Having played this game already on the xBox 360 nearly a decade ago, revisiting it felt special, but also simultaneously, it didn’t live up to the memory of it.
I think having learned a lot more of game design and narrative now, the game falls short of the games I’ve experienced in the present day.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing! For it’s time, Sleeping Dogs is an incredible game. Just that today’s generation of games kicks it to the shin, and that’s great for gaming!
Moments of poor exposition here and there, poor dialogue, and a basic combat system undershadowed the interesting storyline, mostly developed characters, and kickass score.
Also the climax just failed for me.
All in all, love Jackie Ma and this game!
The story is good, it keeps you hooked with undercover tension and betrayals.
Hong Kong is alive in a way few game worlds are. It’s not about size, it’s about soul. Rain-slick streets reflect the glow of neon signs, the air thick with the chatter of market vendors and the distant roar of cars. It’s a city that feels real, even when it’s just pixels and code.
Driving is arcade-like and it's fun, with the ability to ram other cars, making chases and street races feel exciting.
Time moves on, but Sleeping Dogs doesn’t fade. It lingers, like a memory you can’t shake. One of the best open-world crime stories ever told, and it never got the sequel it deserved.
