Hotline Miami

great game. i wish i had conversations with richard in my head instead of being diagnosed with schizophrenia

Killer soundtrack and killer gameplay for the price of 10 dollars in full. You could wait for a sale but ten dollars is still worth it. Only downside is the clunky AI but i highly recommend.

This game is a cult classic, and I wouldn’t dare say “not recommended.” Still, it left me with mixed feelings. What I liked:[olist] [*]Frenetic, reckless gameplay. [*]Atmosphere, music, and visual style. [*]Good old ultra-violence. [/olist] What I didn’t like: [olist] [*]Overly convoluted plot (unreliable narrators, dreams, and hallucinations—did it happen or not? Not my cup of tea). [*]It's tough! I needed dozens of tries per level (maybe I’m just getting old and my reaction speed’s slipping). [*]Getting the good ending is nearly impossible without a guide. [/olist] Still, if you’re on the fence about playing, definitely give it a shot.

It is hard to believe, but Hotline Miami is a game that combines philosophy, good story, amazing music, retro graphics and blood. This game will make you question your own sanity while completing, yet it will be fun as heck. Hotline Miami has tons of options for what ability (mask) you want to have while completing the level, so the game has each and every playstyle you could think of. After completing the game i finally have the answer for the game's iconic question: Yes, i do like hurting people. 10 masks out of 10.

Hotline Miami is a fast-paced, action-packed game that really stands out with its unique retro aesthetic and intense gameplay. What I enjoyed the most was the adrenaline-pumping pace – you have to think and act quickly, which keeps you constantly on edge. The soundtrack is amazing and fits perfectly with the game’s retro style, adding even more energy to the experience. I also loved the Miami Vice-inspired style and overall 80s feeling. It’s a great game to burn some free time and definitely worth checking out if you’re into challenging action games.

[h2]OVERHYPE: 665000PTS[/h2] I don't get the everlasting love these synthwavey games get. It's always the same empty scenario, gimmicky vibes, forceful music and lackluster gameplay, with the whole bundle trying to pass for a gourmet choice of fine-tuned oh-so-original elements. Hotline Miami is probably the first of those but still mega-uninteresting. Unless you considered Drive was peak cinema and generally like to wallow in fabricated nostalgia, don't play this one.

This games a classic, its one of the first games I pirated and bought on steam. Despite it releasing first, It was only on my raider because of the devs/publishers work on Broforce. I honestly would've beaten the game if the controls were more comfortable on consoles and portable devices. Counterintuitively enough, despite the better controls, I hate playing Hotline on PC for long durations :/ I swear I was obsessed with indie games back then. I Don't know why i bought the second game, will probably play it if i even finish the first one (lol its been 10 years).

I first played this game over 10 years ago, and I've beaten it time and time again. Also, best soundtrack ever. It's worth every penny.

decent game ruined by terrible map design and bosses :/

Honestly, I didn’t have a good time with this game. The gameplay? Just not for me. It’s super repetitive, and you have to keep grinding the same sections over and over just to figure out how things work. That kind of trial-and-error grind just isn’t my vibe. The game’s brutal in every way, not just in style, but in how it treats the player. If you’re into that kind of hardcore challenge, go for it. For what it’s worth, I found Dead Cells 5BC tough… but this? Way harder. Like, *a lot* harder.

Bangin soundtrack, peak gameplay and a Lead who is Literally ME What more can you ask for

[h1]Hotline Miami – 100% Completion Review[/h1] [i]All achievements earned, every mask unlocked, every puzzle solved, every A+ score earned[/i] [b]Hotline Miami is loud, violent, cryptic, and relentlessly stylish.[/b] Completing it fully reveals not just a twitch-reflex murder puzzle, but a layered, fragmented story hiding beneath the blood and neon. You play as Jacket, a silent killer receiving instructions from anonymous phone calls. The gameplay is top-down and brutally fast. One hit kills you. One hit kills them. You restart instantly. It becomes a rhythm game made of doors, weapons, and bad decisions. [b]Each level is a puzzle of violence.[/b] Enemy placement, weapon range, timing, and line of sight all matter. Memorisation helps, but improvisation is essential. Chaining a perfect run to get that A+ ranking is both maddening and addictive. Every mask you unlock changes the rules, rewarding creativity and commitment. [b]The narrative is fractured and abstract.[/b] It comments on violence, player agency, and the meaninglessness of your actions. But it never lectures. It asks questions and lets you sit with the unease. A full completion run involves solving a hidden puzzle across multiple levels that recontextualises everything. The synth soundtrack is a character of its own. It fuels the tempo, defines the mood, and makes each run feel like a fever dream on loop.

very good probably one of the greatest games alongside hotline miami 2 sonic 3 and gran turismo 4 and shin megami tensei 3 but this game lowkey cheats and lies sometimes

Created its own genre, extremely fun, fast, and creative weapon play. Soundtrack is S tier. Only negative thing I can say is to the 1% of people, the game will make you feel sick. If you only like playing the good guy in games, this isn't for you. You're not a hero, you're not fighting for justice; the people you slaughter have no good reason to die. You feel like the bad guy in the worst way, and usually I like or don't mind playing the bad guy. If you can dissociate yourself from the game or don't care about killing pretend people in a game, then the above is irrelevant to you. *But*, this game does an amazing job of making everything within feel real. It's this sense of grimeyness and the characters present, the cheap drugs, and feeling impoverished that make it so believable. Trying to put food on the table by any means just makes me sad. That's the only aspect of the game I don't like; I wish it was more cartoon-ish violence. Challenging and fast-paced game that pushes you to get a higher score in each level and rewards you with masks and weapons that change up the gameplay in a meaningful way---all at the cost of the lives of hundreds of other people like yourself clawing to get by in life.

Incredible game that can change the way you think about violence and your actions as the game makes you feel sick for enjoying it's addictive gameplay

Hotline Miami is one of those games that is obviously art, to the point where anyone seriously arguing that games aren't art can legally be beaten to death with a copy of the game, much like with Spec Ops: The Line, Spiritfarer, Revengeance, and so on.

Violence, story, music, immerses you the first moment you play it. If you love murdering people, play this

+ классная музыка + постоянная работа + пицца и кофе за счёт заведения + приятные беседы по телефону + девушка + петушиная маска 7/10

Fire pixel art, fire soundtrack, fire story line, fire characters, fire bosses, this game is so fye 10000000000/10 would recommend

A super fun game where you play as crazy ex military guy with a rubber rooster mask going around brutality killing Russian Mafia members also the music is a banger but the game is a little janky but still a great game 8.5/10

Very fun game with a very good soundtrack. Simple objectives and good boss fights. 10/10 would recommend

Fun and original game. Great challenge and not boring at all.

its good its satisfying its hard and the music choices are timeless

The Most Incel-Core, gassiest game ever. Brapline Miami! Gone are the days of masturbaiting in your room larping as a terrorist on 4Chan, now you can make a mass shooting for the low low price of 9.99! You play as a degenerate that has more masks then common sense. With the masks itself they give you WaCkY powers forcing the bad guys for some reason to carry more specific weapons for you to pick up and brap back. You yourself have a uninteresting typical sad boy lore. We get it, no one likes you and you're a loser with schizophrenia. The aesthetic for Brapline Miami comes into play aswell. With its 2d top down epic incel shooter with its bright ass colors to kill a valedictorian child and its kick ass tunes to tell your friends that you have a different music taste, when you know damn well you listen to the most white-boy loser music. Now now, what turns people off from this game is this game is as hard as you when you see a 7 year old. Even a sneeze can kill your fatass so, plan out your attacks and scope out the base! The very compelling 10/10 A+ amazing story can help you make your future manifesto for your future mass shootings! If you don't want to become a criminal that kills innocents you can eat a cock till your jaw breaks. your playing motherfrickin' Brapline Miami! Boy the weapons! You have your basic machine gun, a baseball bat, an axe, and uhhh... Yeah this game is great! And hey, if you have finished the game, there is another game! the sequel! Brapline Miami 2! This is truly the incel-core game of all time. If you are a loser who can't afford therapy, a Steam Summer Sale Gooner (gross!), or a Tiktoker, This is the game for you! So what are you waiting for? Buy it on Steam right now and get to killin' in Brapline Miami!

Not that the music is bad or anything but some of these songs actually hurt my ears and there's no option to turn it off or even turn it down. Other than that i'm having fun.

When I first played this, I wasn't intrigued but the more i play, the more it made me fell in love with this game Awesome game play, awesome OST, sfx, everything. I do have some complaints with the tutorial and controls, you can't change the control, and if you forget the control, you have to go to the tutorial to check what button does what and that's pretty much it It's HELLA fun, and a HELL to get A+ I had a mental breakdown to do A+ grade in one of the level and also everyone have a different play style, it's really cool seeing other people game play cause it could be much different then yours also 100% is really fun, I love the challenge achievements, for example: beat chapter 5 using bare hands, beat chapter 2 with reverse controls, etc. and yeah that's it Rating 7.3/10 Enjoyment 7/10 (also WHY DO THE ENEMIES 360 NO SCOPE SO EASILY BRO :despair:)

One of my favorite games of all time, although it's a 2D game, it's better than 99% of 3D games. It's hard, one hit - you die, which makes it great. You get used to the layout around you, and you truly feel great after clearing a floor. Also, one more thing to add, DO YOU LIKE HURTING OTHER PEOPLE? 11/10, this IS one of the greatest games of all time!

I did not enjoy my time with this game much. But I can recognize that it's still a good game and worth checking out, even if it wasn't my thing. While steam labels it as action, it seems closer to a puzzle game, with each level being a floorplan of enemies you have to violently dispatch to progress. Maybe if I give it a shot again in the future and fall in love with it, who knows

eu ADOREI matar russos, hotline miami é o meu jogo favorito (depois de super chicken jumper)

awesome game. overstimulating and made me so angry i shoved a bass guitar up my ass, but good anyways.

this is one of the best games I ever played. true, it is very hard but also very very fun. the storyline is a bit confusing but when you get into it its very very good. I have completed the game and will buy the second one very soon. and for the last I have two simple questions for you, if the answer to the second question is yes, then this game is for you. first question is DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? and secon question is DO YOU LIKE HURTING OTHER PEOPLE?!

The Game is decent overall, however some parts of the game are stupidly difficult, not because its actually difficult but because the mechanics are unpolished and the game seems to preform RNG in terms of combat, overall play HLM2 instead.

sO incelcore i'm so sad lol best 400 hours spent i can't stop jorking it lol i'm Tyler Durden

One of the best games I've played in the last 15 years. Nicely designed, written, simple but with signature aesthetics and gameplay elements. More importantly, inspired by Drive and contributed in popularizing of the synthwave. Must play.

This game is like a 2d bloody mess. Its hard, but once you get the hang of it, its fucking great

everything about this game is good except maybe the difficulty could be adjustable 10/10

this is actually like one of my most favorite games. Its a little janky at points, but other than that i really think that you should play this game.

The game is really good, graphics are nice as well. Don't really understand plot, but everything is nice anyway.

Still one of my favorite games, eh. Just read about it inspired that one scene from John Wick 4. Nice

This game is like a fever dream. It feels like you're just being pushed to play it..Like a force makes you keep playing. Simple, Deep And fun.

It's a very decent game, the only problems that I have with it are that the AI's the mechanics feel janky and aren't very consistent. Though it does have: - Amazing soundtrack - Decent (but very addicting) gameplay - Great story

Everyone should play this game at least once. It is pretty fun and addictive.

After becoming an achievement wh*re and truly doing everything there is to do in this game, I can finally put a speaker in my bathroom, submerge myself in a hot bath, crank up the volume, turn on Horse Steppin' and let my hatred, solitude and sorrow dissolve as the song teases my ears and sends my spirit to tropics, letting me know how good my life can actually be.

What can I say but I love running it at high speed and decimating everyone in my path.

Do you like hurting other people? Are you perhaps satisfied by the practice of violent acts? Are you a KILLER? A bad guy killer? Then look no further, play this game immediately.

Killer soundtrack, amazing art style, and fun gameplay. My biggest complaint is that the gameplay isn’t all that deep, and it can get repetitive pretty quickly. Thankfully, the devs understand the value of quality over quantity, and the game doesn’t overstay its welcome. I really enjoyed the short time I spent playing this game—I’d easily give it an 8.5/10.

The coke driven primordial soup that inspired Walter Machado. Great gameplay, odd boss design.

One of the greatest interactive music compilations ever made.

Good, addicting, addicting, and good. The game entices you with fast-paced action that rewards aggressive play with higher ranks. Adrenaline at it's purest form. The story in the game is basically just a hook without a punchline and playing the second game is a must if you want to see the whole picture. From a pure gameplay standpoint, the game is a 8/10 Overall, the game is a 7.5/10
