Prison Architect encourages you to play through the aptly named “prison stories” missions to begin with in order to familiarise yourself with how the game works, how to build the basics of your prison and how to manage prisoners and prison staff needs. It’s most certainly a game aimed at a more mature audience with its references to drugs, murder and foul language, topped by the ability to execute prisoners with – as the game puts it – “2000 volts of justice” from the electric chair.
It sees you building up your own prison from scratch in any way you like whilst also contending with a steady stream of prisoners of varying security levels.Įven though Prison Architect boasts an aesthetically pleasing cartoon art style, you shouldn’t let it deceive you. Prison Architect is a construction and management game at its core, similarly to some of my favourite games of old – RollerCoaster Tycoon and Theme Hospital.
