Police Simulator: Patrol Officers

Equal parts engrossing and buggy, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is a couple of bug-squashing patches away from being a truly great simulator on console. Even so, Brighton and its exceedingly criminal citizenry are still worth protecting and serving, especially for fans of the genre.

It’s a unique mix of challenging, fun, repetitive, and broken gameplay that somehow grows on you.

The goalpost may not have been particularly high, but Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is the best police sim game we’ve played. It’s far from perfect, but if you like the idea of dealing with petty crimes and road traffic accidents, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this. The detail-oriented approach will appeal to those who like to do things by the book, though others may find it laborious. But that’s the case with just about any simulation game, is it not?

As far as simulators go, it's not the worst. To the game's credit, it does offer the dull, mundane day-to-day routine that a lot of actual police officers call a career. If you want to spend hours writing tickets and slowly progressing in a meaningless career in law enforcement, you can do it here without the risk of being vilified on social media. But it could have been so much more had the systems in play been deeper and more robust, not to mention, fun. Instead, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is a bit of a buggy mess that feels half-baked and not ready for patrol just yet. Back to the academy with this one.

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is a game that should not have been made. It provides a core gameplay experience that is neither realistic enough to be a simulation nor interesting enough to be an actual game. At the same time, it unironically tries to cater to a fantasy that positions everyday people as enemies to be dealt with. Shamelessly borrowing the trappings of the Grand Theft Auto series without any of the satirical overtones leads to an unsettlingly pro-violence experience. It is even difficult to enjoy the game’s impressive environmental design thanks to a litany of visual glitches. Police Simulator: Patrol Officers misses the mark in almost every regard.

One of the best games made ever. Playing it for hundreds of hours and doesn't get boring. The dynamic suddenly appearing acccidents out of nowhere are the best.

this game is good for police officers/wants to be and the casual gamers. the game does get a lot of good updates every month but it can get very repetitive.

the gameplay is okay I like the fact that you get to navigate Brighton as a police officer and doing many things such as arresting people managing accident hanging out car tickets and many more but it feels a little repetitive but they did add some additional content so hopefully it’ll be somewhat different

Un juego bastante repetitivo, esta bien para pasar un rato y si eres un cazador de trofeos este platino es un aburrimiento TOTAL

Lots of bugs, freezes, bad graphics, monotonous gameplay, boring platinum( I almost died). I do not recommend taking a full-price or even at a discount. You may not be enough for such a dull game. It's better to play for free on PS+. Paying for this piece of **** is crazy.
