Flashing Lights is one of those games where you can see the vision, even if it sometimes trips over its own boots on the way there. The idea? Fantastic. The execution? A bit… interesting, in that early-access, “my siren just launched into the stratosphere” kind of way.

It’s janky, it’s occasionally hilarious (not always on purpose), and the UI feels like it came from a 2011 police simulator fan mod. But for all its quirks, it’s still fun. And that says a lot.

It’s early access, so I’m giving it grace. Here's hoping the dev keeps polishing it up, because there’s definitely something here.

7/10 — would respond to a traffic stop and get launched by a hydrant again.
