Hotline Miami

Greetings to the reader and VGTimes.

Hotline miami is the first game in which you press the letter R more than you click the mouse. A very good example, 2 developers can also create a game that is addictive, and after completing it you are waiting for a sequel.

Pros: soundtrack (chosen very elegantly), hardcore (although some may think this is a minus), beautifully drawn graphics, plot, gameplay.

Cons: what should they be?

Bottom line: Dennaton and Abctraction Games managed to create an excellent top-down game that, despite the price and short story, you will want to buy.

Adrenaline action, psychedelic plot, rhythmic acid soundtrack and stunning cruelty... this is all Hotline Miami. This is not an arcade shooter, not a stealth game, not even an adventure with a search for various objects and secrets. Hotline Miami is a cocktail of all these genres, fueled with "high octane energy."

“You died” - this inscription will have time to become ingrained in your consciousness and will accompany the player throughout the entire game. Death comes after any tiny mistake, after one single hit, and although the enemies do not shine with special intelligence, they compensate for this with speed and accuracy, a second chance... forget, no one will give it to you.

Hotline Miami is that rare, (relatively) modern game that deserves to be called a computer game and not just another “interactive entertainment” for 100 hours of wandering around an empty, albeit open world with an annoying grind, inappropriate mechanics added for show and other sores of modern games.

This is a dynamic, balanced and easy to learn game that is entertaining and allows you to relax. Gameplay is a top-down shooter. There are bladed weapons and firearms. The mechanics of shooting and hand-to-hand combat are simple, pleasant and work on literally three buttons. Despite the simplicity of the gameplay, it does not become boring even after two or three playthroughs in a row, and the reason for this is simple.

What can you say about Hotline Miami? It’s hard to say anything good about the content of the game, since it’s full of “meat” and a lot, a lot of violence.

But if you look at how all this is designed and in what form it is presented, then you want to talk about the game only in a positive way: bright pixel graphics in the style of games of the dashing 90s, rhythmic, albeit monotonous soundtrack, and all this is spinning in a single kaleidoscope before your eyes.

As a result, we can say that the game, which initially seemed like just another “pass-through”, turns out to be something much more that deserves attention.

A shooter as it should be. Driven, the soundtrack more than matches the pace of the game and sets its tone, a big minus in a small company, in fact, I would like more tasks, but the fans of the modders did a good job with this. Overall, the game is worth attention. The game can It may seem difficult, but in fact it’s not, in fact you just need to get used to it and the advice is to try to play in rhythm with the music.

Pixel graphics and the atmosphere of those years that are touched upon in the game itself add a special charm. As a result, one of my favorite games.
