Simple, surreal, and addictive

What starts out as a simple "denied" or "approved" immigration officer simulator quickly ramps up into more complex checks, along with extremely difficult choices to make - do you deny someone into the country to get your full paycheck, or do you let them in to save them from something serious (e.g. human trafficking) but risk endangering your family? The complexity of the choices that this presents you alongside the backdrop of trying to keep your family alive is honestly quite soul crushing - but that's the point, and the experience of playing Papers, Please is not one I have ever come across before. I found this game difficult to put down once I started, as it has a very addictive quality and it constantly throws curveballs at you to keep it from being mundane. Highly recommended if you want something different, yet enjoyable.

Brilliant

One of the best games I ever played. And based on a sensitive thematic like immigration. Truly a Masterpiece

Good Concept But Tedious

I wanted to like Papers Please. I liked it’s theme and attention to detail but it went too far. It crossed from having to be attentive to straight up sadism. It quickly became a chore of having to watch out for too many different variables and the punishments stacking up. One could say this is realistic to life in a totalitarian country but in the end games are still supposed to be fun. I liked how you have to pick what to spend what money you have and deal with the consequences. I enjoyed having to check regional maps for cities of issue. I found the buttons to interrogate and to check correlated data a bit clunky which is a bad thing when you’re on the clock. I think the game had a surprising amount of story and different endings based on various criteria. I played Papers Please on Linux. It never crashed on me. It does require version 2.29 or higher of glibc so not every distro will run it. The game crashed on Trisquel due to this but ran on Manjaro. There is no manual save options, it saves at the beginning of each day. Alt-Tab works. There are no graphics options. Game Engine: Unknown Game Version Played: 1.2.69 Save System: Auto Disk Space Used: 80 MB GPU Usage: 5-17 % CPU Usage: 1-2 % RAM Usage: 1.6-1.7 GB I can see how this could have been a game I enjoyed but it was too much thrown at you. It seemed like a Dark Souls or Super Meat Boy of the simulator genre. Something you can’t relax to but need to stay on edge for. This may be fun for some but not for me. My Score: 5.5/10 My System: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15 | Gigabyte R9 270 2GB | Mesa 20.2.1 | Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB | Manjaro 20.2 | Mate 1.24.1 | Kernel 5.9-3-MANJARO

Unlike anything else I've played

I can't think of any other game like Papers, Please. While the role of lowly bureaucrat in Communist Arstotska doesn't sound like an exciting one, the game managed to completely immerse me in it. This game felt like more of a role playing experience than any rpg I've played. The gameplay itself is also enjoyable and has a steady difficulty curve, so even as I got better I was always one oversight away from having my pay docked. If you're unsure give the free beta a try, though I would point out that the full game has much more content, and changes the penalties so they now outweigh your salary. In the beta you could deny or allow everyone, and through sheer volume you would make more money than you lost. That's fixed in the full game.
