[asdfwyay]

It's definently worth it

[FaYaY]

i don't recomend it. The game hasn't put any updates for so long only those dlc's

[airgetlamhbv2]

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it, sure the base game is fun, yet in the time of release they've added more DLC, anew game that uses the engine but it's the walking dead edition for full price and when you look at it as a whole, they are just nickle and diming the consumer.

It's a bit sad honestly, I don't see myself supporting this dev team because they put in minimal effort to charge 3-4 dollars for content where if they had 5 maps per DLC, I'd be all for it, but to only have 1 new map that you have to for in order to play a unique experience that is unique to that single map, I have an issue with that. It's a single experience that once you figure out how to win you have nothing much to lookforward to and that's a shame. What made teh base game fun were the fact you had different maps to play through but with each DLC only offering 1 map it's like, why.

I totally agree with you. Even tough im glad they added the workshop made me put in a few hours but after a while it got boring

Just to clear things up, this game is no longer in Steam Early Access. It was released as a full game in February 2015 and the store page lists exactly what a buyer is getting. Making huge changes and updates to the core game post release/reviews (aside from bugfixing/balancing) isn't really how it works generally. Check out some of the reviews here on Steam, across the web, and youtube vids -see if it's something you think you'd enjoy.

And... regarding the bonus map DLCs, they aren't just a quick hour of work in the map editor :P Any new content, DLC or not, costs money and time to design, to code in new mechanics and features, for artists to make new tilesets, objects and sprites, for a composer to make new music for, to port to five different systems (with all the headaches that brings), for a translation company to translate the new text into multiple languages, and for a QA team to spend weeks testing all the builds (windows, mac, linux, xbox one, ps4). All these services cost money to develop and keep people in jobs, that's just how business works :)

Personally I rarely buy DLCs myself as I never finish games, but for those that want more content besides the thousands of user made maps (a lot of really good ones too), the option is there.

I'm happy with the price of Fhurst Peak. One dollar is about what I would expect for a brand new prison and it came out before the map editor was available so it was nice to have something new to play when I exhausted the original content. Alcatraz was a little steep for a single map. It was good, but not really two dollars good.

I can't provide any input regarding Escape Team or Duct Tapes are Forever because I don't plan on spend $4 for a single map, no matter how much new content it might add or interesting game mechanics might be available, so I haven't played either of them yet. I will probably pick them up during the next big sale, assuming they get at least a fifty percent mark down to place them in my DLC sweetspot.

The base game is complete and well-put together. I would have liked a few more maps in the original game because when I played it for the first time, I eventually finished all the maps and was disappointed to learn that the map editor wasn't available yet and there were no new prisons to conquer. If anything, the fact that my main complaint is that I wish I could play more of this game means it can't be that bad of a game. The gameplay is solid, the artwork is appealing, the music is pleasant and the prisons are brutal. Paired with Prison Architect, you can experience the joys of building a prison and the joys of escaping prison for the perfect two-part prison experience. At this point, the additional fan generated content more than make up for the relative brevity of the base game and the paid DLCs provide new high-quality maps to explore, for a little extra money. I'm happy to give a little extra to support the game developers as long as the additional content is reasonablly priced. And if you don't want the extra maps, you can just enjoy the orignal prisons and play fan-made prisons until you see duct tape in your sleep.

We don't want DLC's we want updates to the main game

[DestinyCall]

The main game is out of Early Access and considered complete at this point. It is a finished product, so I think it is safe to say it will not be getting any more major updates. At best, you can hope for an expansion or sequel. Wishing for more free content will not change anything, I'm afraid.

It isn't worth it. They are just moneygrabbers

Its a pretty fun game, gets hard in the later levels but even if you don't reach the end you should get enough hours out of it to feel like it was worth it. Also remember you can refund it within 2 hours of playtime if you don't like it.
