Welcome to Sharpwood is described as a "tragicomic, panoramic audio-visual painting." It certainly lives up to that with its haunting soundtrack, as the camera scrolls along through images of the town's cops and criminals, engaged in all manner of shady dealings.

This is The Police 2 has a similar premise to its predecessor. Players have to run the sheriff's department, manage their force, take part in investigations and interrogations, all the while trying to earn a living and stay out of jail themselves.

The new sheriff in town, Lilly Reed, already has enough on her plate attempting to deal with unruly subordinates who aren't used to taking orders from a young woman, but everything changes when a mysterious stranger, known as Warren Nash, appears in Sharpwood with unknown motives.

This is The Police 2 launches 2 August on PC, Mac and Linux, and will be heading to Xbox One, PS4 and Switch later this year.
