L.A. Noire is an intense police investigation game. Set in 1940s Los Angeles, you step into the shoes of Cole Phelps, solving cases through clues and interrogating suspects using a facial animation tech that lets you read emotions.

This is the ideal pick if you like the detective angle in The Precinct. The game also includes car chases and shootouts, blending police drama with cinematic style. It’s slower-paced but with much deeper investigation mechanics.

Fans of The Precinct seeking a story-driven, slow-burn cop drama should give this a try.

2) American Fugitive

American Fugitive is made by the same devs as The Precinct (Fallen Tree Games). Here, you’re a man wrongly accused of murder, escaping prison to prove your innocence.

Set in a gritty 1980s-inspired town, the game gives you open-world freedom, destructible environments, and wild police chases from a top-down view. It’s largely similar to The Precinct with a criminal twist and tons of explosive freedom.

Explore this title if you want sandbox gameplay with the same energy, but from a criminal’s POV.

3) Teardown

While Teardown isn’t about cops, it nails the destructive chaos that The Precinct fans love. It’s a heist game where nearly everything is destructible.

Every building and vehicle can be smashed, exploded, or broken apart for creative heist planning. If you trigger alarms, the police come for you, leading to some chaotic escapes. The physics-based gameplay rewards you for your creativity, making it the perfect alternative to The Precinct.

Try out the game if you like causing destruction and outsmarting cops in creative ways.

4) Crash Time 2

Crash Time 2 places you behind the wheel of German Autobahn police officers, with missions centered around car chases and roadside action.

The game offers destructible vehicle combat, takedown missions, and fast-paced action. If your favorite part of The Precinct was ramming bad guys off the road, this one delivers even more high-speed fun.

Try this title out if you didn't get enough of those cop car chases and city-wide pursuits.

5) Enforcer: Police Crime Action

Enforcer is a police simulator where you enforce the law in a town filled with random crimes and dangerous situations. This title is suitable for players who want a more tactical version of The Precinct.

The game follows a realistic and tactical approach. In it, you patrol a town, respond to crimes, arrest suspects, and carry out SWAT raids. It’s not as flashy as The Precinct, but it adds simulation depth with strategy, AI teamwork, and procedural missions.

If you want more grounded, serious police gameplay, this is a must-try.

Each game here has something you would have liked in The Precinct. Thus, while you wait for more updates or mods, any of these titles should keep you busy.
