Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is free right now on XBL. I didn't play it back when it came out. I think it was one of those games I said "I'll get to that one later". I'm having a lot of fun with it - I'm a little bit past the wedding right now. Similar to the complaints I hear about Watch Dogs 2, I kinda wish shooting was optional here, because Wei (in cut scenes and gameplay) avoids killing in the first few hours then when you get a gun it becomes a little bit like Stranglehold/Max Payne. He is a cop with an edge - not an optimistic young adult like in Watch Dogs 2, but there is a bit of disconnect there. It's nice that you're fighting a bunch of guys at once, but it doesn't feeling like it's ripping of Batman like Shadow of Mordor and others have done. It sometimes has a sense of humor without going crazy to Saints Row levels. The characters and seeing a different culture/setting is cool too.
I think I remember hearing that this game and Tomb Raider didn't sell well, but that did get a sequel, any shot for Sleeping Dogs 2?
