Fun Little Management Game If you've played Prison Architect, you'll probably feel right at home with Academia: School Simulator. It has a very similar style of building, managing staff, and dealing with everything happening around your facility, but the school setting gives it a different feel. That said, I don't think it's quite as enjoyable as Prison Architect. There's something about the gameplay that doesn't feel quite as engaging, but it's still a genuinely fun game and I found myself getting hooked pretty easily. The graphics are good, and the overall visuals look great. Everything is clear and easy to follow, and the game runs really well without any noticeable performance issues. The music is also surprisingly good and fits the game perfectly without becoming annoying after playing for a while. The biggest positive for me is how addictive it can be. It's one of those games where you sit down thinking you'll play for 20 minutes, then suddenly realise you've been playing for a couple of hours. It's a great game to chill out with and kill some time. Overall, it's not quite on the same level as Prison Architect for me, but Academia: School Simulator is still a fun, polished and addictive management game that's definitely worth picking up if you enjoy this type of game.
