- Despite some minor bugs and distractions, The Precinct emphasizes players to uphold the role of a good cop with game-ending consequences for rogue behavior.
- The game straddles between serious dispatch tales and lighthearted, emergent crime-fighting, offering a distinctive experience for players interested in police simulation games.
