Papers Please vs Westworld
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.
Westworld
Westworld is a 2D town management game much like Fallout Shelter, but is set in the dystopian world of HBO's hit TV show, Westworld. In this game, you are given complete access to the official Delos Park Training Simulation (DPTS). The simulation will allow you to not only build and control the park, but also to create, upgrade (in a wide variety of ways) and evolve your AI hosts. There are over 170 different AI hosts you can manufacture and collect, and it is up to you to match the right hosts with the correct guests. The game has many new park locations for you to unlock as well.The game may feel a bit bland due to its idle-like nature - there's no strategy or creativity involved, and a lot of the time, you'll just be tapping to collect stuff. Some have also complained that the host leveling system is very grindy since you'll need to get a ton of hosts just to level one up to its max level, and well, hosts aren't exactly easy to obtain.
That being said, if Westworld is your current obsession, these little issues aren't enough to deter you to give the game a try. The game is free after all.
