A-Z backlog challenge: Papers, Please
Ever wanted to have the power as well as the awesome responsibility of an immigration officer, deciding the fate of the unfortunate souls who have spent hours queuing to get into a fictional country. No? That might change after reading this review.
The nuts and bolts of the game are you scrutinizing the documents and stories of those appearing in front of you and stamping approved and denied. You need to check for details such as correct sex, passports numbers, cities where documents were issued and correct ministry stamps.
You get paid per person you correctly deal with so it's a race against the clock as your salary aint great and you have bills to pay- food, rent, heat and sometimes medicine.
The game makes the mundane interesting by including people offering you different bribes, telling you sob stories and later making you side either with the government or a group which is looking to bring them down.
This is a game that was hugely praised by critics when it came out and seen as it focuses on gameplay and story rather than graphics, it is totally unaffected by age. I can see people enjoying this in 5, 10 or 20 years time. If you haven't played it before, buy it!
