There was talk of a sequel shortly after the release, but they scrapped the idea later the same year, then started working on a spin-off, which got canceled shortly before the dev shut down. A Sleeping Dogs movie is in the works, though, with Donnie Yen playing the main character. If that is well received, there may yet be a sequel.

@@SapphireDragon357 I would say (and I feel this is widely accepted) that I can genuinely praise KoA for it's unique, well made level-up system. They sort of flipped where, instead of choosing a class getting certain skills and abilities, you would choose skills and abilities to unlock certain classes and those classes gave you different bonuses. Level up systems have largely stayed the same for decades because "why fix what isnt broken?" But I can still appreciate KoA for mixing it up a little. Unfortunately, THAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE GAME. It had very colorful and stylized graphics, the story was rather interesting, and the fate weaving ability was pretty cool, but most of all, I just liked how customizable your character was.

Dang, that takes me back. The main thing I remember about the game was the time I played a necromancer, killed I think the dorf king, and got the relevant plot details from his ghost. Kinda tempted to try playing it again, but not sure how well it holds up to time. Also an ended that actually cared about the choices you made! Sided with a crime boss in a city? Find out what consequences that had! One main issue I remember is a cave nearish the start with a near impossible to beat golem thing in the way. Hard to just run past, and could one hit kill most characters at that point.

[@ApMignonne]

@@aaronstead2361 If you enjoy retro, it's still playable! Do install the "Unofficial Arcanum patch" from Terra Arcana (some private person who calls themselves Drog Black Tooth and who's been around four ages). It's reliable and really does fix game-breaking bugs without adding anything you wouldn't like. I think that exact golem stopped me on my first attempt at a play-through. My technodwarf could deal with it using an insane amount of bombs, and I think magic can do the trick, but for some characters it might need some leveling up before you venture through the mines.

Ots neither its True crimes thats its on series

Ah yeah, Jade Empire was a banger. The only game I ever bought for a game console I never owned. My roommate at the time owned an Xbox and I bought Jade Empire and borrowed his Xbox when he'd let me.

[@bryonyperecat5954]

We bought an Xbox because of Jade Empire.

+ for Jade Empire! Even a remake, updating the controls and graphics. Jade Empire was a favorite RPG for me at that time. I would really enjoy adding some more combat styles as well.

[@wardrecaridius3740]

Brute Force for the original XBOX, maybe I just played it so much as a kid, but the mechanic of being literal clones who collect their own DNA for cash after dying was always pretty cool to me. That and unlocking new species to play as by collecting their DNA was sweet.

[@JimAirborne25]

I still haven’t completed Alien: Isolation, but would love a sequel! With the number of digital copies and physical copies that have been sold since it’s release, it SHOULD garner some attention toward a sequel. The game is frustrating, but so well done!

[@zulubunsen9067]

@@tomread8748 I can attest that it is great. But it's not a sequel. On a spoilery side note though, Alyx does tease a continuation to Gordon Freeman's adventures, but we're still talking about Valve here. Even with some of their newfound momentum it will take time.

How about Force Unleashed 3? Final boss fight would be against Dark Side Starkiller wielding one, ragged cleanly lined and blue lightsaber while Light Side Starkiller would wield two ragged-looking red lightsabers. Complete inversion of regular color dynamic with Dark Side being focused and calculating while Light Side is passionate and distracted.

What about Aquaria? Sure, it's not very well known, but the beautiful under water world, song-based magic system and great story should really get a sequel.

Pacman 2 is amazing!! "Look! Look!" I have so many fond memories of that game, it was essentially a point and click adventure, that let you fight every once in a while to eat ghosts.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

The funny thing about that is Ms. Pacman IS the sequel! And it's often accounted as better than the original. Pacman 2 is just the victim of bad naming conventions.

[@user-je9qp4hc9p]

Small correction, Those things in Sleeping Dogs DLC Nightmare in North Point are Chinese version of Zombies/reanimated corpse, or more literally "stiff corpse", I have no idea why some of the translation works translated their as "vampires". Specially consider as lore goes, they do very closely resemble western zombies.

[@pauliosantos6379]

"Albion" by Blue Byte, if not a sequel this should have been remade, someone was working on it many moons ago :(, what an absolute gem of a game, the ONLY thing i remember despising, was the EXP/Level locks in place until you had advanced further in the storyline. If you haven't played it, play it!

[@majesticbbqsauce727]

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy deserves a sequel for sure. It was rushed due to THQ having to get it out before they went bankrupt, but it is still a good game and rhe parts that got handcrafted were beautiful and deserve a play even today. Hopefully THQ Nordic will continue doing what they have been doing after getting THQ's licenses, which is making sequels to old games.

I remember pushing my luck in Bully to see just how punishing the mowing punishments would get, and subsequently regretting every decision I'd made in life leading up to that moment, because suddenly you're forced into mowing a full size school football field.
