If Sleeping Dogs worked for you because of strong narrative focus, single-player focus and a third-person camera, the same is here. Its own ground is a sci-fi setting.

On paper it is what Sleeping Dogs is — strong narrative focus, melee combat and single-player focus — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. Both also lean on a third-person camera. The distance is in combat and visuals — its own ground is stealth mechanics and a first-person view.

It predates Sleeping Dogs by 8 years, with what that implies technically.

Genre puts it alongside Sleeping Dogs, and so does exploration and discovery, strong narrative focus, and single-player focus. To that it adds a third-person camera. They part company on tone and progression: this one brings dark, oppressive atmosphere.

Released 11 years after Sleeping Dogs.
