Police procedurals are one genre that have always gotten rich representation on TV via such series as Hill Street Blues. However, cop-em-ups have always gotten the shaft in favour of mere police-themed shoot-em-ups. Beat Cop looks to change all that by providing a more pure simulation of being a boy in blue, where you’re doing everything from writing tickets to checking license plates. With its pixelated graphics and point-n-click bureaucratic gameplay, Beat Cop is reminiscent of Papers Please, with a little bit of Police Quest mixed in there.
Six PC titles have been added to the list of games Prime subscribers can claim at no extra charge.
I just miss the days of Prime actually offering fast shipping...you know...the real reason most of us signed up for it. Not even really sure why I still have it at this point.
The Humble Bundle Complete 11 Bit Collection just launched today. It includes nine items including Frostpunk, Moonlighter, Children of Morta, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
From the outset Beat Cop takes its sweet time building up its experience. However with a little patience players will be laughing out loud while subconsciously manifesting officer Kelly into either a class act law enforcement officer or a dirt bag cop with selfish ambitions, again the chose belongs to the player.
I like how colorful the game looks. Def going to keep my eye on this.
