The Precinct is as action-adventure police procedural that takes place in the fictional city of Averno City in the year 1983. The game is an homage to classic and iconic cop flicks and TV shows from that era as well as the 90's. The game has a neo-noirish tone with a gritty atmosphere and a story involving the player (as rookie cop Nick Cordell) solving a personal mystery involving the death of a family member. When you aren't uncovering clues to unravel the story, the game lets you play the role of beat cop, following police protocol on the daily and busting perps to build up XP and unlock skills. The game actively encourages you to adhere to proper police procedures, and rewards you for following the law. It also penalizes you for use of excessive force or incorrect protocols.

While not as expansive as modern open-world games, "The Precinct" offers a sandbox environment with procedurally generated crimes and a dynamic city that reacts to the player's actions.

I hope it's like LA Noire / real life where you get rewarded for arresting innocent people so long as it aligns with the interests of your bosses.
 
I wish this game had some Postal 2 type flare. Let me arrest annoying protesters like the old white ladies singing lately irl. Or a cult that's blocking a highway or something.
 
I may have been mistaken in the other thread about PC fps being uncapped. Maybe someone who has it installed can confirm either way
 
IGN liked it gave 7 good though becomes repetitive, took 12 hours (good length especially at the price)

It'll be longer than 12 if you want to find all the collectibles, complete all the races etc. It's 12-15 just for the story.

And you can keep playing and catching crooks after the credits roll 🚓:messenger_sunglasses:

The missions in LA Noire where you got worse scores for doing the right thing pissed me the hell off.

Picture this: you hit your sirens on someone suspected of speeding. They pull over, you order them out of their car, and run through the usual procedures; a background check on their ID, a breathalyser test. They're clean and it's looking like a straightforward fine, but then you ask them to pop their trunk — and guess what? They dive back into their vehicle and bomb off down the road.

A car chase ensues, and after requesting some support — or maybe even a spike strip — the escapee's ready to call it quits. You slap the cuffs on them, find some narcotics in their trunk, and then work your way through the game's charges menu.
You book 'em for possession of illegal goods, speeding, and, of course, evading arrest.

All of this happens in the space of about two minutes, and that's what makes The Precinct such a moreish game. Any of the factors we just described can change on the fly — every crime's totally dynamic, and by paying attention and slapping suspects with the correct charges, you're awarded additional experience points upon finishing your patrol.

Just bought it on cdkeys for 17 euros. I dont know how I am going to find time to play it but hey, at least I have supported the developers. We need more grounded and urban open worlds

Damnit! This only runs 30fps on modern consoles? Saw Steam Deck performance tanks after driving a car through intersections.
 
IGN's review started with a political preamble about "cops bad mmkay". So gay.

Watch any kind of mildly popular podcast discussion (if they even choose to discuss, which they probably won't because police bad) will begin with whoever shitbagging law enforcement before going into how they're actually enjoying it.
