs (errors).
