Blind Justice

I really enjoy games dealing with the Soviet Union and the moral implications of living in a dictatorship. I really enjoyed Papers Please and the moral quandaries it placed you in as you tried to balance helping people, keeping yourself alive, and giving your family a better life. When I saw Blind Justice I was really looking forward to a similar experience, but in the role of a Soviet judge trying to determine whether or not to cut someone loose, send them to the Gulag, or have them executed, all while trying to appease the Party and keep myself alive. Unfortunately, Blind Justice didn't offer this experience. It lacked any nuance or real stakes in the game. I had to get enough food for my family to eat, but I could easily take one bribe and be set for days until I needed to take another bribe, all while balancing the approval of the Party and the people rather easily. There was no real story to the game and it was just disappointing. It's not a game I can recommend to anyone unless there's an update or DLC that adds some actual meat to the bones.

Doesn't deserve the bad reviews. It's simple but fun
