Sleeping Dogs

One of the finest open-world crime cities ever made, and one of the rare GTA clones that surpasses its inspiration. Flipping the formula, you play an undercover cop infiltrating the triads, set in a beautifully authentic recreation of Hong Kong that nails the vibe over literal accuracy. Sublime martial-arts combat, arcadey driving with a refined airjacking mechanic, and a compelling, gritty story. The remaster is widely available.

Average open-world sandbox with Hong Kong setting. Strong cinematic presentation and environmental kills. Combat feels sluggish, story is predictable.
