I’ve been playing Hotline Miami since it came out in 2012. Every couple of years I install it again, do another playthrough, and it just never gets old. The gameplay is super fast and addictive — once you get going, the momentum basically glues you to the screen. The weapons hit hard, the levels are quick and brutal, and when you nail a full floor without messing up, it feels amazing. And the soundtrack… honestly one of the best ever made in a game. It fits the action perfectly and just keeps you in the zone the whole time. The story and atmosphere are great too. It’s presented in a simple way, but if you pay attention there are tons of little details and weird moments that make it way more interesting. Overall, it’s just an awesome game. I’ve been coming back to it for more than a decade and it’s still a blast every single time.
A fun top-down stealth rpg. Besides not being able to actually carry bodies to hide them and the combat feeling so-so (Only the Sword-Dagger combination seems to allow parrying enemy attacks), everything else was pretty interesting. Will be getting the full game.
