The game features a light music background that melts subtly into the background and is not repetitive to the point of annoyance. This area allows you to browse, download and play other player’s prisons, and some of them are geometric wonders and preciously crafted. Players can share their creation in World of Wardens in the game. I like the stories, they were good fun and the cut scenes worked really nicely. These five story chapters will bring you up to speed with everything you need to understand within the game. Players can easily speed up time and undo immediate building mistakes.įor new players to the game I strongly recommend playing the tutorial called Prison Stories. If walls overlap you’re not getting charged again for the materials. The clone tool, which works like copy and paste comes in very handy. There are now quick rooms for players so you don’t have to meticulously map out each cell.

There’s dozens of things like this on the console version to make things a lot quicker and easier. If you hover over a wall you can just add doors immediately. Well I should purchase those objects, press square again and you see the objects that would be in a cell.

What’s going wrong? Press square, it needs a bed and a toilet. It tells you that there are missing objects. Let’s say you want to build a cell and have created the four walls and labeled it as a cell. If you are not doing something correctly they will tell you, like build a laundry if the hygiene of the prisoners is becoming a problem. The staff in the game like the wardens are empowering you with what to do next. The game features a brand new overhauled UI and control system, as well as in game messaging as opposed to the wikis, forums and guides PC users had.ĭouble Eleven have excelled themselves with this port, they have kept the complexity for the obsessives like me, but made the game accessible to new players. It’s the UI and control scheme that demands the most attention in this review, as this could be the deciding factor for purchasing this game for consoles. Reviewing Prison Architect on the Playstation 4 has been interesting.
