Fantastico
After having downloaded this game off of random sites multiple times over the years, I've finally decided to buy Papers, Please to just have it whenever I want to play it. As with a large chunk of the people who've played this game, I first discovered it on YouTube I don't even know how long ago. Over time, I've played quite a lot of this game, and I gotta say that I absolutely love it. It's a very simple game with a pretty interesting little story and message behind it. I guess the only thing that annoyed me is that at some point you WILL run into money shortages which are a PITA to deal with. The point of the family is to eat the credits you may need late game, and add pressure on you to seek out corruption money. It's valid reasoning, but I don't like how bad it aways ends up getting so I just use the easy mode and the extra 20 credits is enough. Like I said though, that pressure is part of the narrative the game is trying to set. If you like games of this nature, where you just relax and do something simple but engaging, Papers, Please is for you.
Fun classic game
Glória à Arstotzka.
