      It’s a game that you liked that most people didn’t, Sleeping Dogs was very well received so I don’t think it qualifies.

      Didn’t most people that played it like it? I thought it was mostly a marketing failure.

      Personally I didn’t love it but it was a solid enough like 7-7.5/10 GTA clone to turn your brain off and enjoy if you’re in the mood for that kind of thing.

        At least none of the people I personally knew played it wanted to play it. Might be due to the marking though. I really enjoyed it, it played like GTA with fighting mechanics similar to Batman Arkham Asylum etc and I also thought the story was pretty neat

          I thought the concept of the story was neat, but it had a little too much ludonarrative dissonance for me in the end. Hard to keep up suspension of disbelief that you’re a cop when the game should logically end with the protagonist getting drawn and quartered for committing domestic terrorism.

          But like I said, as a brain-off GTA clone it’s a fine playthrough if you’re in the mood for it. The fighting was pretty fun and the game has good pacing and isn’t too long either, so it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
