Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition (2014) (Linux/Wine)
Considering how little time I have and how carefully I choose how I spend it recently, the 26 hours spent in this world speak for themselves. I've tried the game, just because it looked interesting and GOG offered great release discount. I wasn't sure what to expect. And it was incredible surprise. There's so much to like in this game:
a) decent story with some plot twists and tension,
b) great characters you love or hate,
c) variety of missions and side quests,
d) variety of gameplay (street races, some parkour, stealth, fights),
e) music!
f) unique atmosphere of dark side of Hong Kong.
What I didn't liked:
a) those shining collectibles, which kill immersion IMO,
b) some minor bugs and even a side quest which cannot be completed,
c) police jobs are a bit repetitive and, again, they kill immersion as they're against main story (a whole idea of being undercover cop).
The game runs very well under Linux/Wine/DXVK and looks stunning for a retro gamer like me ;)
