Description

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.

  • Respond to sandbox crimes ranging from parking violations to gang shootouts

  • Engage in intense vehicle chases through destructible environments

Its a great game. It reminds me of an old GTA (1,2 or teh chinatown) but you play as an opposite side. If you like either of the True Crime series or the GTA, you should try it.
  • Good graphics.
  • System req. is not high.
  • Works well on steam deck.
  • Sometimes the driving is weird.
  • To me, its weird the NPC-s try to escape even with minor crimes.
  • No free patroll. You are having shifts on set parts of the city.

Fun little game - I spend 30h in it overall. Devs seem active on delivering patches so a few QoL and AI improvements would elevate the game even more and maybe make me jump back in later also.

It could be a good game but after a few hours of gameplay it starts being really repetative which makes this game boring after a while.

  • No support of mods
  • Keyboard gameplay is a pain in the a...

No game in recent decades has pulled me into its world quite like this—it's a love letter to the gritty charm of GTA 1 and 2, wrapped in a neon-soaked noir dream. The smoky streets, the flickering lights, the haunting wave music pulsing in the background—it all blends into something uniquely mesmerizing. It’s not just a game, it’s a vibe. Exceptionally fun, effortlessly cool. To the developers: you've revived a forgotten feeling. Keep this alive as long as you can.
