Is the fan translation for pic-related worth playing?

Nah, learn Japanese.

That was unexpected.

The only true experience is only inside the mind of the original creator, things such as language just filter out his original intentions.

Depends entirely on the game. In this instance it's probably true but anyone learning Japanese to play a Mario or Zelda game is wasting their time.

Video games aren't really about language so quite often translations are fine as they allow you to experience the mechanics of the game without struggling with a foreign language. It's not like reading a translation of a novel or a poem. There's plenty in a video game that doesn't require translation.

Would you recommend someone never play the game at all over playing the translation?

God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.

Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.

It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.

Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.

I probably won't learn Japanese at any time soon so I was just wondering the translation is bad enough that it actually ruins the game. If not I might just give it a go in English.

As far as I remember the translation was praised all around when it came out, so I wouldn't worry about it.

All visual novels from the 90's are like this.
