SHORT REVIEW: This is the most complete and action-packed police simulator around. It is less procedural and much more complete, fun, and replayable than Police Simulator: Patrol Officers. It has a vast open world and you can access many buildings too. Unlike Police Simulator Patrol Officers, this game allows you to experience a variety of police situations, from mundane parking tickets and traffic controls, to car …

This game had so much potential and could've been peak or at the very least a good game, but the amount of bugs and performance issues held it back so much. Even worse, it seems like since 2019 no one has been even able to open the game as it automatically closes no matter their device, even all the community posts are from 2019. I wouldn't recommend this game as the developer has clearly given up on it and would be …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah,the first games were quite good. I actually know someone who got into policing because of these games - and was a full detective by the time Open Season released - who was appalled by this Open Season and the following games. It's a shame,really,because after that there weren't any good "beat cop" games to this day anymore, at least I am not aware of any. (Police Simulator is well... not having any story and so PG-washed that it's basically parking enforcement...)

neutral · AI labelView post →So i have owned this game since release, i can honestly say I have never seen an update. That being said I do think this game has a great idea but the bugs, the issues and the game play just sucks. All the reviews giving it a thumbs up only have 1 review and are within the current month. I highly recommend you avoid this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bugged out mess. Multiplayer slowly got harder and harder to play as the police car stopped working, the inventory items stopped working and finally the menu died. Eventually the game was just unplayable. Pee-ew! What a Stinker!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was overpriced for how glitchy it was. At this rate, I was confused why it was around 17-25 Pounds. I was very unhappy about this. Everytime I loaded it up, it would crash. I request this is to be fixed and more compatible on Windows 11 and 10.

negative · AI labelView post →The idea behind this game is rather good and enjoyable. Everything else is not. Bad optimization and more bugs than ARK. Not worth the 20$ it costs. Buy Flashing Lights or GTA with LSPDFR instead

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a really good game, nice realism, and it is fun to play. Sometimes there are bugs but they can easily be fixed by restarting the game. Amazing game. Totally recommend it. And only for $20? Really good deal, at least I think so.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game a huge variety of game-play, it's not a full simulator with enjoyable scenarios. All scenarios are the same, calls are the same and it's really hard to rank up to access different weapons, calls, ranks and of course it's vehicles.
