Sleeping Dogs You could probably count the amount of times you€™ve chosen to use just your fists in combat over a gun in GTA on one hand. Hell, you might not even need the one hand. Hand to hand combat in GTA is just terrible. It€™s sluggish, slow and unwieldily making you look like you have the fighting skills of an inanimate rod rather than a martial arts master. Sleeping Dogs changed that by putting the focus solely on unarmed combat and crafting it in a way that is interesting and enjoyable to use. That said it does take more than a few cues from the Arkham series of games but truthfully thats only a good thing. In fact when you do finally come to use a gun, it all seems a bit less fun in comparison.
