From the @wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Precinct_(video_game)):
The Precinct is an action-adventure video game developed by Fallen Tree Games and published by Kwalee. It takes inspiration from the early Grand Theft Auto games with a top-down perspective. Unlike Fallen Tree Games' previous project, American Fugitive, the protagonist is a police officer.[1] The Precinct was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in May 2025. It received mostly positive reviews from critics.
Set in the same universe as American Fugitive, the game takes place in Averno City (a fictional place inspired by New York City) during 1983. The player controls Nick Cordell Jr., the son of late police chief Nick Cordell Sr.[2][3] Starting equipment includes a 6-shot .38 revolver, a baton, and a taser. Similar to the Police Quest series, the player has to follow police procedures such as writing tickets for improperly parked vehicles, only using force when necessary, reading a suspect's Miranda rights and booking arrested suspects at the police station.[2] Players can also call backup and use helicopters.[4]
Originally slated for an August 15, 2024 release,[5] The Precinct was delayed to a Fall 2024 release due to time constraints.[6] As part of Steam's October 2024 Next Fest, a demo was released on October 14.[7] It was again pushed back to a proposed 2025 release date.[8] The game released on May 13, 2025.[9]
The Precinct received "mostly positive" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[10][11][12] OpenCritic determined that 57% of critics recommended the game.[13]
IGN praised its varied gameplay and realism, but criticized repetitiveness.[14] Push Square called the game an "impressive sandbox romp" that is "fueled by a dynamic crime system that offers up hours of fun".[16] However, PCGamesN gave a negative review stating the game is a "deeply repetitive open-world police simulator".[15]
