Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a restrained political story may hit a wall when choices escalate into absurd or disturbing situations.
- Players who want a narrow, single-goal campaign may find the daily crises and staff missions interrupt the pursuit of immunity.
- Players looking for a puzzle, combat, or exploration-focused game may not find those activities at its center.
Our take on This Is the President
The likely sticking point is the mix of routine presidential tasks and increasingly extreme choices. Players who want to focus only on securing immunity may lose patience when daily crises, staff management, and politically charged missions keep pulling attention elsewhere.
What is This Is the President?
This story-driven management game casts the player as a newly elected U.
S. president with a criminal past. The central goal is to ratify a constitutional amendment granting presidents lifetime immunity. Players manage approval, cash, staff, and daily crises while dealing with political rivals, the media, foreign leaders, and the establishment. Presidential activities include giving speeches, issuing executive orders, holding press conferences, and responding to events. Specialists such as hackers, lobbyists, and assassins can be sent on missions, with legal or illegal approaches available. Choices branch the narrative, and efforts to secure immunity can lead to escalating, often absurd or troubling situations. The game combines political satire with management and interactive storytelling.
