Sleeping Dogs

Open world

As undercover cop Wei Shen, you infiltrate the Triads in a neon-lit Hong Kong, brawling through kung-fu-movie style melee with counters and brutal environmental takedowns, plus car chases. Its tale of torn loyalties between police and gang is the real hook.

Far Cry 3

Lavish presentation

An open tropical-island shooter where you liberate outposts by stealth or force, hunt wildlife to craft gear and grow your skills. It is anchored by a disturbing descent into madness and the unforgettable villain Vaas.

Mafia III

Open world

As Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, you wage a revenge war against the mob in 1968's New Bordeaux and divide conquered districts among your lieutenants. Its gripping, unflinching story about racism and its iconic period soundtrack shine, even if the missions get repetitive.

True Crime: Streets of LA

Open world

A GTA-style open-world action game where you play a rogue cop in a recreated Los Angeles, mixing gunplay, martial arts and driving chases. Failed missions lead to branching story paths.

The Getaway

Open world

A gritty gangster action game set in a faithfully recreated London, mixing third-person gunfights and car chases in a cinematic story inspired by British crime films.

Far Cry 4

Lavish presentation

An open-world shooter set in the fictional Himalayan nation of Kyrat, where you liberate outposts, ride elephants, and explore the mountains by wingsuit and gyrocopter. The charismatic despot Pagan Min and the choice between two morally murky rebel leaders drive the story.

Mafia II

Lavish presentation

A cinematic gangster saga set in postwar America, following Vito Scaletta's rise through the mob with cover shooting, period car chases and rich 1940s–50s atmosphere. Empire Bay is less a playground than a lovingly detailed backdrop for a tight, linear crime story.

True Crime: New York City

Open world

As a cop in a large recreation of New York, you shoot, brawl and drive through a crime story voiced by Hollywood actors. Playing as a straight or corrupt officer shifts missions and the story somewhat.
