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.
Chris Brandrick writing for overkill asks, what if GTA played by the rules? "The Precinct tries it — and well, I can’t believe I enjoyed issuing parking tickets either."
"The Precinct is an interesting mix of playstyles and routines to give some depth to its police procedural adventure."

NoobFeed editor Jay writes - The Precinct has the potential to be great as a view into the other side of things if you're a GTA fan, but that would all depend on whether you can look past some of the issues. It’s worth a play if you're ever curious to see what the cop life is like.
