— “The Precinct is an impressive sandbox romp. Fueled by a dynamic crime system that offers up hours of fun, bite-sized objectives, it’s a very difficult game to put down. Every patrol is different, and although tedium does start to set in as the campaign approaches its conclusion, it’s still easy to appreciate the intricate and tight design of this ode to old cop movies.”

— “The Precinct offers an enjoyable police simulation inspired by classic GTA games, featuring varied missions and an action-packed atmosphere. However, it suffers from some flaws like repetitive gameplay, imprecise shooting, and difficult driving controls.”

— “The Precinct gives you every tool you need to succeed, whether it’s an unlimited supply of cop cars, backup arriving for everything you could ask for, or criminals who, for the most part, are awfully easy to catch. It never seems to realize its own goofiness, which means that you can use its sandbox nature to make things get absurd.”
