Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

i bought this game a few months ago after watching Jerma's videos on it, best purchase i've ever made

this GTA-LIKE game is jam-packed with interesting story missions, fun side quests and overall good gameplay mechanics. its quite long too.

Absolute gorgeous game, only remark I have is that the DLCs aren't so well done comparably but then again they are DLCs. You have a lot of upgrades, a lot of cars and outfits to choose from, varying activities like karaoke, fight clubs, even chicken fights. Recommend this game to anyone, very fun and has the best combat system I've ever witnessed.

This game is fantastic. A rich crime setting as in GTA, but it also adds a deep main character and an improved combat system. I can't believe I waited this long to play it. Join us for a massage, brother, you won't regret it.

As hyperbolic as the title may be, I think that Sleeping Dogs is one of the few open world games out there that may live up to the hype. Primarily due to a, not well-written but definitely strongly executed story. You've seen it about 1000 times before if you've ever watched a John Woo film. While it isn't particularly unique, it finds itself driven by a strong cast of characters performed by excellent actors that do exactly what they need to in this story. One of the lynchpins to Sleeping Dogs' success is its open world. Which is good because you're going to be driving around it a lot. There is no fast travel here which some may look as a negative but if you think about it, you're here for the journey, not the destination. Enjoy the ride. While there is a nice diversity of cars, you'll probably find yourself leaning towards the faster vehicles. Fortunately, most of them actually handle reasonably well, especially the motorbikes which allow for even more efficient travel across the map. My largest critique would likely be aimed towards the combat. While it serves as the primary driving force of gameplay here, the combat is probably the weakest aspect of Sleeping Dogs. There is a reasonably large variety of melee moves - and you will be using your fists for 90% of the runtime here - fights often find our hapless player mashing the punch button with the occasional counter and grapple thrown in to spice things up. Of course, the graphics probably are not what they used to be back in 2014, but if you're in the market for a game from 2014, something tells me that fidelity is not something you're particuarly worried about. That being said, it's probably not for everybody but I think that if you enjoy open world games, Hong Kong action flicks or Asian gangster movies, this will probably be up your alley. It is absolutely worth picking up, even at its regular price, but given how often it seems to go on discount, it's absolutely a bargain at any price on here.
