There are a lot of fantastic video games that for whatever reason may have flown under our radar to then be forgotten in time and one game that perhaps fits into that category isSleeping Dogs.
Check out the Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition trailer below!
On theaggregate websiteMetacritic, the original version ofSleeping Dogsscored a very respectable 80, while theDefinitive Editionscored slightly less with 77. In a nutshell,Sleeping Dogscan be described as a martial arts-inspiredGrand Theft Autoset in Hong Kong. The game is fantastic and I wholeheartedly recommend it, even though Square Enix never deemed it sequel-worthy.

“This game should have had a sequel. I don’t know why Square Enix hadn’t done it” replied a begrudging herewego199209. “I have no idea how this game failed when it’s hard to find someone who didn’t replay it and harder still to find someone who disliked it,” said a bemused Thorn-of-your-side.
“It was one of the few games that captured the Hong Kong atmosphere instead of it just being a backdrop for the story,” explained EnamoredAlpaca. “The writing was very good and it had just the right amount of comedy.” As you can imagine, much of the Reddit thread shares a similar sentiment.
