It was an overall decent game. For Switch owners, this is our substitute for Papers Please until it gets on the system. It has a good art style, I like the music, it has memorable characters as well. It is also very stimulating just checking id's and getting into a good routine of doing it fast.

It is an extremely mean spirited game. Basically everyone is racist or crude, nasty, etc. it is so mean spirited that your own billing company sends you automated texts saying how worthless you are. Obviously this is because of what the game is about: it is trying to be a satire/commentary of Brexit and how illogical it is. But it is also just too one note for it to have the impact it wants. The game also does not adhere to its own logic half the time as well. Youre not allowed to let some people in if they have a resistance badge in their pocket, but they can flaunt and run around with a resistance jumper and hoodie no problem!

The game also ends pretty anti climatically considering all the work you need to do to get a good ending.

It is a decent experience that will scratch an itch for you if you enjoyed Papers Please. But it's also not a game I will revisit any time soon: once was enough for me.
