Lucas Pope's newest game is out and I have to say, it's very cool. I loved Papers Please and this feels like a worthy followup, though very different in execution. The art style is striking and the deduction is good overall, though I felt like I brute forced some of the identifications. I accidentally ended playing through it in a single (much too long, I don't know why I did this) sitting so it's pretty gripping. I wonder if it would be more difficult broken up into multiple sittings, as remembering the threads of the 50 or so identities you need to discern is certainly a lot to keep track of...
Anyway, it's a cool game that's well worth checking out if you're interested in doing a lot of nonlinear detective work. I'm curious to hear what other people think of the story and puzzles as well.
