5About Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you will assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld at the behest of voices on your answering machine. Soon you'll find yourself struggling to get a grip of what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence. Rely on your wits to choreograph your way through seemingly impossible situations as you constantly find yourself outnumbered by vicious enemies. The action is unrelenting and every shot is deadly so each move must be quick and decisive if you hope to survive and unveil the sinister forces driving the bloodshed. Hotline Miami’s unmistakable visual style, a driving soundtrack, and a surreal chain of events will have you question your own thirst for blood while pushing you to the limits with a brutally unforgiving challenge.

This is more than just a game, it's an experience
This is more than just a game, it's an experience. The surreal atmosphere, the trance-like music, and the surprisingly deep plot and themes make this such a special gem. Not to mention the devs are the coolest I've ever seen for any game. Definitely one of the best uses of $10 you could have on Steam.

If I had to sum this game up in two words, those two words would be frustratingly addictive
If I had to sum this game up in two words, those two words would be frustratingly addictive. You will die. A lot. Don't make the assumption that this is a run-and-gun game. This is a thinking mans psychedelic 80's murder simulator. You will die learning a map layout. You will die figuring out when enemies will respond to gunfire. You will die due to glitchy doors. There is a lot of you dying in this game. But guess what there's also a lot of? Heart-pumping Adrenaline-gorged violence. No other game evokes the same sense of crazed desperateness as you pummel some poor Russian mobsters face into the dance floor, only to get up a split second later, grab his shotgun, and blow away the other Russian Mobsters who've been unfortunate to be in the same building as you. While the action is split second and fast-paced, the game rewards tactical planning and thinking more than twitch reactions. You will not succeed trying to run through a building swinging a baseball bat like a madman. You're going to have to bait enemies, burst into a room when no one's looking, and die several times perfecting ways to murder people. My only complaint is how vague the boss fights are. While I've only encountered two thus far, both of them have been pretty vague on how you actually win them. How the hell was a I supposed to figure out that I could only damage biker once he's throw his weapon when that isn't how the gameplay mechanics works at any other point previously?. The boss battles are inconsistent with the rest of the game. It can get frustrating, but it is intensely satisfying when you've cleared four separate floors after countless deaths trying. 8/10, would recommend. -Jingle

This game was gifted to me in 2016, by a guy that used to be my friend. After gifting me the game, he proceeded to write to my ex and bang her. Bros and hoes are momentary, Jacket is eternal. 10\10, made me relive the trauma after all these years
