    This is the Police is a minimalist title that combines simplicity with some fabulous musical themes and some performance problems that we will forget when we get to the City. A fantastic game that we highly recommend.

    This is the Police is one of a kind. It brings us an amazing management and strategy game where we have to run a police station in a city infected by corruption and mobs, at the same time that we mingle with the outlaws so we ensure a retirement in style.

    Overall the game can tend to get repetitive after a while, but when looking at the sum of all its parts it acutally is incredibly fun, something I didn't expect. The story points break up the simulation parts, and honestly the police sim is really well done and it is a lot of fun to run your own police department. This is the Police is a very enjoyable title, and one that that is worth playing for anyone who enjoys simulation games or noir police stories.

    I’ve really enjoyed my time with this very unique game. Yes there are pacing issues and it does outlive its welcome once we get about two thirds in, but for the price, there is a lot of game on display here.

    Tedious, pointless cutscenes drag the game endlessly. The gameplay itself does not get much more interesting.
