The Precinct is an indie game with ambition. Its fictional 1980s setting of Averno City is an enjoyably complex little sandbox, presenting players with an endless supply of procedurally generated crimes that need to be stopped from a top-down perspective, reminiscent of old Grand Theft Auto games.
Fallen Tree Games' Lewis Boadle joined 80LV to discuss the making of The Precinct, sharing the inspirations and technical details behind its noir visuals, car chases, and sandbox crimes.
The Precinct has some issues like car controls and gun combat. It is still the best police simulator out there
It's pretty fun so far to me on PS5 it also has 4.75 rating from more than 500 players on ps5 if that count for anything
The Precinct is a chaotic cop sandbox with wild chases, repetitive tasks, and retro flair. It’s rough, but there’s fun in the mess.
