I like the plot of the campaign I truly do but it feels like an interruption to the core gameplay, it is very poorly implemented.

Contraband Police blends border inspection simulation with survival, combat, and emergent storytelling to create a surprisingly tense and addictive experience.

I liked the graphics but it has that weird 2019 simulator game advertisement graphics which looks great on a real game lol
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You'd think the game would feel more or less repetitive, but the game slowly ramps up the difficulty and introduces new issues and things to look out for that help keep things interesting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design also plays a big part, with subtle audio cues heightening the unease.
