Si te gustó el primero quizás este te resulte desagradable, pero siendo objetivos la narrativa es muy interesante. Quizás lo más difícil sea el cambio de perspectiva, donde el anterior se iba uniendo poco a poco, aquí tenemos saltos alrededor de espacio y tiempo que lo hacen difícil de cohesionar. Pero en general el cambio de personajes, armas, y la …

Si te gustó el primero quizás este te resulte desagradable, pero siendo objetivos la narrativa es muy interesante. Quizás lo más difícil sea el cambio de perspectiva, donde el anterior se iba uniendo poco a poco, aquí tenemos saltos alrededor de espacio y tiempo que lo hacen difícil de cohesionar. Pero en general el cambio de personajes, armas, y la mejora de la IA creo que lo hace un juego igual de bueno que el primero, aunque tenga menos "magia".

Was a fun challenge going back to this and replaying the missions to get A+ ratings. Still an absolute classic, years later.

At this point the game has - sadly - just become a drag and I want it to end. Finished the Son's bank level (admittedly pretty cool) a few weeks back, have been building up the courage to go for the final stretch.

I played the first Hotline Miami and fully enjoyed the puzzle-shooter gameplay, but the story left a bad taste.

Fast forward to Hotline Miami 2 and I'm bashing in brains, cutting off heads, and sniping people from across the map with little concern for my actions. It may be that I knew what to expect or that I'm getting more …

I played the first Hotline Miami and fully enjoyed the puzzle-shooter gameplay, but the story left a bad taste.

Fast forward to Hotline Miami 2 and I'm bashing in brains, cutting off heads, and sniping people from across the map with little concern for my actions. It may be that I knew what to expect or that I'm getting more accepting of hyper violence after all these years. Either way, I've blown through most of the levels in just a few evenings an am enjoying every additional gameplay element (Windows, weapons, exploding meth labs, etc.).

The learning curve feels just right, though I feel quite a bit more resilient to failures thanks to my play through of Celeste.

The one thing I'd like to see is saving state mid-level. I was surprised to have beaten an area (but not a whole level), shut down the game for the night, and then have to redo the area when I played the next day. Maybe mobile gaming has spoiled me, but just save my state—please!

Off screen deaths stops forward momentum dead in it's tracks. Even with the look ahead feature I'm still dying to guys who I can't see and should not be able to see me. Lame. I'm finding different characters "special abilities" as gimmicky and not very useful. I think I'll use my two guns and point them to the side. Looks …

Off screen deaths stops forward momentum dead in it's tracks. Even with the look ahead feature I'm still dying to guys who I can't see and should not be able to see me. Lame. I'm finding different characters "special abilities" as gimmicky and not very useful. I think I'll use my two guns and point them to the side. Looks cool but very impractical when turning. Oh cool, maybe I'll use my crazy flipping ability to jump over a guy and steal his knife. Nope, he's faster than me and kills me. Stupid.

Enjoying so far but have noticed my grades are a lot worse than in HM1. This is definitely due to the size of the rooms/maps which causes me to play more stealth instead of full on speed run reckless. Not sure if I want to go back and try to A+ each stage, doesn't seem worth it.

Enjoying so far but have noticed my grades are a lot worse than in HM1. This is definitely due to the size of the rooms/maps which causes me to play more stealth instead of full on speed run reckless. Not sure if I want to go back and try to A+ each stage, doesn't seem worth it.

The story is pretty convoluted, I mean how many characters are they introducing? Confusing too, can't tell what is a dream, delusion, hallucination, or in game reality. There are so many characters that when they introduce a new one I just ask myself "should I care about this person?"

I'm liking it but it's not as good as HM1. The duo level is pretty cool but it would be better if you could independently control the chainsaw dude then 'tag out' the pistol dude.

Worth the $3.74 I spent but would never pay more than that for it. Ok, maybe $5, it is fun. I just had higher expectations.

This feels like it is a harder game than the original, at least what I remember of the original. Fun enough but lots more of the same. I really hate the roll mechanic tied to the same button for finishing a downed foe.

Played some stages. So far so great. My only complain would maybe be some of the, 'frustration'? I really don't know how to put it...

Anyway, apart from that everything has been improved since the first game. Plot-wise even more than the rest.
