Prison Architect: PlayStation 4 Edition brings an instant classic to console with a lot of retained charm, fun, and control. The prison builder experience is almost identical, with a few hiccups along the way, and there are major improvements with this edition that make up for the wonky controls of an analog stick over a mouse, and the lack of user-created mods.

Prison Architect is a fantastic strategy sim which highlights both the difficulty of running a prison and keeping a lot of prisoners happy.

A great simulation game that works impressively well on consoles. Although at times it almost feels like a psychology study of the player rather than the inmates. Pros: Extremely detailed simulation, with a huge number of interconnected systems and superb joypad controls.

This port of the popular PC prison-building game has been nicely executed to deliver a deep and compelling experience on consoles. Its complex menus and mechanics present a fairly steep learning curve, even with the game's effective tutorials, but once you get over it, Prison Architect is a challenging, entertaining, and surprisingly addictive game that offers plenty of potential for long-term play.
