Highway Police Simulator

game runs like ♥♥♥♥ dont buy it!!!!!!

This is a very very ambitious and promising game with a clear vision and a brilliant concept, but it's still a bit rough and unpolished. However, devs are very active on Discord and committed to improving the game. I hold a lot of hope for this title and recommend it to any police simulation fans. The game includes a storyline with several missions, plus procedurally generated random callouts and world events to address when on patrol. When no call is coming in, you can still contact dispatch to ask to be assigned to some job. This is a phenomenal idea, which basically allows you to always have something to do. Your car is also equipped with several tools, including a speed radar, which also can be used as a gameplay in the quietest moments of your patrol. There is no shift system and you cannot select the time of day, but there's a pretty nice time cycle. The map is huge and very well crafted. Vehicle models and the flashing lights are beautiful. Overall the visual design is really evocative and immersive. I love the sunset and nighttime and the varied environments, from small towns to desert areas or thick forests. I enjoy roaming around in the patrol car just to absorb and explore all the various areas of the map. Contrary to what some other reviews say, the driving physics are actually excellent and feel very realistic. The major drawback here is the damage system, which is too sensitive. The slightest bump can destroy your car completely. This should be tweaked. Where the game is really shining is the procedural aspects of the police work: traffic stops and the processing of incidents in general is outstandingly realistic, with a thorough in-car computer system which includes the ability to check every vehicle in the police database and write your own reports for each incident. Amazing. The major weakness of the game is that it is still quite buggy despite some recent updates. Callouts don't always spawn correctly, cutscenes have many errors, and, most importantly, the AI traffic is quite a mess: cars don't move out of your way when you come through with the siren, and traffic tends to accumulate behind you, which means empty roads ahead, but massive traffic congestion behind you. These are all aspects that can be addressed in future patches, and although they can be really frustrating, I don't think they're enough to warrant a negative review. This game has vision, ambition and potential and players should be more patient with developers that are trying to do their best. With proper updates and some expansion (new callouts, more interiors etc), the game could become the best police simulator ever released. That said, the price point is still a bit high for such an unpolished game, and I would recommend buying it when on sale.
