Sleeping Dogs lets you play as Wei Shen, an American-Chinese police officer who has returned to Hong Kong in order to go deep undercover and infiltrate the Triads in order to try and bring down their criminal organisation. Couple that with the fact that Sleeping Dogs in its original incarnation was an extremely solid game and you have a gaming experience that looks and plays superbly. Despite the limitations presented by being yet another remastered title rather than a true current gen experience, the simple truth of the matter is that, with most titles available for PS4 and XBOX One generally also being remasters, being designed for last generation hardware isn’t as much as a handicap as it may become in the future.

Now Sleeping Dogs has made the leap to current generation consoles with a new coat of polish and all 24 DLC included with this definitive edition but does it still have what it takes to make an impression in this current gaming climate?

Format: PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PCīeginning life as an intended sequel in the open world True Crime series before being unceremoniously cancelled, S leeping Dogs was subsequently revived by Square Enix and crafted into a new intellectual property that, despite being criminally overlooked in some quarters, made for an action/adventure open world experience that could sit comfortably amongst peers such as Just Cause 2 and the Grand Theft Auto series.
