Sleeping Dogs played best in 2012 when you stuck to the narrative path, this still holds true. Though the open world aspects, after playing a game like the recent release of Shadow of Mordor, feel a little lacking and less alive than they had previously. While the combat takes some queues from other games, the ability to drag your enemies around the world and slam them into different parts of the environment makes each encounter feel like a choreographed fight scene from the movies. Beating enemies into a visible pulp is still, and will always be, entirely enjoyable. The brutal combat system which allows the hero to use martial arts, counters, and savage environmental finishers is still fun. The core gameplay of Sleeping Dogs hasn’t changed at all, and it really didn’t need to. Did it turn Sleeping Dogs into a next-gen game? Not really. So is this the “Definitive” Edition of the game? Well yeah, you can’t beat the price for all the content, and the visual enhancements do go a long way in improving the game. While nearly all of the environmental aspects of Sleeping Dogs looks better, has a higher level of detail, and generally looks sharper in 1080p, you just can’t help but see the game’s last-gen roots still showing. The game did seem to suffer from frame rate issues on the Xbox One, as it most certainly didn’t make it to 60 frames per second, and it seemed at many times like the game was struggling to consistently stay locked in at rate that wasn’t noticeably choppy. Enhanced Lighting and impressive weather effects, better draw distances and a more detailed world at large, make the open world of Hong Kong feel more alive than ever, for console players at least. On new gen console hardware the game looks mostly like what it did on the PC when it originally released.
