Firstly, I think people really overlook the soundtrack of this game. I played it a while ago and I still like to put the soundtrack on as background noise. It really is great. Second, I hear a lot of complaining about the story and I just didn't think it was that bad. There were moments that I didn't like the protagonist and that's ok. I think the way it's written is supposed to make you dislike Jack at times. I like that about it. Finally, the game play is ok. A little difficult at times if you're trying to take out all suspects in a raid without killing any of them but I think that is good because it leaves you with a choice that can be difficult to make. Take them alive or prioritize the safety of your officers. Besides I like a challenge. I know this review isn't easy to read but I rarely make reviews. Sorry about the formatting.

Really appreciated the Northern Gothic/Noir police story vibes. The setting is great, a town spiritually somewhere between Fargo and Belarus that gives a sort of Alaskan vibe with eldritch horror lurking just out of sight akin to True Detective. Somehow they also managed to craft an better soundtrack than the first game, even when a song jumps a few genres it lands perfectly for the vibe. They really dialed in the game mechanics and the deputies under you feel even more like living characters with different personalities and watching them gain skill or pull themselves together when they become loyal to you is a really rewarding experience. The gameplay also follows the investigation style of a Sheriff's Department more than a typical big city detective which was a cool shift. The crime is both representative of a small town but also escalates to the point of what daily security and counter terror work must feel like in a town Northeast Syria. The contraband system and favor cultivating is great in this game too, really reminiscent of '90s police tactics like offering kids a boom box for info. Oh and one big difference between this and the first game is they added turn based combat to special tactical missions which I really enjoyed. The Police being limited to service revolvers and their special skills really made it click for me, it's a little bare-bones to some extent, but its still fun and they seemed to have done more to it in Rebel Cops. The story is more fleshed out in this one than in the first one and I almost feel it does more justice to the plot of the first game in the dialogue than the first game did, but I don't want to be harsh.

It's not perfect, but this game oozes tension and character. The gameplay is decent, but the story telling/voice acting is phenomenal. Strong recommend if you've ever watched Fargo or True Detective.

again, good story but too sluggish. I fail to stay engaged, shift after shift after shift

Jan. 2024

A fantastic sequel with some improvements to the gameplay that keep you really engaged and wanting to come back for more as you manuever through the playable sections. The new gameplay takes all the fun of the previous game and adds a new layer which is welcome and fun. The story is just as engaging and interesting as the last game and you constantly want to see what will happen next. Highly recommended.
