Is Prison Simulator worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a prison-guard role-playing game rather than a general life simulator
- Simulation fans interested in inmate searches, weapon upkeep, and prison routines
- Streamers looking for a game built around authority choices and prison activities
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad management game with many facility-building systems may find the guard-focused duties narrow
- Players who want constant action may find the routine tasks and break activities slow-paced
- Players looking for a serious, consequence-driven prison drama may not want its home-based fictional framing
Our take on Prison Simulator
The defining choice is how the guard behaves toward inmates: the game frames authority as a decision between acting like a model officer and abusing that position.
What is Prison Simulator?
Prison Simulator places the player in the role of a prison guard responsible for maintaining order and handling daily duties.
Activities include searching for contraband, maintaining guns, and playing basketball during breaks. The game also includes prison management and a story set inside the facility. A prisoner creator allows custom inmate designs, while role-based choices let the guard act as either a model officer or an abusive one. The game presents prison life through routine tasks, authority over inmates, and decisions about conduct. It is also presented as suitable for Twitch and YouTube streaming.
