User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Rating: ★★★★ - Great Time Played: 13.3 hours Gameplay: - The core loop inverts GTA. You're the cop, not the criminal. Crime is procedurally generated across the city so you patrol and find it rather than sitting at a callout screen waiting. - Suspects have a willpower meter alongside health. Yelling at them, near-misses, and sustained pursuit chips it down until they surrender. Taking them in alive pays more XP than killing them, so there's a reason to bother. - Car chases are the best part of the game. Foot chases and gunfights are noticeably weaker, with on-foot aiming being the low point mechanically. - Repetition sets in hard around the 10-hour mark, 2-3 hours before the ending. The systems stop introducing anything new and the loop runs out of steam exactly when it should be building toward a payoff. - The upgrade tree isn't well-signposted. Wrong early choices make the mid-game punishing unnecessarily. Story\Dialogue: - Your father was murdered. You're a rookie cop. You climb the gang hierarchy to take them out. That's the whole plot and it doesn't develop much beyond that premise. - The two-gang structure gives the campaign forward momentum but it's predictable from the start. Soldiers, captains, underbosses, main boss, repeat. - The side investigation cases are the best content in the game. They ask you to find evidence and connect dots rather than chase someone down. There aren't enough of them. - Static character portraits in dialogue scenes are a visible budget limitation. The writing is serviceable but it doesn't do anything to compensate for the thin story. - Averno City 1983 as a setting is more interesting than the story written inside it. Graphics\Music: - The neon-noir isometric look holds up. Rain, lighting, and glowing storefronts give the city atmosphere where the dialogue doesn't. - Dynamic lighting is the visual standout, especially at night with headlights cutting through wet streets. - The synth-heavy 80s soundtrack fits the setting without becoming a parody of it. It's easy to leave on. - Static portrait art and some low-resolution character work are obvious concessions to the budget. Not immersion-breaking but noticeable. - PC performance is solid post-launch. No significant issues for a game that depends on responsive chase mechanics. Before you Play: - Put your first upgrade points into timed Running recovery. It makes chases much easier. - Collect artifacts from the beginning, not the end. They're locked in safeboxes across the city and backtracking for missed ones late game is tedious. Look up locations and grab them as you pass through areas. - Use Auto-Add Offences once you know the handbook and have done it for the first few hours. Manually logging charges is worth doing early to learn the system and immerse yourself, but after that it becomes tedious. The auto option exists for that reason. - Don't wait for callouts. Roam actively instead. Crime generates constantly on the streets and suspicious NPC clusters are almost always a crime in progress.
Steamdeck review Its a great game it plays great its like a cop version of gta almost it has its own vibe its fun to play the chases are cool alot of hidden stuff around the maps and to interact with Very detailed game Battery 🔋 life is good on this game it Definitely recommend grabbing this game
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,
