...and you should wake 'em up because this game has a deep fighting system, variety of missions, intense story, crazy gun fighting, and collectibles that do not feel like a chore. People would call this *another* GTA clone, but they are (mostly) wrong. This game is focused on melee fighting. Guns are present here, but you will not keep them for a long time. You can upgrade your skills and face (how people respect you, higher means better perks) and learn new moves. Here, you have two XP meters with different perks, Triad XP, and Police XP. Optimally, you want to balance yourself being a cop and a Sun On Yee member, meaning that in missions, recklessness is discouraged. Hitting civilians, damaging properties, and stealing cars will lower your Cop XP. You don't even have to steal cars because you can buy cars and keep them in a parking lot. These systems alone differentiate Sleeping Dogs from other open-world games. I feel like this game could be more polished due to how many times I have witnessed enemies and allies walking and running in place unaware of obstacles in front of them and broken ragdoll physics. Despite that, I am glad I bought this. I feel like you should experience this also. I got this game for three dollars on sale. For a game this big, I am basically stealing from these people, and the DRM-less part of GOG is a cherry on top.
