Title: Prison Architect Does Not Suck
Post by: bboyer66 on November 18, 2013, 09:28:52 AM
 Having spent over 100 dollars the past month on BF4 and X-Afterbirth, the game I find myself playing the most is the one I bought on a whim for 15 dollars, Prison Architect.
 
Lots of enjoyment to be had building a prison and keeping it properly staffed. The first time you have a riot in the laundry room and 2 guards get killed by shanks, you know shit is for real yo. Or when you have a prisoner escape by tunneling out of his jail cell Andy Dufresne style.

Still technically in Alpha, this game is more polished then a lot of games have been on release recently.

Check it out

Yes, all your prisoners dancing in the yard to Michael Jackson's Thriller. Pretty cool

^ I can't believe you just gave that away!

Are there modes to build prisons in different time periods or are they all contemporary?

Don't forget to keep an eye out for a rather tawdry prisoner nicknamed 'spelk'. :)

It only worked during Halloween so its not like anyone could see it anymore.

Its a modern Prison Gus. Of course you can build the prison to your liking making it how you like. No TV, no pay phones, no pool tables, no yard, etc.

I think I'll wait for the Gulag or concentration camp DLC.  :)

Right now on Steam it's $30 for that early access. Spend $50 and you get to name a prisoner and fill in a bio.

I could see some shankadelic wargame aficionado going postal at a game store. That would be fun to write up.

We want them to suffer, not be pampered with such niceties as cable television and soccer fields.  :P

You could always hire the Spanish Inquisition.

It does seem like a good game (from the videos) that has the potential to expand into other venues.

What's this?  A Star Wars mod for Prison Architect?




I may have to try this out sometime!
