Good game but it is hard to understand at the begin i think there is some lack of tutorial and assistance but over all after a bit of playing you will probably understand (almost everything) so it isnt that big a deal. And last but not least: mods in steam workshop

Fun
Lots of content
Takes long
Can get annoying

I have played this game for a long time and its very addictive, there are issues however things like dead bodies piling up. At one point half of the prison was taken up with housing the dead. Its a fun game though. Well worth the money and I do hope that they decide to make second version, maybe make it a little more like the UK prisons

Very addictive
easy to pick up and play
glitches that cause issues
Little easy to complete

Out of many tycoons and simulators, this one is really well developed. I played PA since early betas and it's amazing how it changed for the better. Add many cool mods to that and you have perfect simulator to sink your time in.

Cool graphics
Pathfinding is somewhat poor

Great game, very exciting and challenging! When I first purchased the game I expected it to be a nice game but the game got even beyond my expectations. It's such an exciting game to play and one of the best prison build simulators game at the market right now!
