I met a man who was outside of my house. We talked for a while, then i hear him shouting outside with a bear attacking him.

I run up to him with just a rock hammer in hand and scream "get in my house!" and he does

after he gets in my house i cook us up a nice chicken dinner that we got from some pigs outside of my house. You could say we were friends.

I was cold and needed clothes, and he had some so i killed him for them. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy

the best way to describe this game is if rust had sex with its father, dayz, and then they had a baby and bam this was ♥♥♥♥ out.

Its not that good, very buggy, and I'm worried now that the developers released a 1.0 of the game they're just going to leave it and never touch it again, so be careful with this one.

Looking at the game, you probably think

"oh this is pretty cool"

but if you're me, you immediately jump to conclusions, Pay 2 win,

However i was pretty wrong.


This game is fun, other companies have tried to do what this game did, and they've done it wrong. This company did a pretty decent job at it.


If you're not the best at building, you don't have to fear, you're given 3 basic robots (two land, one that flies) and you can play a little bit and look at other peoples robots.




The game markets 3 guns at you,

The basic gun (which you should never use, its useless as it only goes up and down, limiting you where you can and cant shoot,

The SMG, which is pretty much the basic gun just it can shoot in all directions, as well has a higher rate of fire, Its a pretty good gun for flying robots, as well as hitting things from a distance, but if you get close to someone who has a plasma gun, you're probably going to get destroyed.

and the plasma gun. This little beauty is strong as ♥♥♥♥ and you'll just try to pack as many of these beauties on your gun as possible. It takes a bit of skill to use at a distance, but up close you'll be blowing your enemies away with it. It does have a bit of a cool down (i think like 5-6 seconds) so there is some counter play around it. Its also difficult to hit flying robots with this.

You can only have one type of weapon on each robot, which is okay, It makes deciding which gun you want a more serious choice.



So you start off with 3 different robots, two land, one flying.

The land bots are pretty basic, and they're low armour. They give you a lot of extra armour blocks to help you out with this, because with these basic bots, if you get hit once by a plasma gun you're probably going to get destroyed in one shot. So build armour on your robots.

Building your robot takes strategy, and trial and error. with the ground robots, its important that you add a little, then try it out in game.

with the flying robots if you're going to be adjusting them you're going to want to put them through practice before taking them into actual games, because gravity is in effect so if your robot is too heavy on one side its going to flip over in the air and you'll be flying upside down. Unless you want this its recommended you be careful of what you add to the robot.


Getting destroyed is very literal. your robot has 1 life per match, and if you're destroyed, you have to pay RP (robot points, you get this from winning, ill discuss currency in my next section)

Its usually not a lot, about 93 or so, also you take damage, so even if you don't get destroyed but you tkae damage, you'll have to repair it. This isn't a terrible thing i don't think. It makes it so you try harder not to die. I prefer it this way to be honest.



The currency is pretty good. This is why this game isn't pay to win. You get currency based off of the amount of damage you do in game. the better player you are, the more you get. Also, there is an elo system, so you'll be matched with people who are around your skill level. for going through a match with getting a kill, i get like 350 atleast,

For going through a match without it, i get around 90, thats usually enough to fix your robot.

the shop is good too, since you're getting a lot of currency, the items are pretty cheap, and its all available through rp.

I recommend this game quite a lot. It's very fun, and quite skill based.

This game was really good.

The story was amazing,

the gameplay was amazing

everything about it was great.

I'm impressed.

A lot of blocky graphical like games have some serious flaws in them, most of them don't work at all. This one however works quite well.


Obviously it's not a finished product, and it could use some touchups here and there (hordes are can grow to some serious numbers and can really make you drop frames, even on better computers)

but i think that for what it is right now it's really good, and I'm excited to see what content gets put out in the future

You think you can run a prison?

you probably can

you think you can be nice about it?

Nope

gave my prisoners everything they wanted. still were ♥♥♥♥♥ to my prison guards and killed them all the time.

I live an intrusive live so i enjoyed searching the prisoners once a day and enjoyed finding items i didn't even know exist nor did i have any idea how they could get into a prison

The Game:

The game allows you to select the size of a map (Small, medium, large) and gives you a sum of money which you use to build your starter prison.

You're given about 10 or so minutes (in real time) to construct your prison before the first 10 or so prisoners begin to shuffle in. this is arguably the hardest part of getting a prison started, and it'll take a couple times to get it right, but you'll eventually get it. It just takes a little strategy.

Building is pretty simple, and theres a tutorial to help you out when you start. If you hover over the room in the "rooms" tab you'll see the requirements for the room (for instance a prison cell requires an enclosed space, at least 2x3, and a bed and toilet.

The building takes really no time at all, its setting up the utilities that takes time.

Utilities is essentially anything with plumbing and electricity. for some reason it takes a very long time for the builders to set up the pipe lines for your plumbing and the wiring for your electricity. This can become inconvenient because the flow of prisoners doesn't stop until the code tells it to (theres a certain amount of prisoners that each size map can hold. you can't exceed this number, but if you have below a shipment of new prisoners will show up)


There are multiple different tabs on the interface. It can become quite overwhelming. some of them are a bit hard to understand because a lot isn't instructed of you so i'll explain the most important here, bureaucracy.

bureaucracy essentially is like an upgrade to the jobs you already have. You'll need this if you want different jobs and buildings in your prison like a hospital, armory, guard house, school, and other things.

In order to start, you're going to need to hire a warden. The warden will allow you to start doing things with beurocracy. But your warden NEEDS an office. Just having a warden isn't enough. this is something a lot of people struggle with at the beginning.



Pros-
Games fun,
nice time killer
interesting sim
funny

cons-
A bit expensive
very buggy (but to be expected from early access)
missing content (early access, again)


It's a fun game. I recommend it when its on sale. If you don't see it on sale i wouldn't pay the full price for it because as it stands right now, its not really worth it.



edit: Review in 2022. Original review was 2014 not long after the game was released, and originally recommended the game. Prison Architect is decent, but after all this time there should be way more especially for the value of the game and the DLC. I don't feel like I can recommend a game that has been released for this long that still plays as if it was early access.

This game is still bug ridden, unfortunately this game was published by a company that values pushing DLC rather than fixing some of the seriously broken mechanics about this game that seem to still be in the game almost a decade after the release. Prisoners don't get escorted to their cells for seemingly no reason, the UI is ridiculously hard to read and obnoxious to use, there is no good interface to find out what prisoners are in what cells, what guard is where. No real way to brute force guards to doing things for you either. It's cool this game is still getting new content so long after it's early access release but holy cow there is so much ♥♥♥♥ that should have been fixed by now simply for QOL.

Paradox, for the love of god, stop pushing out DLC and fix some of these blatant problems that make this game so much worse to play.

This game is a lot of fun. It's a giant map, lots of creatures to kill, and multiple game modes (i've only played the normal mode where you kill the waves of dinosaurs and secure points)

Good:

This game is fun. It's just hours of fun. It's on sale now for a 4 pack for like $2 and i recommend it because it is so much better to play with friends. Not only is it fun, there are aspects that are super funny (for instance driving a car into a giant dinosaur and having it ram it will cause you to fly across the map, its really funny to watch actually )

It's a futuristic game I'd honestly compare to killing floor. For those who haven't played killing floor, it's kind of like Nazi zombies from call of duty with a really large map and more objectives and dinosaurs instead of zombies. It's kind of has a Halo like character and weapons placed in a Turok like world (that's said in one of the professional reviews, and its 100% correct!)


The game has a lot of weapons, which you can buy from collecting credits from killing dinosaurs (obviously the bigger the dinosaur the more credits you get)


but the weapons are only a small part. Obviously there is a weapon aspect to the game where buying guns = you getting stronger, but there are also upgrades you can buy with credits which give you a bunch of different abilities such as the ability to not take fall damage, have a larger shield health, wield multiple weapons of one type (for instances you can normally only wield one primary weapon at a time, but with a specific buff you can buy it allows you to wield multiple)

I've only played the game for a short while, but i can already see it being a great game.


Problems:

There are an aray of problems, most of them around the guns. They work, and they do damage, but the animation is off. Usually you'd expect a recoil and a flare out of the gun nozzle when you fire, but you don't get either. The gun barely knocks back at all and it is actually quite difficult to tell if you're actually firing a weapon without sound.

Also, the bullets when they hit the enemy, just make numbers appear (the amount of damage dealt). Generally you'd see something like a splatter from the enemy to show you'd hit them, but no. This isn't super bad, but it's kind of something you have to get used to.

Also the driving is halo style (this isn't really bad, just something that should be noted) meaning, you control the direction of the car with your mouse or the direction your screen is facing (so if you're facing to the right, you'll turn right)


My largest complaint, is with the bow. When i fire a bow, I'd like to see the arrow actually fly. Not just a little white light that appears for half a second. I'd like to see the arrow instead of nothing so i can see where i'm missing and by how far when I'm shooting it. Especially this comes in handy when dealing in long ranged situations.



Conclusion:

Overall the game is a lot of fun and i've enjoyed it with the time i've played. I don't recommend playing this alone, i'd recommend getting a few friends to play it with you (at the moment it's .99 which is SUPER worth it.) and playing it together.
