You get loads of new mission content for the main game and plenty of cosmetic bits and pieces, but the real meat are the three story packs accessible straight from the main menu. Is the included DLC any good?If, like me, you played the main campaign but didn’t bother with any of the DLC, the Definitive Edition includes it all, and some is more worthwhile than the rest. Again, not something that should be present in a port across from older consoles.
The draw distance may be improved, but there’s plenty of pop in on object detail, making traveling at speed quite the eye sore at times. The stuttering is most apparent when driving, and is something the dev team should have ironed out. The fog looks great when it’s used, and the new breakables add to the level of destruction during the many exciting melee fights, but for an Xbox 360/PS3 game running on new hardware, the fluctuating frame rate just isn’t good enough. Driving through the neon city, especially in the wet at night, looks great on new-gen and PC, but a Tomb Raider-level improvement this is not.Īnyone picking up this Definitive Edition having already played a lot of the game on last gen may well struggle to notice the improvements unless a direct comparison is carried out. It looks good on paper, but in reality these improvements seem rather minor.

Back when Sleeping Dogs was the project Square Enix rescued from Activision’s dumpster, the final game turned out to be a very nice surprise. You can check out our original review from 2012 here, in which the strengths of the core game are discussed.

Sleeping dogs definitive edition review 1080p#
If you want a version of the 2012 Square Enix game with all DLC content and spruced up 1080p (or higher on PC) visuals, that’s exactly what you’ll get. As far as titles go, “Sleeping Dogs: The Definitive Edition” is rather questionable – at least on consoles.
