Papers, Please is a wonderful experience. The interactions are engaging and will make you question what the best course of action is constantly. It's made clear early on that you have to follow your rulebook so you get paid enough to simply survive. After understanding this expectation, your job duties continuously change, and your morality and empathy are tested hard in certain scenarios.

In terms of gameplay, Papers, Please is fine. What your doing is mundane, but it's like that for a reason. The beauty in this game isn't from the gameplay in my opinion, but from everything I mentioned before. That being said, if you are the kind of person who likes getting into the weeds and really going over everything with a fine-toothed comb then you'll probably find the document inspecting enjoyable.
