This has the most skippable mobile game ass dialogue out of any game I've ever played in my entire life. That said, the gameplay loop is genuinely fire. Recommend getting it on sale.

The Precinct ”Ahhh, another beautiful day in paradise” A good game, a little short but then that could be a good thing as it could outstay its welcome if it was needlessly bloated. Full of Cop drama tropes, for example. An officer close to retirement, Doughnut & Hotdog jokes, A hardboiled detective duo, a mysterious case, an officer named Kowalski. Its all here. Good little story and fun gameplay. Works fantastic on a pad and all the radial menus are smooth. I would say shooting is better on M&K but that's obvious. From standard beat cop tasks to full on gang wars. Even makes looking for parking infractions and giving tickets fun! Graphics are nice and music is very suitable for the era being portrayed. I'll be very interested to see what Fallen Tree Games do next Trail-Dave ”Brass ones kid"

I completed the story mode and have just been messing with it since, I can see why some people may not like it, but for being a fan of the top down camera viewpoint, this games flaws can be overlooked by me. This is not a detective game, it is shift based beat cop game, you will run shifts as parking enforcement, tow truck driving, Helicopter shifts, traffic enforcement , no real deep thinking involved, I kinda enjoyed that pacing, easy to play,

Tl;Dr: The Precinct is a solid and immersive police _simulator_ with really nice graphics, art style, voice acting and ambience. There are some issues and annoyances, but none of them force you to put the game down. All in all Fallen Tree Games did a really great job with this one. Thanks for the hard work and i'm looking forward to future updates! (+DLC?) Some positives: - Tackling fleeing suspects catapult in a really comical way, watching backup do it too is also hilarious - Random events happening around you are really cool and immersive - If you ignore a callout, but head to the location anyway, normally you will still find the crime being committed, again really nice immersion - Criminals with guns are really trying to kill you, making dealing with shootouts challenging and gratifying to resolve. - LISTEN to the game, you will hear alarm bells when there's a burglary happening nearby, shooting when there's a shootout and people screaming when they're being mugged. Really, really nice touch. *Kelly (if you have him with you) will even comment on being able to hear these things - extremely well thought out feature. - The later street races, time trials and safety box codes can be genuinely challenging to win gold / work out, not just hollow side quests. - Driving your car back to the precinct with arrestees in the back will prompt officers standing outside to come and grab them and take them inside, you'll still get the +250 for booking them yourself too - "Press X to read rights", never gets old. - Developers are active and releasing QOL patches Some other people have commented on issues with partner not chasing criminals or booking suspects but this seems to have been patched by the time i picked it up, partner and reinforcement officers arrest anyone as long as they catch them, they'll also book them themselves if you cuff them and pursue other suspects, as long as they're around. Some comments / feedback in case the devs see this though; 1. Getting into / out of a vehicle will re-equip your pistol every time, rather than remember your previous selection. 2. Police van is really cool but you can still only fit 2 in it, would be cool if it had increased capacity over other vehicles. 3. Some of the cars (Police 4x4, for example) have a really weird 'friction' when accellerating from standstill, seems really odd, feathering the throttle (thinking it might've been wheelspin) does not help unfortunately (making some cars basically too annoying to bother choosing them over something else). 4. Backup system is really good but when dealing with gang shootouts it's not possible to call backup unless you kill or arrest someone, lest you get shot before you manage to. Maybe the reinforcements meter could gradually increase over time as long as you're in the vicinity, or jump up if you get shot enough? This has been patched! 5. You can't immediately arrest someone if you taze them, as they just sort of 'jolt' standing up - once it wares off you need to keep tagging them until you wear down their energy until they throw their hands up. Making it far easier to simply wait and tackle them when they start running again. Really think this could be easily fixed if they dropped when you taze them. 6. Accidentally tazing someone who throws their hands up in the middle of a pursuit ends with immediate failure and resets you as if you died. For this specifically, i really think it'd be better if it just slapped you with the -150 for police misconduct and lets you carry on with the arrest... 7. If you enter an event (like a race or time trial) while you have arrestees in your car, they will disappear since the world is re-loaded. I do get it but maybe a warning that it's going to happen wouldn't go amiss (for those that don't know better) 8. If you call an escort to pickup someone you arrest, you don't get the +250 for their eventual arrival to the precinct, unless you're in the vicinity and you watch as they're escorted inside. I kind of understand this one but still feels a bit like a punishment for not doing anything wrong... You DO get +50 for calling an escort but wonder if that's enough? 9. If anyone but the player books the suspect at the precinct, you don't see if you missed any committed crimes... Would be cool if it showed up as part of the report when you're done resolving. 10. You get penalised if you fail to carry out certain actions when you're arresting someone - Like breathalising someone. If they don't smell of alcohol, why would should I? I really think the points should be based on how you did given the evidence that is presented to you - Does a driver smell like alcohol? Yes - Breathalise and book for DUI, If you don't breathalise, but book for DUI, penalise for lack of evidence? This has been patched! I know some of these are nitpicking, but if just 1 of them are even considered i really think this game could be A++ (Even though it's already definitely an A+)
