A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man

Everyone : 'Cyberpunk 2077 Review'

Colourshed : 'Sleeping Dogs Review'

[mattslifka]

14:36 always found it hilarious how Wei would just casually break students' legs and smash their faces in for 'training'

[wesleybhramadu]

It's kinda sad this game didn't recieve much love, i would love to see a Sleeping Dogs 2

R.I.P Sleeping Dogs 😔

[MrLemmanz]

I feel bad for this game not having a sequel, its a really underrated gem, super fun game, i enjoyed a lot more than gta v for sure.

[rustymcbadbat]

The flying jump kick in this game has to be one of the best animated, most satisfying attacks in video game history

[ravageduckmanguy]

I love how this game explores the "undercover cop caught between two worlds" scenario without resorting to boring clichés. Instead of being about Wei having contrived moral dilemmas it shows him as capable of leading the double life and explores the mental cost of doing so. It's even reflected in the gameplay with having cop and triad XP be independent of each other.

[Hyper_Gogeta]

One of the best games I've ever played. Seriously underrated.

[j.marston]

The pork buns in this game are wei too good.

[bricktop.]

If this game came out now with updated visuals, with cyberpunk being complete arse for the moment, and no GTA 6 on the horizon, it would be massive I'm sure. Great game.

[MikoyanGurevichMiG]

This game actually made me fall in love with Cantonese culture, especially the songs, soundtrack, general vibe of the city as well as the language being such a prominent part of it. The immersion into Hong Kong was so impressive and believable for its time

[jjdane]

Thank goodness you reviewed this game! Missing Sleeping Dogs would've been a True Crime.

[Sammmmmmmm]

This game is honestly one of my favorites from that generation.

[akhonankosi]

Also Sleeping Dogs is criminally underrated

[WW-fnrt]

One of the most overlooked and underrated games of all time.

[lucasZr]

Man I loved going to the fight rings in this games

[OnTheLeftHandSide]

As a Hong Konger, I truly want to thank the researchers for all the details in this game. It gives a immersive experience of Hong Kong to the players. I am glad the vibrant and free part of Hong Kong is brilliantly captured in this game.

[Lazer-bplf]

The game which we all thought was gonna be shit and another "GTA Clone" but turned out to be something good and extremely underrated.






*This game was wei better than I expected.*

[talpatv]

This game has it all, i can't understant why it's so underrated. It's even more underrated than max payne 3, Jesus
