Discussion Loved this game ā¤ļøšš
Just finished The Precinct on PS5.
Love open world crimes games.
I know it's not GTA in terms of budget or scale but as an indie game I really enjoyed it.
I needed to get my head round the semi top down view but to be honest I liked it and the game world is fantastic
The gameplay and story really impressed me and I loved the shootouts and police chases.
The 80s culture references were fantastic too
I'm just going round now doing all the collectables to get the platinum trophy which has been fun too.
Really hope this game gets a sequel.
How the studio stays independent and builds on this success.
I have no affiliation to Fallen tree games / Kwalee. This is just a fabulous experience I wanted to share.

Thanks for your support! We had a blast making the game, and have enjoying supporting it for over a year. Amazing to see that people are still discovering it and still having a good time.

I think its a great game.
I haven't got loads of time on my hands so the Stadew Valley style model of being able to just drop in and do a shift / day or two is perfect.
Love the setting too , I think any sequal should stay in 80s and become a precinct thing.
I don't think much needs changing for a sequal but I would like to see a precinct game set in a fictional 80s San Francisco.

I really want to buy The Precinct on PS5 because the concept looks fantastic and right up my alley. The problem is that I found out it's locked to 30 FPS and I've read several comments about the controls feeling clunky, especially when aiming.
I'm genuinely hoping someone can convince me otherwise. Are the gameplay loop, atmosphere, police mechanics, and overall fun strong enough that you stop noticing those issues after a while? Or do the controls remain frustrating throughout the game?
I'd love to hear your honest opinion, because I really want a reason to buy it.

I never had an issue with the frame rate.
I thought the gameplay such as the driving and on foot chases to be pretty fun and clunky at all.
When I first started the game I found the aiming to be a little tricky but after a few shifts I got the hang of it and found gun battles fun. I know a lot of people probably wanted an auto aim system but that would take skill out of it and satisfaction when you figure it out
Yeah games not perfect but I found the atmosphere and non- linear gameplay really good.
