Contraband Police

« 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. »

« Great combination of simulation and action elements. Lackluster visuals spoil the experience a little, but it's still worth giving this game a chance, because exploring its various gameplay mechanics is a lot of fun. »

« Contraband Police looks like a simple document checking game at the outset. But if you dedicate some time to play it, you will find a decent story and varied gameplay. A good balance of activities prevents the game from feeling boring too quickly, and the story is surprisingly deep. You actually feel like you are a border patrol officer with large responsibilities, managing more than just your welfare. While the game gets harder as time goes on, there’s always something to do that keeps you on your toes. »

« It's impossible for someone who likes Papers Please not to enjoy Contraband Police. Similar mechanics, similar story, similar depth... but all in 3D! There's also open-world driving, side missions, hidden treasures and gunfights. One of the nice surprises of the year. »

« To put it simply, Contraband Police is an FPS version of Papers, Please. As a ‘’border patrol sim’’, it offers a great experience and adds some interesting fresh elements to the genre, but is let down by its low replay value. »

« The best way to describe Contraband Police is a pinch of Paper's Please mixed with a lot of action and a bit of sim/management. The story and side missions are pretty good and well developed at the moment. »

« Crazy Rocks developers, under the auspices of a Polish distributor PlayWay, offer a successful probe into the life of a customs officer in a totalitarian state. It's not bad, and in particular, you can only rarely find such content in games. »

« 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. »

« Прошёл contraband police 2023 года на пк. Не люблю papers please, но сама концепция очень крутая, наконец-то начали делать полноценные идейные продолжения, но в 3D. Смысл следующий – ты пограничник, который должен проверять автомобили на пронос контрабанды, обследуя тачки всякой хуйнёй, проверяя паспорта и прочее, очень крутое развитие идеи. Проблема только в том, что это ну крайне дешёвая игра, сделанная на юнити какими-то студентами, очень дешево ощущается. Более того, в игру запихнули стрельбу просто отвратительную, буквально на уровне браузерных игр на юнити, и её сука дохуя! Основной геймплей в полном порядке, куча всяких прикольчиков, но всё остальное просто полная залупа. Помимо стрельбы есть унылейшие миссии, совершенно убогие, с какими-то расследованиями, с преследованием, это всё просто лишнее, как хуй во лбу. Papers please была хороша тем что там буквально ничего кроме проверки документов не было, и это было очень умно – не добавляй то что не нужно. Атмосфера в игре очень прикольная, Восточная Европа идеально накладывается на концепт игры. Несмотря на то что мне дико доставляет концепт и проверка всякого барахла на границе, игру засрали бездарные разрабы идиотскими решениями – 5,5/10. »

« Contraband Police is a nice surprise. About 2/3 of the game is just checking papers, inspecting vehicles, transporting prisoners or light exploration. Remaining third is an action FPS with missions and objectives. Yes, it gets repetitive and the storyline is pretty short, but I had fun playing it. I'm definitely looking forward the upcoming DLC. »

« The game's very similar to papers please but adds more depth of gameplay because you are responsible for the captured prisoners, their captured drugs, transporting them to the correct location by driving a horrible bus, upgrading your tools, sleeping cabin etc. Overall a very slow-paced and boring game. The driving mechanics ended the game for me because the roads are too thin and the turning is very unresponsive. Also, just to get out of the vehicle or start the car you need to look at the door and click or look at the ignition button and click. A lot could be simplified in the game. »

« This game is a nice simulation, but it gets repetitive in places and has some frustrating issues. There are even some game-breaking bugs. Despite the technical problems and the repetition, the game still manages to achieve what it sets out to do. The first few hours are really solid. Overall, it’s an average game that could’ve been much better with some polish, but the concept itself is pretty good. »

« Genuinely one of the best games I've played in years. The amount of content and stuff you can do in this game is crazy. The gameplay loop is extremely fun. It is a criminally underrated game published by the fantastic company PlayWay that also made Crime Scene Simulator, Thief Simulator 1&2, Prison Simulator, Cooking Simulator, House Flipper 1&2... The absolute undisputed kings of simulator games. This game will keep you hooked for days. I was honestly surprised by how well made it is, and by how many things and details are in it. And again, I'm shocked it isn't very popular and terrible games like fortnite, ****, Minecraft and final fantasy and other slop like that is. It's really all about the marketing and how much money you spend on that. All in all excellent game and I'm so happy I discovered it. »

« The game was installed and launched successfully with minimal loading times (16 seconds). Graphics and performance are stable, with no major glitches. Controls, core features, and audio are functional. The save/load system operates correctly. Updates are current, and no significant bugs were introduced. Resolution support is limited to 1080p. Anti-cheat and data privacy measures are satisfactory. Third-party integrations work well, but platform policy compliance is lacking. Rating: 7/10 Reasoning:The game performs well overall, with stable graphics, functional mechanics, and no major bugs. However, limited resolution support, lack of compliance with platform policies, and incomplete notes on certain features (e.g., anti-cheat and vulnerabilities) slightly impact the overall score. With some improvements in compliance and added features, it could achieve a higher rating. »
