Prison Architect

[Golddisk]

Did anyone get this game from Steam? Its pretty highly rated (or at least was when I downloaded it, I haven't check into it recently.) The game was enjoyable when I first got it but I haven't played it much recently. There are some cool features on it and a lot of different things you can do. Its a major improvement over any of the "Prison Tycoon" games, with few glitches or other issues.

I love it. It's so easy to pick up and play, and I've definitely dumped a lot of hours into it. I still have a hard time managing bigger prisons, but I think that's just my poor strategy and not a fault of the game.

Yeah, it is definitely hard to plan out how to build your prison from a small tiny facility to one that holds a few hundred with various levels of security. It's basically something you need to plan out right from when you start building stuff.

True that. I almost always start with a reception and holding cell area that everyone goes to first, and try and making branching cells from there. Once I hit about 50 prisoners, no matter how many guards, it just gets out of control.

Hmm, I've had like 200 prisoners in my prison and had it run "decently". Someone gets killed every few days, but otherwise it is somewhat in control, haha. I only get to those numbers when I get bored with a small amount of prisoners so I change the settings to where I will accept every prisoner of each class.

I'll have to play with unlimited funds and find some good strategies one of these days.
