✦ AI summary

Papered is a roguelike survival game with charming paper-craft aesthetics and satisfying chopping mechanics where you upgrade weapons using enemy fragments, but it suffers from significant technical issues including missing UI elements, spawn bugs, and an unfinished feel overall. Players appreciate the straightforward, stressful gameplay loop and stylish visuals, though several report frustrating glitches that break progression and the controversial inability to pet the cat. Most reviews suggest this has fun potential but needs substantial polish before being worth your time.

Very Dumb. VERY unfinished. But has a lot of fun potential! There's no time for an explanation, {or even a start menu apparently} there's paper bastards to kill! Every punk you chop up turns to fragments, which are the upgrade currency for your weapons/stats/skills. The baddies are endless, so the only goal is to survive as long as possible. The artstyle is crappy in the best possible way, and the paper dudes getting chopped up is a nice touch. Your vision also gets chopped as you take dmg. So the concept and look are great, BUT this currently has major gameplay issues: #1 First and most important....not only can you NOT pet the cat, but you ACTUALLY HURT IT?!?!? This atrocity needs to be corrected ASAP! {or at least made optional} #2 As I said before, there's no start menu, it just throws you into it...and you'll immediately get your butt handed to you...This will either make players scream: "WTF IS THIS ####?!?!" or "ope, guess we're doing this!....well that was quick. Wonder if I can do better?" A start menu/brief explanation could mitigate that 1st reaction. Also, if there's a way to exit the game, I didn't find it, had to alt+F4...so the overall menu interface needs t…

Not bad. I like how it's not easy to survive if you try to do it conventionally. Also, if you spam 'R' for walls and spam 'LMB' all while in a corner of the map, it becomes a simple infinite round strat.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
