 Sleeping Dogs is an open-world action-adventure game set in the vibrant, dangerous world of Hong Kong’s criminal underworld. Players take on the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop tasked with infiltrating the notorious Sun On Yee Triad. The game combines brutal hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, car chases, and exploration of the open-world city. The storyline weaves through both police procedurals and gang warfare, offering a deep narrative with multiple ways to approach missions and side activities. Its martial arts combat system was one of the highlights, taking inspiration from classic action films.
