Indie gem

This is one of those games with a simplistic outer layer, but that houses a plethora of love and attention to detail that keeps you coming back from more. In this game you play as an immigration officer, starting with the benign job of asking for 'Papers, please' so that you can either approve or deny the immigrant access to Arstotzka. As the days go by, more and more documentation is required, and the harder it becomes cross referencing names, IDs, and other details about the immigrant with their documentation. This gameplay loop also introduces some social dilemmas, such as a wife wanting to join her husband, but having invalid documentation. Here, you are given the choice of permitting the wife through at the cost of a hefty fee, or denying her and causing great distress. Overall this is a fantastic game at a fantastic price, and I highly recommend this to everyone.

Effective moral choices and many options

Papers, Please asks you all the difficult questions and makes you choose between bending the rules to help refugees or sticking to your guns (literally, in some cases) to avoid penalties that may cost you and your family. There's a degree of skill involved in rapidly checking details, but there's also an easy mode if you prefer to take your time. I keep coming back to it just to try something new, and find it difficult to stop once I've started.

Too hyped

Papers please is a simple, short and well rounded game about being an immigration inspector, which basically boils down to 30 or so rounds of "find the differences" that can last up to 10 minutes or so. Setting it into a communist country allows the game to have minor plots involving choices of conscience, rebellions, favors to friends, use of guns, bribes, harsh working conditions and multiple endings that made a lot of reviewers back then consider it an essential game but sadly it's mostly hype, the depth is simply not there for it to truly work. It's a deliberate decision to keep the game short and sweet, but it also means it fell way short of what I was expecting, whether it was in terms of storytelling or on the thrills of being an officer with the power to decide the fates of others. -1 because it was a bore to complete and -1 because although the game is intended to be clunky, a couple of design choices I still thought sucked beyond that excuse (pointless upgrade booths, null encouragement to improve conditions for your family, etc)

Almost Perfect!

I played the main campaign all the way through. The game is very fun for what it is, and really, the fact that it's an immigration control simulation game-- and still manages to be fun, is a feat in itself. There are multiple endings, the graphics fit the game because of the setting. After a week or two, the game might lose it's luster in your collection. Not because it's a bad game. This game is a really really good game! So why will it start collecting dust? Let's find out! The negatives: 1.) The interface at the end of your shift, when you pick your medicine and heat and pay your rent-- I really think the game falls short here and should be a bit more player interactive. Like being able to see your living space...or leveling something up? 2.) More dialogue, please. The game falls short in dialogue and voice sfx. I'm talking of the people approaching you trying to get in. They literally all say the same thing, they have the same sound clips when they speak- Expect many different people to respond to you with the same response after you've interrogated twenty or so other people for the same problem. While the dialogue for the player is obviously going to be the same, the dialogue for the travelers shouldn't. Was it deliberately bland for a reason? Maybe so. Maybe it's the developer's creative way of purveying times of destitution during the Cold War era.

Great game

This is the type of game that others in the field need to take notes from. Well made, modes that are available for people of all interests right off the get go. I wasn't originally into the story and just wanted to play endless mode so i was delighted to learn that you could skip right there. (eventually did play story and was amazing). Most certainly a 5 star game and don't regret one penny of my purchase.
