✦ AI summary

This Is the Police offers an engaging story and fun core gameplay mechanics that initially draw players in, but the game's excessive length of 180 in-game days becomes a significant grind that frustrates many players, particularly when unpredictable mission requirements and the possibility of losing make progression feel tedious. Players suggest it may be worth considering only if you find the central gameplay loop particularly appealing and have patience for a lengthy campaign.

A fun game and interesting story
Not recommended Sep 12, 2026
This game is quite interesting for the first little bit and the gameplay is fun, but I am already noticing things that are slightly annoying. Now if the game was a reasonable length this wouldn't be an issue, but as I kept playing it became clear that it will legitimately last 180 in game days and that is way too long. Especially since you can just lose. Now the story is fun, but with the sheer timesink that playing 180 in game days involves and the way you often have no way of predicting how many cops you will need for parts of a day I just can't muster the energy to play more because it just doesn't seem worth it. That being said, if you find the core gameplay very appealing this could be a great purchase.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
