Hello gamers community!
After my first post here I'm left with a bit of a desire to keep playing and sharing some of the experiences I have with the games I have on the PC, for now Animal Well has my nights assured but I will also play other things in the future.
Today I bring you one that many of you here will know, a classic among classics, Papers Please that I have installed again just to remember if it was as difficult as the first time I played it. And yes, it is still difficult to the point where I can't complete it
Beyond the fact that it is a game in which you have to read a lot, you also have to be good at memorizing and identifying facts, just like immigration agents do in real life!
And that's what this game is about, we live in a turbulent country like the Cold War where a good part of the institutions are rigid and corrupt, our objective is to let people into the country, but as the days go by, the rules are increased and other events occur that complicate our work to the point of making it a game of life or death.
It's actually very entertaining when you start playing it, people go by and we have to be aware of their passports first, if they are expired or if there is something wrong written on them, those can be false and we can reject them directly or start some interrogation.
That's just the first few days, there's not much to do but once we finish our shift we'll get a black screen with our salary and expenses, this is where I wish they had done more than just some letters
We have to take care of our family at the end of the day, pay the bills like rent, water, food and any medical complications our family has, we are responsible for them and we are reminded of that every time we finish work, but again we only see letters, never any of their faces or moments that make us connect with them so I spent most of my time ignoring them
In the next few days it's that The difficulty jump comes, because they start asking us for work permits, letters from some institute in the country, among many other things that we have to be checking all the time because every time we make a mistake we are going to pay for it with our salary
How do they know that we are making mistakes? I don't know lol
What I do know is that if we are left without a salary we will not be able to pay rent, food or take care of our family, so we cannot just approve everyone who passes through our gate, that's on the one hand.
Then there are the events that happen, we live in a country that is destroyed and in the middle of the cold war, so all kinds of characters can pass by our post, conspirators for example, whom we can let pass or call the guard, all with different outcomes, different dialogues and other situations that can favor us or not.
We can play the secret agent, accept all the cards they give us, accept the errands they leave us, or we can follow the rules to the letter without any consideration, and there are some points where the game makes you cry for some of the people who pass by.
Here are some other things I liked about Papers Please
although I haven't seen many of them, and they are their endings because we have them for all the situations that come our way, if we do everything right and cover our family or if we do the opposite, if we are spies or we are with our country, EVERYTHING has its consequence in the form of a black screen again with a sequence but I think this section is very good.
I repeat, it is one of the most complicated games I have ever played. The truth is that I have not completed the story mode, which has a number of days in which all the events of the game happen, but you also have a never-ending mode in which you are eternally managing the border.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SEE YOU
