Listen, I don't hate it. It's fun. The music is superb, the guns are nice, and I like roguelikes but... It's no Hotline Miami. The black and white and red is quickly grating, the story is forced and just gets in the way, the modifiers are not very interesting. I really hope it get's modding support and a good community. I like it but, no, it's not even close to HM despite the mechanical upgrades in some areas compared to it.
I've got to the second boss. It's still fun. Still no HM.
