Title : IN SHORT
|
With feverish anticipation for the release of GTA 6, a new crime game promises a dose of Rockstar nostalgia, but with an unexpected surprise. But is it really worth it?
A Tasty Return to the Sources
While waiting for the arrival of GTA 6, a new crime game arrives on the scene to remind us of the good old days of Rockstar. This game, The Precinct, takes us into a very retro top-down perspective, similar to GTA 1, 2 And Chinatown Wars. But this time, instead of playing the criminals, you take on the role of a cop from the 80s.
A Black Series Scenario
In The Precinct, you are thrust into an intense crime drama following the death of your father. You must now enforce the law as a police officer. This means you’ll move to the other side of Grand Theft Auto’s famous search system – this time, you’re the law enforcement chasing the criminals.
A Love Letter to Classic Cop Movies
Inspired by old cop movies from the 80s, The Precinct offers a variety of procedurally generated crimes in addition to the main story. You can pursue bandits on foot, set up roadblocks for them, or simply patrol the busy city streets.
Protocol and Realism at the Heart of the Game
Unlike GTA, being a police officer means following the rules: handcuffing suspects, checking their papers, searching them and talking to them to understand the situation. Sometimes you might even come across innocent people. Fortunately, the paperwork is not your problem, it is delegated to your partner.
Developers Take Their Time
The Precinct was recently pushed back to fall 2024. This additional time will allow Fallen Tree Games to polish their game before release. Although the wait may seem long, the quality of the final product will likely be worth it.
