So here's my honest take on Papers, Please. I've tested a bunch of strategy and sim games, and this one's pretty unique. The whole dystopian border control theme is super interesting, and the gameplay is deceptively deep. It's not just mindless document checking - there's a ton of strategic depth in deciding who to let in. But it can also get a bit repetitive after a while. Overall though, it's a solid experience that I'd recommend to fans of the genre.

Description

Been playing Papers, Please for a couple months now. It’s basically a dystopian document thriller where you play as an immigration inspector controlling the flow of people into the communist state of Arstotzka. Pretty solid game if you’re into strategy and simulation stuff.

Here’s what you do: you have to carefully inspect travelers’ documents and decide who gets to enter the country. There’s also a search function where you can pat people down, which is pretty useful. And you have to keep your family fed and warm – that part adds some extra challenge.

Look, if you’re into detailed sims and don’t mind a bit of a grim setting, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the UI can be kinda clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
