## About This Is the Police 2

This Is the Police 2 is a story-driven strategy title developed by Weappy Studio and published by THQ Nordic, released in 2018 at $14.99. The gameplay combines police department management with turn-based tactical missions, incorporating systems for tracking corruption and maintaining officer loyalty. Random events influence outcomes throughout, and players report that the officer management feels reactive and punishing. Reviewers highlight that the narrative delivers a bleak character study of a morally compromised protagonist, with the presentation described as cinematic and the overall atmosphere as dark and grim. The management decisions create tension as players balance competing priorities. The game holds a 63% positive rating from 1,360 Steam reviews, runs verified on Steam Deck, and offers a medium-length challenging experience for solo players.
