The story in "I Am Your President" is engaging and humorous, reflecting the modern political climate, but it suffers from limited player choices and some inconsistencies in its narrative structure. While the main storyline is entertaining, the random sub-plots can create plot holes, and the inability to customize the protagonist detracts from the overall experience. Players noted that certain gameplay elements, like international options and mission continuity, could be better integrated into the story.
“I am your president is a really good game that offers a fascinating look at how your actions can significantly change the story.”
“Along those lines, the protagonist’s story is alright and quite humorous in some spots.”
“It is really fun, and the dialogue lines are funny, but the choices are pretty slim and there's not much room to lead your own story.”
“Definitely a product of the modern political climate, the main story narrative really seems like it is geared with one or two certain types of candidates in mind.”
“The sub-plots that are chosen each game session randomly can generate plot holes or unusual circumstances, along with a background story that needs some tweaking, such as the game apparently starting in the early 2020s, but the protagonist is the 51st president of the United States.”
