In a refreshing twist on the traditional crime genre, “The Precinct” invites players to step into the shoes of a police officer in the fictional Averno City. This game not only flips the narrative of urban crime games like “Grand Theft Auto” but also immerses players in the complexities of law enforcement during the gritty 1980s. As players navigate through various shifts, they can choose to tackle everything from minor parking violations to intense gang shootouts, all while unraveling a personal mystery involving the protagonist’s father.
