Hotline Miami

Great game, can get frustrating in parts but overall its a solid action game-love the masks.

It's ugly, it's badly executed, it's unfair. The story (?) is ridiculous. "Music" is repetitive and annoying. It is not hard in a good way, it's hard because its implementation is crap. Movement is crap. Targeting is crap, Enemy behavior is crap. Hitting somebody or getting hit is merely luck. you can shoot three times with a pump gun in a guy's face and he still kills you with bare hands. Enemies suddenly accelerate and are generally faster than you and see you from far beyond the screen. Well, I still played it a few chapters. Even behind what must be the worst boss fight in gaming history (prank caller). However then it got even worse. Indestructible SWAT guys and instant kills by invisible snipers are exactly the opposite of proper game design. At that point I already decided to stop playing, yet later decided to give it another try since everybody else can't be wrong. Just to learn that this crap excuse for a game let's you respawn right between two indestructible SWAT guys. Respawn -> Dead. Forever. No sorry, but everybody can be wrong. This would have been a bad game even by standards of the 80s and it's just a bad joke in the 21st century. Playing it is pure pain and why should I waste my precious time with self inflicted pain?

I don't rate this game, because I've hardly played it - it simply crashes after a few minutes of playing and turns off completely (I use new PC with Windows 11 installed). I know it cost just few złotys and this defect may be removed manually, but I'm horrible at computers and when I buy a game I just want to play it wihout having to do anything else. On the plus side, GOG refunded me immediately. P.S. The same applies to the Steam version.

I first played this game at a games exhibition in Brighton last August. Out of triple A games and other indie titles, this one was the most captivating. It is a frenetic, twitchy, tough journey into man's primal desires. A balm for the soul. An 80s psychedelic trip.

I bought this game from steam sale and now purchased it from GOG sale, just to have it on all my computers at the same time! Cant recommend this enough, one of the best games i have played in a long time.
