What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
You play as Wei Shen, an undercover cop walking the thin line between loyalty and corruption, and the story is surprisingly engaging from start to finish.
Like the collectibles the game has collectibles around the open world map health shrines that increase you're health jade statues used to learn new martial arts and hidden lockboxes containing loot like money or weapons.
Sleeping Dogs fits well into this line of publishing because it's a fantastic narrative, with solid gameplay, and it secretly belongs to its own franchise in True Crime.
The Definitive Edition adds improved visuals, all DLCs, and slightly better performance, although it’s not flawless.
✅Brilliant soundtrack perfectly fitting the city of Hong Kong
But at least it played at a locked 60 FPS on high settings on the Steam Deck.
