Sleeping Dogs

its good.

GTA-like but combat-based (Arkham Games Counter Style) with a good story and a great atmosphere. Hong Kong, especially at night and in the rain, looks and feels great. You play an undercover cop who infiltrates a gang, enjoying missions and gameplay as both a cop and a gangster. Well written characters, some really nice game mechanics. Runs great on Deck.

What a ride!

Unplayable with controller

An amazing 2012 game which surely holds up to this day. Enjoyable story, amazing combat and atmospheric gameplay. Makes you feel like you are in a John Woo film (which obviously influenced the development heavily). The voice acting is superb and as far as I can tell most actors are actually stars in their respective fields. One negative aspect of it was the driving that feels very clumsy and cartooney. Also, the gun play is kind of limited. Seems like it was the intention of the developers to make guns something that did not occur every time, focusing more on traditional melee fighting. As such, gunplay is limited 99% of the time to special missions. Another negative aspect is the very unworthiness of the skills system. Basically your upgrades do not affect gameplay at all. Overall: 8/10 solid. Worthy buy if you are into open world games.

A cult classic. Highly overlooked open world beat 'em up.
