From Steam reviews
Review notes
Police Stories is worth a closer look if you want great with friends, solo-friendly, controller friendly, and strong atmosphere.
Best for players who want strong atmosphere, pixel art, chaotic fun, and great with friends.
Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness and repetition or grind.

FitIt tends to be better when shared with friends.
solo-friendly
FitIt still makes sense as a solo play choice.
buggy
FrictionTechnical roughness or instability comes up often enough to check.
controller-friendly
FitController, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.

ToneThe mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.
stealth
Play styleAvoiding detection is part of the intended rhythm.
pixel-art
SettingThe visual language is pixel-led or deliberately retro.
chaotic-fun
ToneThe appeal is messy, funny, and unpredictable rather than polished calm.
Steam review snapshots
The online coop experience was pretty mediocre as we got multiple disconnects in our very short playtime.Also, don't even think about playing in local coop and/or with a controller.Stealth is absolutely meta in this game and going in guns blazing is simply never a viable option, and the game even…If the experience was this frustrating in co-op, i can't imagine how someone would end up doing in single player.Why it fits
A fit for players who like strong atmosphere, stealth, solo play, or co-op. It blends Action, Simulation, and Strategy with a weird tone and a strong atmospheric focus.
Who might skip it
Skip it if you want a polished, friction-free experience or dislike repetition and technical roughness.
