Papers, Please

In very simple appearance, complex game mechanics appear gradually. We quickly learn to identify some of the pitfalls but also we stay unaware of the danger in the most simple errors (eg wrong date) while we look for a more devious error. The game is very successful at this stage of development and it's hard to stop.

Lucas Pope has made a game that turns one of the most boring jobs imaginable and turns it into the most addictive game I've played this year. It's so good it gives FTL a run for it's money. And it will only cost 9.99 and 20 MB. EA take notes!

Was a lot since a game got me involved so much. Is a wonderful game with deep insights about nations, bureaucracy, personal lives and much more. The game is addictive and fun, and offers a lot of differents endings - so it's playable up to - at least - 20 times. Much more to say, but I think I can't describe it well enough: 'Papers, Please' must be played!

Nowadays, most games try to appeal to a wide variety of people. Papers, Please says F Off with that rule and introduces a original idea with cool mechanics.If you are being very disappointed with most projects being announced being too generic, this is the game for you. The only drawback of this game is that some features are a bit clunky, but that might be on purpose from the designer.

For me checking people's paperwork was just as little exciting as it sounds. Ugh. Other that than the game is funny, original and well realized.
