Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

It feels like a much larger true crime streets of new york and I find that very comfy. the fighting system feels like a stripped down batman Arkham asylum game but that's not totally bad, I myself like it. The world is huge and vivid and feels alive. The characters are interesting., only about 3 hours in but love it so far.

Overall good game. Some quests are repetitive though.

I usually don't like open world games, but this one suprised me. Melee combat is great, driving reminded me of NFS Underground 2, super varied soundtrack, lots of interesting missions... and the story is fantastic, it never slows down and is suprisingly mature, its not going for the parody GTA style! It certainly has its weak points, like the enemy AI being dumb at times, the occasional bug (although they're mostly the funny physics kind, no game breaking ones) and I didn't really care about the whole undercover cop part. The world has a ton of character and comes together much better than most open world slop these days. I definitely recommend it!

If you are on open world junkie I'm sure this won't quite live up to the GTA fever dreams, if you need a rich open world full of wacky silly adventures... again, it will only slightly itch that need. If you want a badass adventure, with a straight forward but cut throat story with epic climaxes - come on in! I love this game like I love Missing In Action 3, it's just Real Deal Holyfield.

In a sea of GTA clones, this is a refreshing change. Its story reminisces The Departed. The dialogue is top notch (with great voice actors) and the fighting mechanics are fun as welll as very responsive. I never get tired of playing this game.
