Hotline Miami 2 took what we loved from the previous game and made it 10x better. I highly recommend people to play this after the first game!
[OST]
OST in this game feels more energetic than the original game, every character has their own sets of OST. A positive note that I should add is that you won't feel annoyed/tired from the same OST repeating if you died in a level for so many times, I had this problem when I played the first one, but here it's very good to listen to. I sometimes just get myself killed because I pay more attention to my ears than the screen, just shows how good of OST this game have.
[Gameplay & Characters]
All characters have their own set of weapons, their own twist to how they finish the level. They change your strategy each character you play with. Example The Fans...you can pick one of them and play with, but there's a catch. A character from The Fans can't pick up guns he can only rely on his fists, other you'll need to play with two (ducks), other you'll just spawn with two Uzi--s. There's Beard from the first game, now as a playable character, he gets sets of weapons to choose from and then go fight the enemies, you can say it can be very reckless unlike most of the other characters, or you can play him strategically, whichever you want. There's Evan who can't pick up weapons (guns or any lethal killing melee weapons) and he doesn't kill, only knocks them out (you can let them die too if they're knocked out).
[Level design & Visuals]
The visuals in this game are very good, and not the boring visuals that was in the first game. Level Design is good, they improved a little than how it used to be in the original game.
[Story]
Here you can at least figure out the story...Kind of? meh I tried to understand all of it, but I just gave up to be honest.
[Negative thoughts of the game]
Same thing from the first game, sometimes the game gets irritating and stupid, sometimes you're able to just punch all enemies at once (close radius), but sometimes one person lives. When you try to melee a dog, it's a 50/50 chance either you get the timing right or just get fucked.
Game's good...
