    I didn't really enjoy the game as it didn't live up to my expectations, I was hoping for it to have a better story line for me personally to like it better.

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

    Sleek, sleazy and stylish, but lacking the punch and mouldable story that we crave. [June 2017, p.86]

    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.

    Overall, This Is the Police has some nice aesthetics and good voice acting along with a few good ideas in terms of a strategy simulator, but not much else worthwhile. The writing could use more polish and so could the storyline. Had the developers focused on meaningful missions, it would’ve elevated the game considerably. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with a reminder of what could’ve been.
