Description

About the Game

You are Officer Nick Cordell Jr. As a rookie beat cop fresh out of the Academy, you’re on the front line of defence for Averno’s citizens. Dive into a world of thrilling car chases, sandbox crimes, and a healthy dose of 1980s noir as you protect the populace and solve the mystery of your father’s murder in the line of duty.

Take to the Streets

A love letter to classic cop movies, The Precinct combines police sim with action sandbox spectacle. Patrol the streets and respond to callouts to fight criminals petty and powerful. Choose your own tactics in thrilling chases and shootouts. Feel the shifting power struggles of Averno's gangs in a living city full of sandbox crimes, from parking infractions to bank heists, street racing to drug deals.

Hot Pursuit

Speed through the city in intense car and helicopter chases and pursue your mark through twisting alleyways before bringing them to justice. There's no need to be a lone wolf: You've got Averno's Finest backing you up, with an in-depth support system that allows you to call in squad cars, roadblocks, spike strips, and more.

A Sleepless City

Explore the ever-shifting criminal underbelly of Averno City. Deal with yuppies, bums, street vendors and furious taxi drivers from the Projects to the Financial District. Chase perps through neon-lit alleys, rain-soaked streets, and grand, decaying parklands, all subject to a day/night cycle and dynamic weather. This is the 1980s East Coast in all its neon-noir glory.

This is just a good old-fashioned video game. The story left a bit to be desired, but the main draw is the sandbox elements and those struck a good balance between arcade and simulation-level detail. The Good Driving

Surprised me. Brought me back to being a kid sneaking onto my dads GTA2 only to pretend to be a cop. Graphics are unique and well designed, the gameplay and world are immersive. No real downsides from me. I would love

Very much worth the price. The story is a bit short and ends rather abruptly but the gameplay and 80s atmosphere are top notch. It offers the perfect mix between police simulation and arcade action with wide variety of

This game is a pretty good cop simulator sandbox game. It's best appeal is the emergent gameplay in the sandbox from going on patrol. There is one mission, one of the gang leaders, that can be pretty frustrating since

This is a recommendation with a footnote. The game is fun, it delivers what it promises, and it is very well done. You can see attention to detail and polish everywhere (although performance could be little beter).
