First, I recommend you play this game for the journey it offers along the way, but not the ending. The endings left much to desire and are forgetful, predictable, cliche, or all of the above.

The story will give you some interesting perspective regarding choice, friendship, bullying, family, death of thise close to you, and willingness to accept things that you can't... or shouldn't be able to... change. This game is totally worth playing for the emotional charge it offers and you may even experience a little self discovery upon reflection.

As is standard with "choice" based games these days, at the end of each episode you will be faced with a screen notating the percentage of players that made each decision the game throws at you. I must say, some of them were surprising and alarming.

And that soundtrack is just beautiful.

Oh wow, that sound. I thought it had been forgotten.

This was quite fascinating.

I have not played the multiplayer recently, it's been quite some years since I last played. I recently began and completed the single player campaign so this is only based on that. From what I could tell, there were about 50 or so players active on all servers combined each time I checked.

As for the campaign, it is rather quite funny at moments, but not to the degree many people would have you believe. Perhaps time just hasn't aged this game as well. Anyway, the story itself is interesting enough and the gameplay is enjoyable. I think that the fun factor has something to do with the nastalgia that I felt for this series. A new player may not find much interest in this. Nonetheless, it's worth a play through.

This game does not even run. It looks terrible anyway.

At this point, many people if not most will buy this game with the intention of modding it. Unfortunately, Valve and Bethesda have decided to monetize what used to be a finer point of PC gaming. Don't buy this game if you expected free mods. Such a shame.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I've been playing since the Operation Flashpoint days. Each iteration is just better and better. Arma 3 doesn't have the best AI, but that is hardly a pitfall when considering the scale of battles, ability to engage in combined ops, great community and mods, fantastic developers who tend to and maintain their games, and overall an endless supply of great game time.

In <3 with Arma.

Loved this game. It seems that it is relatively underated, but it is definitely a must-play in my opinion.

Pros
-Gorgeous visuals
-Fully realized world
-Very fun combat
-Great voice acting
-Compelling story

Cons
-Vehicle handling could use some work
-Vehicle models are not as visually attractive, though they are still decent
-Some inconsistencies exist: our protagonist is a "good" cop, but there are plenty of oppurtunities that make him a bad cop. Also, The story leads you to feel like you are turning in to a gangster, and leaving behind your cop mindset, yet this is not correct, you are a cop through-and-through.
-The girlfriend part of the game is stupid and pointless. They aren't necessary, and they feel out of place. The protagonist is supposedly good and perhaps even a practioner of chivalry, yet you have the option to be a "player" and date multiple girls. I did not participate in this portion of the game, as it's out-of-place and out-of-character.

This game is totally worth playing. It's not perfect by any means, and I wouldn't even compare it to GTA; it is a different playstyle, whereas GTA is a free-for-all satirical look at society, Sleeping Dogs is a cinematic take on Chinese gang-cop mentality, and it will really make you feel like you're in the mix of it.

First off, this is a difficult game to review. In fact, it is difficult for me to recommend this at all. The story is short and dull, the voice acting is absolutely atrocious, there are extremely frustrating issues ocassionally, but ultimately it is a complete game.

With that, I would only recommend this game in the event of a massive sale. MASSIVE sale.

The visuals are pretty, the story had potential, the game world is somewhat authentic, but dear akatosh, that voice acting. If you do buy this game, consider playing without audio; the dialog is terrible, the voice acting is sad(which is unfortunate, as it seemed the cast really tried). I found myself excited to finish the game, so that I could play something else. I'm the type that has to finish a game before I begin something else, and this was a struggle for me.

It appears that others really like this game, so there must be something here but it certainly isn't for me.

Deadlight is a complete game; story, sound, visuals, minor mechanics, etc. However, it never really pulled me in.

A short but worthy ride.

What Telltale has created here is something special. The level of attachment to characters has increased manyfold. I loved season 1, and season 2 has only solidified my love for this series.
