I loved TITP1 and I really want to love TITP2, but I simply cannot recommend this to anyone until they fix it, and I will update this review if they do. You can scroll in handheld and with detached joycons - If you use the up dpad button a few times to scroll through menus it stops working for no apparent reason, you're forced to scroll up with the analog although you can still scroll down with dpad - Some of the mission options are untranslated, I'm playing in English and have had to attempt to read what looks like Russian, but this hasn't been major yet - There are more obvious bugs that I've run into but those don't really affect your experience and are mildly annoying at most. I've tried restarting the console, reloading my save, different controller schemes, everything I could think of, no cigar - No touchscreen support - If using a pro-controller, you can't scroll through mission text and you can't just plug another controller, it requires either a dock/undock or a game restart. Run the sheriffs department, manage your cops, make tough decisions and try to keep out of prison yourself in this story-driven mixture of adventure. As stated above, I can't continue my game because it's stuck on a day that I can't finish. Negatives: - The game is littered with bugs, some more breaking than others. Positives: - Fun, stealthy tactical missions, where going guns blazing usually is bad for you - Arguably good writing: So far not as good as the first game, but quite solid none the less - Your officers are unbearably fussy, but when you get used to it it actually adds up to the management game, although it breaks realism completely. In my case, it's literally IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY through the game as on December 7(in-game days) I'm required to read a message to finish the day, yet the message bugged out and cannot be opened. It's a fun game when it works, problem is it doesn't.
This is the police 2 story Patch#
Original review: TLDR: Don't buy it in the current state on the Nintendo Switch, wait for a patch and if that never comes just don't play it, as you won't be able to regardless. I don't have the time right now to test it thoroughly so will change my score to a neutral value and recommend buying with caution until I can play through it and I'll then update this review again. The game also got a new, much better icon and the loading screens so far seem a good 10x faster. Update - As of today, a patch came out that fixes at least the gamebreaking bug I've described below, so they at least haven't just Update - As of today, a patch came out that fixes at least the gamebreaking bug I've described below, so they at least haven't just abandoned the game.
