Two older games in one package that still hold up today

My Recommendation for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

Not worth it if you already played the original Sleeping Dogs

Great story that deals with plenty of gray moral issues

Unpolished

The Definitive Edition has all of the DLC included in one package

Feels too similar to other sandbox open world games

Well-implemented hand-to-hand combat with cool environmental finishing moves
