Definitely worth the money!!!!!
This game literally gives me Rush Hour (a movie starring Jackie Chan)
The gameplay is cool. You can't find these at GTA5: You can make a NPC a hostage while having a gun with you and use them as a shield and stuff. You can hijack a car while driving a car. I know this makes no sense but I will explain. While driving a car, u can jump to another car and hijack the car that you jumped on. You can put a NPC in the trunk of car. You can plant bugs, lock picks, hack cameras, bust drug deals, date upto 5 girlfriends, cock fighting, offer help to NPC's and sing karaoke.
The story is so good with a lot of interesting twists and some sad moments.
The combat is awesome. There are a lot of fighting moves and combos. It is like a fighting game but it's third-person instead of sideways.
The missions are interesting and they aren't boring. Also you might not interact with NPC's as much as GTA but the NPC's are way too intelligent than GTA5. I didn't play definitive edition as I have a low end pc. And remember, sleeping dogs released in 2012 and GTA 5 was released at 2013 and still sleeping dogs have intelligent NPC's. There are foot chases that are so good to play.
The only thing I hate about sleeping dogs is that the camera when you move the mouse isn't good. Also the when aiming guns, the movement is so fast and when not having the gun, it moves so slow.
