I wanted to like this game so much more. If it were cut in half, this would be a fantastic game. The story could be considered cliche, but still, I liked Jack quite a bit, and his life slowly spiraling even more out of his control is an intriguing ride. The voice actors gave a solid performance, especially Jack’s voice actor. The soundtrack is enjoyable plus giving the option to pick your songs for each day is a nice touch.
The gameplay is compelling at the beginning. Trying to optimize which people to send, how many and to try and catch false alarms so you don’t waste your time is intriguing, but for the first 50-60 days. After that, it quickly gets monotonous. And while I like the story, the story moments are so far away from each other that you could be playing day after day, with nothing changing, in the meantime. By the end of it, I was going as fast as possible through the days so I could get it over with. I had an army of officers not caring if they died or not.
If you want a police management game, that you can play and do something else simultaneously (that’s what I started doing from the middle of the game) I recommend it, especially if it’s on sale.
