This is the Police was an addictive and very curious game that, using minimalistic means, showed all the hardships of the life of the head of the police department, who should not only take care of his city, but also sit in the chair and not make enemies in the mafia, and the lives of the police to dispose of. The game quickly won the hearts of an audience who liked to understand all these intricacies, and firmly established themselves on different platforms, supporting the interest of the community until the release of This is the Police 2.

Which managed not only to keep the bar of quality, but also on all fronts to become better than the original game. Although her focus has now changed quite a lot.This is the Police 2 relies heavily on its plot component. Despite the fact that during the introduction we are introduced to the interesting mechanics of tactical combat, which will need to be used in rare cases, then the game is already on the story track and is not going to turn off especially with them. Even in the first part, the influence of the plot was not so huge, if only because 25 of the first 30 minutes were not allotted for watching videos. The plot is written in the spirit of a high-quality crime drama and is eventful, and it is presented in the form of a minimalist animated comic book, with voice acting, a choice of replicas for the answers and the formation of the characters’ personality. It’s interesting to follow the story and your choice affects what is happening, so they don’t get bored for a second – as soon as the pressure of the story begins to decline, the gameplay is immediately connected.We still manage the actions of the police station using a map of the city, a bunch of tables and auxiliary screens, which gives us a sense of control over the situation and what is happening. The day begins with the selection of the team – at the end of the previous day you need to determine who will go on the next shift, and in the morning we listen to complaints, equip the police officers who have come to work and leave them to wait in the station.

As soon as an event takes place in the town, the corresponding marker immediately appears on the map where you want to send your subordinates. And not one at a time, the game simply does not allow such a feint to be done, but by the team, and so that the amount of experience of the whole team is more than is necessary for this matter.Here the first problems with your employees begin to appear. Rather, they hit your head almost immediately.

One employee does not want to work with inexperienced police officers and pulls women to her aid in any convenient case. Another employee is guided by the principle “a woman is not a man” and generally refuses to go to work on a team with them. The third suffers from racism (or rather, the player suffers, trying to find his brothers by color of skin during each exit). Vanquish game mods. And Artavazd Muradyan, who is well-known to many, who is also present in the game, thumped at me and didn’t go to work, and even turned over on the car, as he got drunk behind the wheel and was out for three days to rest in a hospital bed.You suffer so much with employees that as soon as new personnel are found that allow you to survive the loss of a policeman, you want to substitute some of them during the shootout, removing the conflicting expense item. Although, of course, it is better to pump them correctly. But if a person creates conflicts within the team, he cannot catch up with the homeless man with his pants down and at the same time, during the shot, the robber gets to anywhere, but not to the target, despite pumping up the weapon possession skill to the maximum – it’s just too easy to fire him, don’t find? The skill leveling system is simple and clear enough.

During the trip to the situation, you will have the opportunity to somehow react to it (for example, immediately knock down the same old man who decided to shit at the bank, or try to negotiate with him) by choosing not only the desired action, but also one of the nearby police officers. If he has a taser, he can use the taser.

If not, then he can try to dissuade the criminal (it turns out only with a good negotiator skill or pumped intellect), or he can scare off and try to catch up (if the run is pumped). Otherwise, each case will turn into a nightmare, reflecting both on statistics and on the experience of employees – it will inexorably creep down in case of failures, depreciating each of the policemen and forcing to attract more and more people to each case.Things with the course of the game are becoming more and more interesting and complicated, and now patrol work intersects with the work of the criminal investigation department, and while one part of the team is looking for a girl lost in the park, the other can investigate the maniac’s dismemberment or cruel actions.

Further, the game begins to gain momentum even more, offering not quite legal cases, strange frauds, begins to play on the moral principles of the gamer and tries to provoke, giving the opportunity to choose from two evils. In general, it becomes more and more interesting with every minute spent in the game.Separately, it is worth talking about the system of tactical battles, which are rare here. This is, in fact, a full-fledged tactical component – with the ability to sneak up on the enemy, stun him (baton, taser, spray can – everything will do) and arrest him. Hacking, penetration, shootouts, and even an attack on the criminals’ house in the forehead – all this has been implemented to one degree or another, moreover, using the unique abilities of your subordinates.

And there is a feeling that if there was a separate game only about such situations and without everything else, it would also be very interesting to play it.But This is the Police 2, as in the first part, does not focus on one thing. This is a full-fledged hodgepodge of elements perfectly adjusted to each other, which still complement each other perfectly and work in one bundle, delighting with unusual gameplay and high-quality implementation of the general concept. Therefore, fans of the original, and players who are not familiar with it, should like it – unless, of course, the very topic of the sheriff of a small town does not irritate you.Speaking of screenshots, on which there are both Russian and English inscriptions. The game offers all Russian-language subtitles and menus right away, but the voice acting is English in any case. What can someone upset.
