    The game is lacking lightness, is unclear and too forced. The original gameplay is surrounded by shallow innovations that make the game hard to like and undermine the new plot. [Issue#290]

    I would never go so far as to say that This is the Police 2 is a poorly or incompetently made game, but it is by no means a fun one. Even if you loved the first game, I cannot recommend this sequel to you, either for its gameplay or its story. For what it's worth, the game's story ends on a cliff hanger, and I am still interested in seeing how the next game turns out. I don't know if the third game will end up being a good one, but I do know that I have no desire to ever go back and play through the second one.

    The game pulls its punches when depicting the rot at the heart of a northern border city's law enforcement.

The game then takes 20 minutes to unload the story on you, with cut-scenes, that despite having a unique and well made art style, are poorly written and unnecessary. This might be on account of me not having played the first one though. The game play itself is a strategic turn-based puzzle that you have to solve, using the tools that each officer brings to the mission. After a few missions, they unfortunately get stale. The policing of the city adds another layer of depth, but again it suffers from a lack of depth and it becomes very apparent how to game the system to never have major problems.

    It is clear that a lot of effort went into the story, but it sadly detracts from the overall experience instead of adding anything. I never got engaged in the characters, mostly due to how poorly the script is written. The game also suffers from poor voice acting, this is often times no problem if the script itself is engaging.

    The game ends up coming just short in most of its elements. Granted i think i got halfway through, so i'm now aware if further elements are added that make it more engaging, but that shouldn't be necessary for a game like this.

    One thing they did really well however was the art style.    … Full Review »

    Я искренне не понимаю почему эта игра никому не понравилась. По моему это самая недооценённая игра 2018 года. THIS IS THE POLICE 2 - этоЯ искренне не понимаю почему эта игра никому не понравилась. По моему это самая недооценённая игра 2018 года. THIS IS THE POLICE 2 - это прямое сюжетное продолжение первой части разбавленное новыми увлекательными игровыми механиками. Но в любом случае, рекомендую играть в эту игру только после прохождения первой части.

    9/10, так как первую игру это всё равно не перепрыгнет.    … Full Review »

I give this game 3/10. It has just murdered my love to This is the police. The first game was great. I loved it. Truly. I play indie games sometimes. I would say 1 indie game for 1 AAA title. Maybe I don't know everything and it isn't the best review you can get but it's my opinion. And dear devs, just go to your office / workshop / whatever and give me real This is the police 2, not this "money making product for xcom fans". You had your style! You had your gameplay! Why you have destroyed it?! I will quote here Dr. Emmett Brown "We have to go back".… Full Review »
