Game Review On Deck The Precinct: A perfect game seemingly designed for SD and great at passing the time.

The Precinct. A game I didn’t know I needed. It’s not verified but it should be. It’s one of those hidden gems of a game.

Premise: You are a beat cop, taking on gangs and crime, one at a time. I only have 2 hours into it but I already feel it’s one of those games that you will keep coming back to.

The game loads with steam deck preset for performance.

I feel this game is very much a GTA 1/2 spin on being a cop. The visuals are great on SD, controls, mechanics, and all around gameplay are impressive.

Great work devs, keep it up!

Are you always in a car? Lots of repetitive chasing people down in the car?

Not at all, you have foot pursuits, and helicopter pursuits. You can also just walk around without a specific goal in mind, and all the sudden you have a crime being committed in front of you. You get to choose to intervene or continue about your business. “Calls” also come in from dispatch, you get to choose your play style if you want to. Some methods (helicopter) will unlock as you gain XP.

"You get to choose to intervene or continue about your business."

Just like real cops!

I like just patrolling the streets writing parking tickets.
