Mate, this game is crazy. I never thought I would get addicted to killing and I see it's the same for you. That guy in stores like a pizza shop, video store, etc is too weird I don't know from where, but something shady he was into. I think when I played it at the beginning I felt the same, if you want to get an A+ it's advisable to go through the levels and use Zack's (frog) mask for combos which is one of the things that most influence the grades besides the time of course.
I think it's a good way to complement your content because you show the person who hasn't played it how it is and that can make them more interested in it, at least I liked it a lot, plus it's cool to record yourself playing it. Very good post, I can't wait for you to get to the decisive parts of the Bosses and what happens at the end, I'd like to see it in gameplay. I will give a chance to Hotline Miami 2 to see how it is and if it is worth as much as this (by the way what a good bargain you bought it for 2$).
I was planning on playing through the game then going back with appropriate masks to get A+. Using that mask sounds like a great tip. Thanks!
I could do a recording of the last few levels for sure. Glad you liked it! I'll probably keep adding videos to these first impressions then. I'll probably jump on the sequel when I'm finished with this. Unless I'm dead tired of it. We'll see!
The game looks very brutal, it is interesting from what you tell us in the publication. I want to try this game, hopefully someday I can get to buy it or play it somehow.
What I like most about your publication is that you explain in detail what the game is about and what you thought about each of the aspects you mention. Excellent work.
This is one of those games that once again proves how important a good soundtrack is. I probably wouldn't like the game as much if it had a boring and slower soundtrack.
For some reason I could never get myself to pull the trigger on this game. Probably my aesthetic sensibilities. But like yourself, I've heard so much praise for it. Including your own, now :)
We'll see if I give it a shot, thanks for the quality review! 🙏
P.S. Why are you unable to stream with commentary?
I often used to think that games that looked like this was crap for some reason. I guess I was all about them graphics back in the day. Glad I grew out of it!
We live in a small apartment and I have my rig in the living room. Recording would mean picking up the sound from the TV and me talking to myself would be annoying to my girlfriend. I could time recordings and streams to when she's away but I've decided to just chill on it for now. We plan on moving to something bigger within the next year so I'll probably have my own nerd room then.
lol, well I play Stardew Valley, CrossCode, Undermine and more so I don't feel I'm some kind of graphics elitist or anything... just something about Hotline's aesthetic rubs me wrong, lol.
And I totally understand, wishing you a smooth path to your nerd-room! 🙏
This game is really very good, I played both of them because I loved the gore style, but I didn't remember it until I read the post, it made me want to finish it again.
I'm not sure how to play this game, but I'm not sure how to play it, I think it was Charl or something like that hahahah.
I didn't know this game but its style catches my attention, especially this type of indie games, for a moment I was discouraged thinking that it was only for PC but I discovered that it's in the PSN store, also saw the 2 called Wrong Number, on my wish list already.
Ohhhh.... It's been a long time since I've seen a review of Hotline Miami Bro, violence made person by the hand of "Jacket" a nameless avenger Ufff.... in the middle of 2019 was that I started to play it and I got so immersed in the story, in the shootings, in the free visions to interpretation, in the ambience, that, how not to love this work of art, I would say that this one of the best examples par excellence, of the graphics are not everything in video games Wait until you get to "Wrong Number" the second release! You won't want to stop playing. If already the soundtrack is magnificent, in the second one they definitely left some of the best songs. In my Playlsit I can't miss the song "Future Club".
I already stopped playing the first one. I loved it to death in the beginning but all of a sudden it was like all of that disappeared and it was just boring. I still have it installed so I'll probably play it some more at a later time.
Be careful, sooner or later this game will make you question yourself about enjoying violence in fiction. It's a bit heavy-handed approach for my taste, but still an important milestone in the history of video games.
As for the soundtrack, it's not only awesome, it feels... complete. Hotline Miami should be labelled as belonging to two different media, a video game and a concept music album. The best thing is that both parts are fully complementary.

Greetings!
Well it’s incredibly cheap on Steam right now so this is your chance!
Thanks for the great feedback! Words like these are motivating to keep on creating! Cheers!
AAAAAAAAAAH, I'm looking forward to playing it now. I love this game. When I have kids, this will be one of the first games I will show them.
"Son it is time for you to learn how to kill." Brutal game to start off with for sure!
I haven’t played much of this game but i loved the music (It reminds me of Kavinsky) and the graphic style.
This is one of those games that once again proves how important a good soundtrack is. I probably wouldn't like the game as much if it had a boring and slower soundtrack.
I have always wondered if this game was any good. I may have to check it out
Masked Deranged slaughtering bodyguards is in coming.
It's quite repetitive seeing as you die a lot and just throw yourself at the level over and over but at the same time it's very satisfying.
For some reason I could never get myself to pull the trigger on this game. Probably my aesthetic sensibilities. But like yourself, I've heard so much praise for it. Including your own, now :)
