I liked the first Hotline Miami, and when I first played this, I was disappointed. Enemies come from beyond the screen, certain enemies will have you screaming at the screen. The story, without exterior knowledge, is nearly impossible to fully understand, it's modular pulp-fiction way of displaying a sequence of events isn't done well enough for the ending to feel conclusive. You'll sit back and think, OK, I did that. And then you'll really, really want to play more. Somewhere in the back of your mind you'll crave the game that you were screaming at before. You won't want to do anything else. So you play it again, this time on hard mode on. And you get better. And there's that adrenaline feeling flowing back. And the music is hitting you. And winning feels more satisfying. And the story makes more sense and you enjoy it. The game is amazing. Play this game, hate it, and then play it again. There isn't a single game more satisfying than this.
Thief 1 was incredible, what Thief 2 does is get rid of the non-thievery missions, and instead just add MORE real thievery. Every mission is fun, and filled with secrets and loads and loads of stuff to steal. For it's price, it's the best game you can get.
