Not entirely impressed with this one. While the music is electrifying and the game carries a unique aesthetic, the story was too weak for me to really care about it. The gameplay is brutal and tactical, but will take a few levels to really get accustomed to. I did like how fast-paced the gameplay is, even though I died a fuckton. Being able to equip different theme masks is a cool way of having unique skills, though I don't think anybody bothered to try on a different mask after unlocking Tony. The gameplay is best when you're clearing out full houses of goons, but when it comes to the boss fights it fucking SUCKS.

But onto the story, I don't really see why this whole "violence in video games" is praised so much, it doesn't seem to explore any of its themes too deeply and instead drifts off into some weird political agenda by the end of the game. Undertale did the violence in video games shit wayyy better. And yeah that conclusion was pretty terrible, but HM2 will likely build on the story more.

Overall its fine, I would recommend it for the difficult gameplay alone as it is easily the hardest top-down shooter I've played.
