The Precinct Steam Charts & Stats

It´s a promising concept with engaging gameplay, which initially drew me in. However it quickly becomes repetitive. Overall, it's a decent experience but not worth the full price.

The Precinct is really fun...at first. It overstays its welcome and becomes tedious. I got about 15 hours in and then called it quits. All games are repetitive to some degree, but I suppose the way to put it is that you really "feel" the repetitiveness in The Precinct after a while. Maybe it just is not for me; regardless, I do not recommend it.

Overall I would recommend The Precinct. The graphics are pretty good. The story is "passable". The game-play takes some getting used too, but overall it is pretty fun. It takes a little bit to get used to issuing criminals with the right charges unless you're already a cop or have training. But once you get used to it, you can charge them and move along fairly quickly. For those seeking achievements, this game is fairly easy to 100%; it took me 21 hours to 100% the game and I wasn't even trying until I saw how close I was to doing it anyway. No, you can not be a dirty cop. If you want to do that, play another game.

Simplistic story, dull dialogues (your dialogue choices do not matter - why put them there in the first place?). forgettable characters with only their ucanniness being unique characteristic. some assets (including one critical) were obviously AI generated (in a bad way) Gameplay is solid with few annoying elements: - Your partner is almost useless, rarely helps you when apprehending suspects, seems to have no agenda of his own - Helicopters love to stay at the exact same suspect you are staying on, especially annoying when you are chasing two people, you caught one of them and are handling them, instead of making sure the second guy does not disappear the heli just watches you and does nothing - Gunfights, especially on higher difficulties are comical - you have to put magazine worth of bullets into a single baddie in order to incapacitate them, it becomes the most apparent during boss fight which is basically a human bullet sponge - Speaking of gunfights, suspects seem to have an amazing will to fight which does not seem to be affected much by you hitting them with live ammunition - Weapon stats are weird, police baton has twice the intimidation of assault rifle? Really? QA did a good job, almost no bugs, smooth performance, despite its problems gameplay is still engaging thanks to freshness of playing a cop rather than a criminal, still that is not enough to justify ~30$ price tag

I want to like this game and I think its a great idea. But ways to interact with the world are frustratingly limited. Combined with the horrible AI behavior. crooks running in circles, your partner wont arrest surrendered suspects while you chase fleeing ones was the real killer for me. plus it does not run super great, had lots of stutters.

The game is a great pick for fans of neon-noir stories and the spirit of the '80s!Special praise goes to the soundtrack-it's absolutely spot-on, capturing the era with synth-heavy beats and melodies that feel ripped straight from an old-school action movie.The atmosphere is fantastic:rainy nights,glowing neon,blaring sirens-it all pulls you right into the gritty city life.The story is a bit cliché,but it does the job and keeps the gameplay engaging. My only real gripe is with the art style of the character portraits and the UI-they feel inconsistent and not quite on par with the rest of the game’s presentation. Overall,it’s a solid experience for ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who is nostalgic for the '80s vibe and craving a moody police drama.Definitely recommended!

I like this game because you play as a police officer, and the story mode is awesome. There are 20 collectibles to find and rare vehicles to unlock. There are also 30 stunt jumps to complete. The chases are exciting — sometimes when things blow up, it's really funny to watch. The missions involve stopping gangs, and there are six gang leaders to take down. The vehicles are very cool to drive, and the guns are fun to use too

First the graphics are awesome. It does run a little hot though. The car controls are awful. The traffic controls are awful. The intro quests aren't very intro. Combat if it gets there is okay. Needs some major bug fixes but salvageable. Will wait a few patches to try again.

20+ Hours In – Loving It, But These Bugs Are Breaking the Flow I’ve been really enjoying the game so far — around 20 hours in and overall it’s a great experience. But a few bugs and logic gaps are really killing the immersion and fun for me right now: ⸻ 1. Helicopter Patrol Issues Most of the callouts during helicopter patrols break or become unplayable. Once I accept a pursuit, it doesn’t stay active — I’m forced to cancel and move on. Also, being asked to apprehend suspects from a helicopter just doesn’t make sense. There’s no way to complete the scenario properly. Needs serious logic adjustments. ⸻ 2. Car Pursuit Mechanics Pursuits are a toss-up — sometimes they’re fun, sometimes they’re a mess. PIT maneuvers often don’t register, and cornering feels like I’m steering a boat. It’s especially frustrating when heavy vehicles like station wagons magically outrun muscle cars. Can we get better driving physics or attributes that reflect real-world handling? ⸻ 3. Lethal Force Confusion There have been multiple times where I get run over by a drunk driver, and when I respond with lethal force — I’m penalized for unlawful use of force?! If a suspect is using a vehicle as a weapon, officers in real life are 100% authorized to stop the threat. This needs to be addressed for immersion and realism. ⸻ 4. Backup/Support Limitations Why do backup support options disappear once you move from pursuit to apprehension? The suspect’s still in a vehicle, often still fleeing. In reality, backup doesn’t just vanish the moment you get close. Support options should remain available until the suspect is fully in custody. ⸻ 5. Suspect Vehicles = Tanks? Is it just me or do suspect vehicles become indestructible during chases? I’ve seen beat-up sedans take five PITs and still keep going like nothing happened. This really kills the realism and makes pursuits feel like arcade chaos rather than tactical gameplay. ⸻ TL;DR: Game’s great — loving the concept and the immersion when it works. But some core mechanics, especially around pursuits, force, and support, really need polish to match the rest of the experience.

My thoughts on this game. ・Pretty chill game like old GTA vibes but as a cop. ・It is not hyper realistic cop simulator game and I think it should not be. ・Using controller feels more natural on this game. ・Physics and interactions are cool. ・Only bug I have encountered was being not able to arrest man inside trash bin. ・So far have not encountered single performance issue. ・Storyline and Dialogues are pretty corny but it is okay for 80's ・Wish they add more support interactions like calling ambulance or firefighter on the scene. Overall 8/10 for being chill.
