![]() ![]() As a result, the Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is much closer to the Saints Row series, especially 2011’s Saints Row: The Third, than ones named after a car crime. For instance, while this has you parkouring like Ezio from Assassin’s Creed II, the combat is way better than anything in that series (though Wei should really learn how to dodge). What makes the Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition stand out, though, is that it combines the good parts in ways other games do not. ![]() The driving? Well, okay, it’s very Grand Theft Auto-esque, in that you go three times faster than everyone else on the road. The free running? That has Assassin’s Creed written all over it. The combo-driven fist-fighting that has you being attacked from all sides? Straight out of Batman: Arkham City (well, if Bats wasn’t as acrobatic). Besides the well-tread premise, much of the gameplay is familiar as well. Oh, that reminds me, there’s this bridge in Brooklyn….Īdmittedly, Sleeping Dogs isn’t the most original game ever made. Which - as you know if you’ve ever watched the movies Infernal Affairs or The Departed - means that everything goes according to plan and everyone ends up happy and healthy and wise. Made both before and again by United Front Games, the Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition casts you as Wei Shen, an undercover cop in Hong Kong tasked with infiltrating a local crime syndicate. But while this new edition isn’t worth getting if you’ve already played the first edition, this engaging open-world action game is worth getting if you missed it before. Sadly, the former is what we’re getting once again with the Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition that’s being released by Square Enix on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Especially when you have ones like Metro Redux which vastly improved aspects of the original Metro games. United Front Games ultimately closed down in 2016.After the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, The Last Of Us Remastered, and others, it’s hard not to be tired of next-fen remakes that only spruce up the graphics and include the previously released add-ons. There was also an online-only spinoff called Triad Wars, but that was also canceled mid-production. Unfortunately, the planned sequel was scrapped. United Front Games did start work on a sequel, which was supposed to take place in China's Pearl River Delta. Sadly, there was never a full sequel to Sleeping Dogs. ![]() There's also Year of the Snake, which has Shen fighting a group of cultists. Another expansion, Zodiac Tournament, is about an illegal fighting tournament in the style of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. Shen uses his considerable skills to fight an army of Chinese vampires called jiangshi. The Nightmare in North Point expansion is horror-tinged, with a focus on Chinese folklore. Once you finish the primary story, there's still the additional missions and content in the expansions. That adventure will see the player preventing crimes, committing crimes, racing around the city, participating in martial arts-themed fight clubs, and even doing a little dating. The main story of Sleeping Dogs, detailing Wei Shen's journey through the Hong Kong underworld, will take most players around 15 to 20 hours to complete. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is the only version available on Steam there is a store page for the original on the Steam Store, but you can't purchase that version.
