Overview: An open world police game.
20241021:
Various players highlighted this game so I gave it a try.
Setup: Xbox Controller
Gameplay Log:
First mission with pursuit
- the player needs to shoot the suspects. I don't recall being instructed on how to do so while in the vehicle, but eventually I saw the word shoot at the right of the screen (along with the letter (A) on the gamepad
End day 1.
Parking violations
Graffiti fines and arrests
End day 2.
Steam Game Time: 35 minutes
First Impressions:
The game opened with a great visuals followed by some quality narration. Then the game appropriately sets the stage and introduced the player character.
The first mission is exciting and the instructions were generally clear. The next day starts with parking violations and graffiti infractions. The game has a handbook which indicates proper procedure. As such, even the tutorial of something mundane as a parking violation was - at least in the demo - a neat action.
As an aside, this game, if I recall correctly, is the only game that I launched on PC thus far which plays at the full resolution of my ultrawide monitor (5120 x 1440).
Nowadays, I think the only open world games I'd want to play would be comic based (e.g., Spider-Man, Batman). However, the demo of The Precinct indicates the game will be a great one - perhaps even attract enough gameplay to become a fairly popular game.
Demo Rating: 5.2 out of 5
