Half Life 2: Episode One vs Papers Please
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
Papers Please
Papers Please is a pretty dark, story-rich, point and click game where you're sole and yet most difficult job as an immigration officer is to approve or deny a throng of people, some of which are good but of course there will be smugglers, spies and terrorists, entering into your country of Arstotzka from the war-devastated neighbor, Kolechia. Thankfully, you'll have some information at hand to help you make your decision. There are lie-detectors, documents, fingerprints, inspections and other primitive methods along with, of course, a series of questions and follow-up questions that you can ask.Your every decision will determine the lives of those who go through your immigration booth and enter Arstotzka as well as for those who were turned back to eke out a living in a war-torn country. Your morality and empathy will be greatly tested in this game.
Papers Please is among one of the most impactful games of, perhaps, all time. The game is simple enough for anyone to get into and yet it challenges your very beliefs, your concepts and your morality as you stamp those immigration papers with the words "Approved" or "Denied". If you are looking for a thought-provoking game, Papers Please is just perfect for you.
