Glory to Arstotzka! The greatest country!

---

That was my original review more than 5 years ago, but today I'd like to further elaborate on this title.

Papers, Please is one of the best games I've ever played that touches the dystopian topics. Simple at its core, shows the struggle of playing as a border control officer with constant fear of being able to protect his family in regards to the ongoing events.

The game is a real masterpiece. With non-linear stories, interesting characters, awesome setting and constant pressure, you can immerse yourself in a world where you're nothing but a pawn in a huge system you don't have a say in.

I don't know what else to write it, other than a statement that this is a mandatory position for everybody even remotely interested in dystopian games, and a great title even for those that are not. I had so much fun with it that it's hard to believe the whole game was created mostly by a single person.

As I wrote back in 2016 - Glory to Arstotzka! The greatest country!
