The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the unique aesthetic while others criticize the minimalistic and choppy visuals. Many users express a desire for improved graphics and a more realistic art style, noting that the current design detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, some players find the gameplay immersive and engaging, suggesting that the graphics could benefit from significant enhancements.
“Peak gameplay, amazing graphics, 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to be a British police officer.”
“Don't get fooled by the wacky graphics, this is a solid police simulator.”
“I don't see any stuttering or graphical issues yet.”
“Gameplay gets pretty nerve-wracking and immersive, despite the horrible graphics. A friend of mine ducked away and almost fell over after getting shot at the first time.”
“Don't get it, really don't. The game is okay, but the graphics are horrible and choppy. You play a game like Spider-Man and the graphics are incredible and the gameplay is smooth, yet this game is the opposite. What gives?”
“The graphics are also very minimalistic, and every scenario so far has played at the exact same location.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some praising the immersive and nerve-wracking mechanics that simulate the quick decision-making required of a police officer, while others criticize the lack of variety and poor graphics. Despite some solid gameplay elements, many feel it is limited and not suitable for all ages, leading to a disconnect between the game's concept and execution. Overall, while there are moments of peak gameplay, the experience is marred by technical issues and a lack of depth.
“I love the mechanics, how you have to be on your toes and risk assess constantly, simulating a real police officer's required quick thinking in the scenarios that are shown.”
“I love the concept, and what gameplay they do have is pretty solid (the stress of having only half a second to draw and shoot at someone who pulls a gun is very authentic).”
“While it still has its fair share of gameplay issues (most of which have now been fixed thanks to some very good devs), it really makes you think about what's happening and I think that's beautiful.”
“It lacks proper gameplay and feels like it's made for a 7 year old.”
“You've basically witnessed everything; there's not enough variety and randomness in the gameplay.”
“The problem is the limited gameplay.”

The story is described as tense and somewhat unforgiving, contributing to its immersive experience, though some moments can feel jarring, such as character interactions that break immersion. Players appreciate the fast-paced nature of missions, which adds to the intensity, but also express a desire for more content in the future. Overall, the narrative effectively conveys the high-stakes environment faced by law enforcement.
“Hope they add more missions in the future!”
“He literally feels like a character from a different world the first time you go out on a mission with him; if that's not immersion breaking, I have no idea what is.”
“He literally feels like a stripper the first time you go out on a mission with him; if that's not immersion breaking, I have no idea what is.”
“I went in expecting a bit of a laugh, but on my second mission, the bad guy drew his gun so quickly that I didn't react. While I was waiting for the next mission, all I could think of was the sheer speed it happened. I am thankful that our UK officers don't have to deal with that as often as our cousins across the Atlantic, but it does make you understand the trigger happiness of us cops.”
“Very tense at times and somewhat unforgiving, but that's the beauty of it.”
