60 of 63 · most liked firstSad to say that it is the same as other products of this dev. Unoptimized, terrible controls and terrible voice acting. I would also like an option where i can select English text but German audio. Buy it? not in this state ( I'm afraid that the game will not change a lot.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game makes you clean up cow poop in the first mission. Sadly that was the most fun I had the whole time. I am going to stop playing now and going to play an escape room. Also, the fact that this is 30 dollars shows the publisher is completely out of touch with reality. The sim community deserves better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played the Game for ~20 minutes. No support for 3440x1440p, unstable camera, FPS drops/lags with an RTX 3080. In addition some little things are annoying, for example that only three pre-defined character models are available. My hope was that the developer used the release delays to improve the quality of the game, but that did not become true.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR For people who enjoy law and order sims: 8/10: With all of the updates, I believe that ABPS3 now has at least ten dollars worth of upgrades compared to it's predecessor. For every other type of gamer: 5/10: There's still erratic normal drivers, hilariously bad bleed-through, and people who drive without regards to police lights and sirens. At least the game has improved. For people who think character design is one of the best parts of a game: 1/10: We can't change our officer's looks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, The 16 minutes of gameplay was diabolical when I was in the car there was no siren sound, no engine sound and many more issues with the game. Absoultey disgusting how a game developer can release a game in this state they probably never even tested it prior to release. I got straight on to getting a refund. Before I even reconsider buying this game again it is in need of some serious fixing and how can they even charge £27 for this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game really needs some improvement to the driving and the camera/controls. It personally doesn't suit me and I will be asking for a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable. Way worse then emergency call 112. I should stop buying games from Aerosoft as I'm getting more and more disjointed with every new game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not ready at all!! Please for the love of All Police Games take it off steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG this game is the same old S**t as the other games . I was really really hoping this one was better. Bugs , POOR controls and NO wheel support. AVOID ! this one is yet another Abortion of a 'Simulator' from Aerosoft.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The ingame sounds are horrible and probably ripped from royalty free sound effect site. The car engine is very silent, while the indicators, sirens, etc. just scream right at you. it's just strange. You can basically just drive like a maniac without repercussions. Your car has almost perfect grip and it feels "weird" driving like that. When you crash, you just bounce away, like it's Mario Kart or something. The game feel like it's a late alpha and the trailer videos makes you think, you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I refunded the game personally after 30 minutes of play time. For a game that comes out in 2022, the graphics are bad, driving over 50kmh almost crashes your game even on medium settings and I have a 2080TI graphics card etc. The movement is just awful, the driving still feels pretty bad. If it was for sale for $5 I might consider it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its absolutely awful. Graphics are bad, story is bad, gameplay is bad. Now if this was $5 all the time, I would have different thoughts, but for $47, your wasting your money big time. Don't worry about it, save your money and get something else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wold like the game if the graphics did not suck so bad. 2,5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →he do da weewoo weewoo and then you smack into people at 200kph as an attempt of stopping them for a traffic stop but instead you smack them out of orbit into another galaxy to which he then starts new life on a newly discovered planet as he reinvents communication devices so he can contact earth to tell nasa that this one police officer smacked so hard into him that he found another habitable planet. would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't even know where to start with this crap.. just avoid it, please. My god.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not so much fun because of how the game stops and cuts to what you are doing. Like if you pull someone over - the game will auto load you on the side of the road with that car. It creates "stops" in the gameplay that I am not a fan of. The devs need to figure out how other police games don't do that and then this would be a better game. Driving mechanics are... weird. Not very realistic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why Police Simulators seem to be so hard to get decently right. The LSPDFR mod series for GTAV seems to still do it best, but modding in GTAV is an unrewarding experience. APS 3 gets a thumbs down from me mostly because it seems to fail to offer substantial improvements over its predecessor. Character models and animations are still weird. Driving controls are still terrible. Performance is choppy. The things you appear to be able to unlock hint at a complexity that looks likely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes? Yes! Car Crashes that cause PC Crashes? Also Yes! Just PC Crashes? Yes! Yes? Yes! It's ♥♥♥♥ as expected.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's working like rubbish, everything i do just keeps stuttering, tried on 2 modern pc and the game need so work to do , definitely the most buggy game that i played , if someone sees this comment what's happening in your firm ? this game like it's running don't deserve 2e let alone 30 , waiting for more than a month for update for seems that we are not gonna see it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decided to give this a chance after the mess #2 was. Really wish i didn't. Terrible graphics, poor optimisation, incredibly boring game play. Practically the same as the last one. Trust all the other views (like i didn't) and don't waste your time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would love to see this game polished and optimized! Car physics are nowhere near what they should be.... mix this game idea, with the way Need for speed works while driving, and u got the perfect game! For now.... Waste of money, not worth it atm, unpolished, not finished, laggy, bugs, physics are FAAR of, so driving doesn't work well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decided to wait and hope that most issues were ironed out so I bit the bullet and controls feel iffy, the actual camera for both the character and vehicle feel horrible and difficult to use. The game feels undeveloped and underwhelming. The story line has kind of has no real meaning and doesn't feel exciting the sounds glitch out from time to time glitches happening with missions such as keeping crashed vehicles in mid air. The pull over mechanics are well interesting even including arriving on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kind of disappointed, I felt as though the game isn't as polished as the 2nd one. It did not feel right.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been told a few times by the game that an arrest was unjustified. Now, in normal circumstances it would be right, however these arrests were made because of illicit drugs found in the vehicle. Unsure if there's a way to attach photos, so here's a link to a screenshot I took: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1160341009541103736/1203919956694007838/image.png?ex=65d2d8d5&is=65c063d5&hm=8511528a6110f95bbb512789229eaaa3bac8af3a598ca59fc21ad097184a0a03&
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks alright, maybe a little dated, but I have two major issues with it: 1. Stuttering, stuttering, stuttering. The game runs at over a 100fps but will stutter quite a bit. It doesn't matter if you are driving slow or fast, it will stutter. 2. The driving. It's not good. I play on an controller and the steering is still very twitchy. Going on the Autobahn on-and off ramps is difficult even if you are driving the posted speed limit. Then some smaller issues: 1. When you pull someone…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend it, it's boring and poorly made (graphics, controller...)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game. The developers deserve high praise for this unique realistic highway police simulator (the only one on the market apart from Autobahn 1 and 2, as far as I'm aware). If you're looking for a driving game or for a shooting game, obviously this is not for you. But if you are interested in the more varied experience of being on patrol duty on European highways this is the game for you. I say 'European' because although this is set in Germany, the police experience you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping to find improved game play for this version but it feels exactly the same as APS2. Other than that there's some new cool missions and functionalities. Keep progressing and I hope to find some new feelings someday! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not the best game in the world (e.g. the driving quality is terrible) but I like it. (This is a very controversial review isnt it?)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is... weird? I mean it has its ups and downs, but currently I cannot approve of it. It needs updates, and actually a lot of things. It has a decent car variety, but the graphics are mediocre at best, and for 30 euro, it lacks a lot. Optimization doesn't exist, and it has many bugs. Updates were promised, but the only ones we've gotten are DLC's. Summary: don't buy it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very good if you like police things: chases, car crashes etc. But there are still few things that would be best to change. For example, if you want to stop some car, it will transfer you to some nearby parking lot with no animation and not right on the spot or at the nearest exit like in the real life. And when you stop some car, you only check 3 things in documents (name, car owner and type of driving licence). It would be awesome to also check if the registration number of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the price
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayble.. I start greating a new game the game goes into loading screen and thats it.. tried running it in and after what long time still in loading screen. So I cannot say if its good or not but to me as its unplayable and have had no similar issue with any other game ever I must leave bad review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are even remotely thinking about buying this game, DO NOT. (Aerosoft please stop publishing rubbish.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I'm being honest, the previous game wasn't that great in quality. However, I greatly enjoyed myself playing that game and had hopes that this game would be exactly the same or better. This game was really a pretty big let down. The visual quality is absolutely atrocious and honestly looks worse than the first game did, which is pretty bad especially considering how good Unity games generally look. The character models especially look terrible. Many people complained about the models in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for a bit but after the 10th collision it gets old. Most of the major events are very repetitive and aren't fun the first time. Steer clear.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Refunded the game within an hour , when u put your lights on the whole screen flashes black , turn them off and it stops , totally unplayable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game,Nice project. I liked the controls even though the game and specifically the driving feels really weird. BUT i cannot forgive the fact that THIS game raises my CPU temperature to 85C ! You need to fix that ASAP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, walking looks a bit odd but the story and adventure is enjoyable to play. Lots of interesting things to do as a Polizei.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So disappointing... Game glitches like crazy. I tried so many resolutions and it always glitches. Second big problem is that I cannot change the frame rate to 60Hz..On every single resolution it puts it automaticly to 240Hz. The game itself might be fun but you need to fix this glitches and frame rate.. and no problem is definitely not in my computer. I can play Watchdogs Legion on Full HD on highest setting for example without lagging. like i dont believe it's that hard to fix this game..…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games funded by Governments are so funny. We have: Dark Year's from an Iranian Gamesstudio (2015), Autobahn Police Simulator 3 from Germany (2022), Dustborn from a Norwegian Studio (2024) and Mixtape from Australia (2026). Dark Year and Autobahn Police Simulator 3 are ugly and broken,

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Though, this has nothing on Autobahn Police Simulator 3, which somehow manages to both make its incredibly janky driving part of the core gameplay, and making it so any stop encounter results in you teleporting to a instanced location rather than executing the stop manoeuvre yourself.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God awful bugs & lags, literally unplayable. Tried on two different PC's and had the same issue. I was really looking forward to trying this game but couldn't even do the first mission.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a very good game and its very fun to play when your bored
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just started playing and it Seems like it could be great game, however it really needs more steam deck support. game play is buggy and sound doesn't work properly on the deck. i hope his has continued development and support on steam deck.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Iwil buy it soon nice game more realistic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good and enjoyable game, One of my fave parts is when the two officers talk in the car it ads a bit of humour to the game and also the fact that the game actually runs properly and doesn't break every 5 mins compared to another police game. It could maybe have some more options in the vehicle crash scene like being able to tow the cars and actually ID and Breathalyse the civs, The DLC's are very fun and worth it in my opinion, Would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes police…
