I’ve been struggling to determine how, exactly, I want to talk aboutCentum. Not in terms of basic stuff, like genre or developer or “it plays like X meets Y.” Those are fairly easy to tack down. No, it’s the next layer down that has had me thinking a lot aboutCentumsince I hit the end of its preview build: the how and why.

I’m really glad that Square Enix picked up United Front Games’Sleeping Dogsafter Activision dropped the project (back when it was calledTrue Crime: Hong Kong).Hamza’s write-upof the hard-boiled open-world crime thriller made it sound impressive, and this trailer contains enough familiar genre tropes — including a bit of the ol’ Triad ultraviolence — to get my blood flowing. Hopefully not out of my body, though, since that looks pretty unpleasant when it’s happening to protagonist Wei Shen at the start of the trailer....
