Part visual novel, part QTE reflex test, and part resource management game, I never expected to love Dispatch as much as I do. In fact, I slept on it for the first three months of its life. But December 5, 2025, marks the day I finally gave it a shot – and I've not used my Steam Deck for anything else since.
That's weird, because Dispatch isn't the kind of game I would have picked out for myself on a whim. I chalk it up to the decidedly police-sounding title and accompanying Steam banner – showing two dudes peeing at a urinal – not doing the best job of telling me what the game is about. Who'd have guessed that hiding behind the "superhero workplace comedy" funnies was precisely the weird and wacky formula I needed to break me out of a weeks-long gaming slump?
