Decent game, but can be very frustrating if you don't pay complete attention.

Played it for about 3 hours, this game is life itself!
Be honest! - Punished.
Be a thief! - Arrested.
Be grey!

Really good! This was the first game that got me back into video games and it's honestly one of the best games of it's kind! There were hardly any bugs, the story was entertaining and the graphics brought back early memories of me losing at Mario. Glory to Arstotzka!

PC Gamer put this at 56 in their top 100 greatest games, which is ridiculous. It's good, but it ain't that good.
