Prison Architect 2 is the follow-up to 2015’s Prison Architect. Like the first game, Prison Architect 2 tasks you with designing, constructing, and maintaining a high-security prison facility. Not only do you need to keep your building secure to prevent inmates from escaping or rioting, but you must also manage the guard staff and maintain the prison’s infrastructure to keep everything running smoothly. While the first game used a top-down 2D perspective, Prison Architect 2 features 3D graphics and full camera control. it also introduces new gameplay elements like multi-floor prisons, more design tools, and an expanded Career Mode single-player campaign.
If you’re intrigued by Prison Architect 2’s premise but haven’t played the original, you’re in luck. The first Prison Architect and its many expansions are also discounted at Fanatical right now. All game keys purchased at Fanatical are delivered to your email after checkout and are redeemable on Steam.
