Papers, Please

Why does a game like this exist? I get the point of this game as it is trying to illustrate though gaming how life of a communist worker is. How everyday they do the same monotonous job for little to no pay I get it. But the thing is that being a communist worker is not fun. Videogames are about having fun. This game don't even function as an educational game as it is based on fictional nations. I can't recommend this game.

Papers Please is a good game, But this game needs a lot concentration that may cause you eye and other physical problems. Apart from that This game is Really an excellent game. Can't give it 5 stars because It caused me serious Headache. Buy it and take long Time to over it.

Going off the first page reviews this game looked awesome and different. After playing it for about 20 minutes, I'm honestly confused how people think so. The first few levels have me screwed. Woman walks in, picture doesn't look like them, looks like a guy, name is also a guy name. Denied them, get a warning. Had that happened 3 times in a row. Though I don't like that is on a time limit. I would rather seeing so many per day over how fast you can get them through.

After some critical acclaim and popularity I decided to give this a go. But a game that simulates the drudgery of working in an immigration outpost is going to be just that. Drudgery. The game mechanic is dull and so simplistic that the story elements that the developers try to create around this mechanic never becomes relatable. I don't care that my uncle died, or that my family is cold. Who on earth was that uncle? Dunno, don't care. A criminal got through and there's a headline in the news. Big whoop, there's no real consequence. The game fails to create any connection to the world it tries to place you in and the actual gameplay is about as fun as doing as doing a spreadsheet at work. You can get away with low tech graphics if you've got good gameplay. You can even get away with bad gameplay if you've got a great story to tell. But this game fails on all of these fronts. It has all of the trade-offs with none of the benefits. On Ubuntu 18 the game failed to launch without installing a library. Conveniently the game itself won't tell you which one is missing. After installing it I just had a black screen, forcing me to find a way to run in windowed mode. But I should be thankful for these technical failings. As finding workarounds for the half baked implementation on the platform it claims to support was about the only fun I had with this game.

No. Fuck no. Why? God almighty. No. Fuck. No.
