Contraband Police

85/100

Contraband Police gives players meaningful choices, both big and small, that make the player feel like they have an impact on the world they find themselves in. Fun and interesting adventures are frequent and well paced, and the game offers a polished core gameplay loop with an action spin that greatly expands on what Papers Please started.

8/10

Contraband Police takes inspiration from other inspection games and adds more onto the formula to stand out. Multiple activities prevent the game from wearing out its welcome too quickly. There are some minor aspects that stand out, but it’s a combination of variety and action that works well together.

8/10

Contraband Police isn’t as morally grey or engaging as Papers, Please, but its defined gameplay loop evolves the bureaucracy simulator genre into something that’s worth playing. ‍

7/10

Contraband Police is an enjoyable experience, but it has some annoying bits to deal with and there are definitely better alternatives with similar premises and gameplay.

7/10

Contraband Police is both too much yet not enough. Sometimes less is more—I wanted more simulator and less first-person shooter RPG, but there are still certain types of simulator comrades that will dig it, I think.
