Este jogo é maravilhoso. Achei inferior ao primeiro, ainda assim, é foda. O final é lindo.

Maybe a hot take, but I like yhe linearity in this one! Just a couple quick in-n-outs and you're free!

Man, this party stinks. I fcking hate these people.

i can tell they didn't even want to make this one. i'd design levels like that too if i fucking hated myself and everyone that plays video games

perturbator can go fuck himself btw


level design is laughably bad
90% of the time dying doesnt even feel like your fault as you get shot off screen or bad rng from enemy movements just traps you.
story tried a little too hard to be non-linear.

Only real positive is that the gunplay is slightly improved from the first

O jogo não é ruim, mas tem uma pegada completamente diferente do primeiro porque são outras idéias e um level design diferente. Isso não anula que o level design é um pouco frustante.

Mas o Jogo não é ruim

Man both these games were made with the same ingredients, but for hotline two it feels like the sous chef accidentally dumped half a shaker of salt in the pot. The levels have some level of variety, yet feel more tiresome and unfair than even the most brutal from hotline 1

worse than the first one.

A total misstep in all ways. Tarnishes the legacy of the first game.

I really wanted to say this game is very good, but compared to the first one, it is a huge downgrade.
Hotline Miami was a tactical game, you had to plan your actions through trial and error in order to get the perfect run, while Hotline Miami 2 requires you to rely purely on reflex.
I may pick up this game sometime in the future for completion sake, but I can't say I had a lot of fun with it compared to Hotline Miami

Ok so I know it's not as controversial an opinion anymore, but I prefer Hotline Miami 2 to the first game. It's probably my favourite game ever, honestly. I love the more sober tone compared to the first game, the extra characters makes it feel more sprawling and like this is happening in an actual world and not just some rooms floating in a neon void. The music is somehow even better this time around, and I just like a bunch of the new aesthetic flourishes, like the UI.

It's hotline miami but weirder and probably better.

game teaches you that its okay to have empathy even for mass murderes no one is born a bad guy and at the end, they all payed the price anyway

Hotline Miami 2 es un experimento fallido. Intenta ampliar en sus mecánicas aplicando variedades de estilos de juego, y su historia intenta ser innecesariamente compleja. La violencia desenfrenada se convierte en una secuencia táctica pausada debido a la desmedida dificultad que tiene en varias secciones. No siempre más es mejor, y esta es la demostración de ello. Aun así, agradezco el intento por hacer algo distinto, pero mentiría si dijera que me parece efectivo.

La violencia decae, la crítica se diluye, y Hotline Miami 2 es la sombra de su antecesor.

Less fun then the first one, soundtrack is still a banger though

It will make you mad, it will make you sad, it will make you say E gads!

Изумительный сиквел, завершающий сюжет серии. Это и сиквел, и приквел в одном флаконе. Куда больше играбельных персонажей, динамики и музла. А засчёт мастерской засесть в игре можно на десятки часов, проходя пользовательские уровни и кампании. Я так уже 123 часа набил

Level design is quite a bit different compared to the original same can be said for how the story and characters are handled, the duology definitely feels like a combined saga imo, sorta like a part 1 and a part 2 of the same film if you get what I mean.
The gameplay definitely requires a different sort of approach and some more patience planning with slower gameplay than hm1 but imo its a nice difference between, sometimes the level design is genuinely bad tho(the nightclub level in particular) but other than that, the gameplay is pretty good in general, depending on how much tolerance for this stuff, and the game is worth playing for the story too.
A interesting follow-up to the original, but its not just a sequel, but a prequel and a requel? as well. The ending twist was definitely a surprise haha. The game also has surprisingly a lot to say, and expresses its themes and messages better than the first imo, although there's a certain charm to how hm1 handles it as well.

BUENÍSIMO LO AME, FUCK GUERRAS


Mejora un montón el gameplay y la historia, aunque la música no es tan buena
