I thought I was a good man. It turns out, I'm the kind of man to sell his soul for a totalitarian regime. I just shot an old man because I didn't like the tone of his voice, and I've massacred countless freedom fighters in the name of our Great Dictator. I must defend the borders of our glorious socialist paradise from capitalists, imperialists, and old men who let their passports expire. Not on my watch! I'll gladly drive you, and several friends, to a labour camp for the most minor of crimes. Watching this filth break rocks is my elixir (apart from Vodka obviously). I don't accept bribes, and I do use my pistol at the slightest provocation. I might even take out your vehicle with a grenade. Glory to Acaristan, death to traitors, and victory for the revolution comrades!

I don't recommend this game, but that's purely because of my tastes and not necessarily because it's a bad game. At first glance the game seems pretty fun and relaxing. You start with a 5 day training to get the hang of it and during this time it's very doable. You slowly build up your knowledge and what you have to do each day.

I was quite surprised on the last day of training when they wanted me to catch the runaway. Like... What... All of a sudden I had to respond fast en drive fast and they only way I figured out to stop him was to drive him off the road which results in a vehicle maintenance fee. Not to mention first time I was too slow and it was game over immediately. So driving back with the criminal in the car I was very much hoping this would not be a daily occurrence.

Then the next day came and it became apparent instantly that the training doesn't cover even half of what the game entails. All of a sudden you need to check stamps, vehicle registration, weight, vehicle type, occupation... So much more than you did in the training. And I personally don't feel like they explain it that well.
I need to check stamps now. But what do I compare them to? I can open the duty handbook but can't do a 'match'. Does this mean it's just something I need to visually check? And what about the occupations? When are they wrong or right? Also, do I only check for contraband when I can see on the board the driver matches a description of possible smugglers? Or do I always check for contraband?

The more I read reviews and look at pictures, the more I get the feeling the game is more pointed to those who enjoy guns, violence and arresting/shooting people just for the sake of it. And don't get me wrong, that's okay, it just isn't what I personally was looking for in this game. I was more hoping for a relaxing 'be an officer of the law and do everything perfectly' kind of thing. I also read that later in game you have to fight rebels on the road and defeat raiders who come to the base.

Not sure what that's about, but it doesn't sound like the relaxing gaming experience I wanted it to be. I don't see a way to change the game to being more easy so for me personally, this just isn't my kind of game.

I do have to compliment the graphics and the making of the game. They really did a great job in how it all looks and feels. The game is in Russian? I think? I don't speak it so can only guess. But with subtitles it's very doable and I do like that there's voice acting for everything, makes the game feel more fleshed out.
