With over 20 hi-standard awards achieved already, Papers, Please is seriously ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES published in 2013.

It's old-school, it's innovative, also imo beautiful in a classic way in its brutally simple appeareance and it made me laugh out loud few times (can't remember when single-player made me actually laugh :D). The concept itself is let alone just brilliant but when laced with a great storytelling in which player can impact and with a gameplay that enhances the back-to-the-childhood feeling you get, Papers, Please is one to remeber. Just the ancient-sounding theme music brings an amused grin to your face - a reminder of the good old times. This is not easy game by any means, requires some brains and sharp eye but not in an annoying way. I found the difficulty very fitting and enjoyable.

Papers, Please may not offer something to play for a very long time right away (depends on person), that said it will surely exceed its value by far anyway in the hands of an average gamer. On the other hand I can see myself returning to this game in future, similarly as with e.g. Max Payne, DOOM, etc. I do not want to give spoilers - one's has to experience this game like it happens in it's story - out of the blue. As I fancy 2013 not a great year regarding to game releases I am glad I have now something to remember and to recommend to fellow gamers.

Glory to Arstotzka!
