Respectfully, am I the only one worried about this game being in 3D ?

My worries stem from the core original idea of the games design astatic. The game 2d astatic keep the game from having performance issues and make it accessible to almost anyone with a laptop. I love the original game and hope for the best for this new 3D version but with type of game I'm so worried we are going to have a laggy, glitched, unruinable game that will need tons of updates to get it decent. I hope I'm wrong, but the track record of paradox games so far running well on launch is not spectacular.

originally, yes. i thought it would make the game lose its charm. i also really really really (yes, i am stressing the really) enjoy playing in plan view where i am looking down on everything.
However, based on what I have seen so far, i am feeling quite reassured that whilst it has the lost the 2d charm, the prisoners still have a certain sense of charm themselves.

It's hard to explain but in a nutshell. i was but now i'm not.

(...) the prisoners still have a certain sense of charm themselves.

I definitely agree. The new game appears to go for a more cozy, sims-like approach. But OP is absolutely right about performance - core part of PA1 is the ability to have your prison run as densely as possible (or not, your choice), and PA2 seems to be focused more on the vibe.
