Addicting.
Can't wait to see whats added to this in the future. Feels like this has scope to be a great game.

I have no doubts this game CAN be a very good game. However it is missing quite a few QoL features that make the game not that interesting, and in parts frustrating, in the current state.

Some of my current issues:
- There is no way to pin any of the articles in your manual (at least as far as I can see) so constantly getting Violations for an incorrect ID, despite not knowing what I should be looking for or what was incorrect.
- The actual UI/Work Area is messy and not easy on the eye. There is so much space that is unused that is FULL of graphics.
- The buttons/icons aren't self-descriptive so could do with tooltips.
- You get thrown in at the deep end with very little hand-holding. Even for a seasoned Papers Please player, it is quite a learning curve to try and remember where everything is and what to do.
- The UI for the manual is confusing and not user friendly, with tiny buttons to press rather than the titles too.

Again, I think this can be a good game, but I can't recommend it in its current state.

Honestly can't recommend.
Seems like they wanted to fit all of the features they thought of, into the game, but didn't polish any of them so there is no real connect anywhere.

The "story" is terrible - baits and switches 1/4 into the story and the plot basically disappears.
Completely unbalanced - can max upgrade every island with unlimited money with no threat at all.

Had so much potential, but won't be revisiting.

Great story with engaging and fun gameplay. I find myself getting lost in this game over and over again, sinking hours into "one last ship"...
Highly recommend.

Extremely steep difficulty curve to start with if you have no DLC as the default trucks make it almost impossible to get to most parts of the map.
Very repetitive. Ferrying items down the same roads over and over again, very slowly.
Gave it a good go, hoping to overcome that difficulty curve, but even then, its just more of the same...

The negative press this game gets it extremely harsh.

It took me too long to play this game as I believed it had strayed too far from what I though made an Assassin's Creed game.
Don't be fooled - this game is a true return to form. We get some modern day story that is interesting, and a beautiful ancient Greek world to explore, with several engaging "storylines".
