  6 years in development may sound awful, but when the game is turns out this polished and taken care of, it reminds me when studios used to care about their games <3

  Man approached the checkpoint with some sob story about owing money to a gang and needing to cross the border to save his family. Unfortunately his papers were expired so I tore up every seat in his car "looking for contraband" and smashed his windshield for wasting my time before telling him to turn around. Good game. 10/10 smugglers sent to the manual labour camps.

  Some red flags to consider when shopping for "simulator" titles like this: 1. When you click on the developer's name it redirects to the entire PlayWay S.A. catalog. It's common practice with PlayWay to obfuscate what games a developer worked on before their current one, especially when the current one is likely to gain traction with content creators (like this one, which is going to sell itself on "a 3D Papers, Please.") 2. Gunplay. Sim titles like this are a hodgepodge of mechanics and ideas, usually thrown together to pad for time. First-person shooter segments are never the strong point of a simulator title and this one leans into them quite frequently. Having spent a little time with it: the guns *could* be worse but they're in no way fluid or fun. Just bog-standard, and the only real UI to facilitate shooting is a weird red dot hovering over enemies, which feels like the result of a developer realizing all the earth tones in the map and character designs means you can't actually SEE the enemies that well. The solution: a cartoon dot that you just have to aim under to get headshots every time. 3. Too many concepts. Contraband Police could be a solid game with just the border crossing and the idea of upgrading your outpost to be more effective. Gas Station Simulator showed you can have a really jankily-built game still have a sense of progression just by hiring AI and assigning them to do your least-favorite tasks. Frankly, I'd much rather not have to leave the outpost and partake of the lackluster driving sequences to travel to locations I don't particularly care for. Even the shootouts where the border post gets attacked could be interesting IF the whole point was I can upgrade my post to the point it's self-reliant. Sure, I can give my guys better guns and armor but at the end of the day, I still have to throw contraband and prisoners in a van and go run chores early-game. From reviews I'm seeing here, I know my dream of having a Gas Station Simulator-esque border crossing where I level up my NPCs to do menial tasks automatically (perhaps even add multiple inspection lanes and let an NPC do inspections for me with the understanding they have to flag me if any real inspection is needed) are not to be. The upgrades are purely to make things stronger when random attacks happen. It's aggressively okay, but I worry I'll be back to this review in a few hours of gameplay with the same story most popular simulator titles have: after the first few hours they KNOW a streamer will broadcast, it drops off. Maybe it won't. For now: buy with caution.

  Ivan had a bad passport photo and cocaine in his tires and under his bumper. Ivan went to the labor camp. I sold Ivan's cocaine and cigarettes for an AK-47 I killed the filthy rebels with the AK-47 and got promoted. 5/5 sickles would pick the government again.
