PAPERS, PLEASE

In these days of economic migration for the masses and global mobility for the elites, Papers, Please is a perfect game. Approving visas and stamping passports are not the most exciting jobs in the world, and Papers, Please captures perfectly just how dehumanizing these bureaucratic roles can be. The graphics are Cold Warchic and the game’s complexity keeps it interesting even after you stop the 100th attempt to smuggle someone across the border. Putting people through hell in the name of immigration control isn’t amusing, but Papers, Please is timely and challenging. Price: $9.99. papersplea.se
