Prison Architect

Paradox bought the IP aand have just forced a launcher on us and we have to be logged in to play FCK DRM!

I sought this game out to buy today, and chose not to because of the Paradox login requirement. Doesn't belong on gog.com.

Paradox can go suck a fat one

I really wanted to like this game. A lot. For some hours, the starting ones, i was even able to do it. Then the reality hitted me with the grace of a mace's hit in the face. This game is buggy in its core mechanics and the bugs are punctual, no matter what you will do. After some hours they will appear and you will be not able to do nothing about them. The janitors mechanics is broken, you can have a small/medium prison of 300 prisoners and 250 janitors will be unable to keep it clean because they will mindlessly run from a side to another of the prison without stopping for the three seconds necessary to clean it. I tested it on every single prison i build. From the first version. And this bug is here even now that we are at the seventh version people, the seventh! Unbelievable. One of your rooms will bug itself inevitably. After some hours into the game, this will happen. Always. Every. Single. Time. The room and the object inside it will become untouchables, nothing on the earth will move that chair, will dump that table o simply erasing the whole room from the AI routines. Wasting all your enjoyment of freedom and liberty your only option will be to accept the reality and to plan your actual and future expasions on this bug, ruining one of the pillars of the game. The freedom in the planning and building phases. Until your next bugged room, after which you will simply restart again and again and again, discovering that the bugs in this game, in the Seventh C Version are punctual. And accurate. They'll never miss a shot. Never. From its first release. If you will play in a prison with special events enabled expect to save after you solved a special situation just to load and find youself again in the same situation, because...... Well I have no valid reasons that came up to my mind after the seventh version of a game. This is a savegame bug, come one. Things like this should happen only in alpha, maybe in beta, but never and i would totally say never in a 1.0 version of a finished product. But oh right..... Have I already told you that we are currently at the 7C version? Maybe yes. I wanted to like it, to some extension i did but every hope is gone and I'm sick and tired of returning to this game just to try that nothing changes. Apart from the version's name. Be warned future customers, maybe it will a wise decision to buy this game after the twentieth version. Before that you are basically rolling a dice, a rigged one.
