However, this free Steam title may just make waiting a whole lot easier.
Let us rewind first.
We all remember the original Grand Theft Auto games where the poor cops were helpless against our tricks, especially with AI not being as advanced as it is today.
In Grand Theft Auto V, cops became a whole lot more aware of our escapades but how would it feel to have to deal with all of these criminals?
Well, in The Precinct, we can finally get payback.
Set in 1983, this upcoming crime noir sandbox title takes place in a city where gangs rule the land and as a cop, it is up to you to maintain order.
“Explore the ever-shifting criminal underbelly of Averno City,” the Steam synopsis reads.
“Deal with yuppies, bums, street vendors and furious taxi drivers from the Projects to the Financial District.
Chase perps through neon-lit alleys, rain-soaked streets, and grand, decaying parklands, all subject to a day/night cycle and dynamic weather.
This is the 1980s East Coast in all its neon-noir glory.”
You will play as Officer Nick Cordell Jr. who must take to the lawless streets fresh from the Academy.
However, in between thrilling car chases, sandbox crimes and a “healthy dose of 1980s noir”, you will also have to solve your father’s murder in this “love letter to classic cop movies”.
Set to fully release later this year but with a demo free to play now, The Precinct is already hitting the Steam charts with over 100k downloads already.
So if you are eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto VI but still want in on the action in the meantime, The Precinct is a hidden gem you don’t want to miss out on.
