    The game is longer than the first part, has amazing story and characters. Really loved the vibe here and figuring things out along the way. It was fun and I will remember this game. It leaves an impression. Pickens approves!

    If you liked Hotline Miami and wanted a longer storyline, more death, more killing, more blood and more weapons. You wont regret Hotline Miami 2. It might be a cheap game but its highly addictive and you wont stop playing it.    … Expand

    More blood, more gore, more chaos, where an you go wrong? The combat is fast and challenging, and certainly not for the short of temper, people with slow reflexes and weak stomachs. Additionally the soundtrack is amazing as expected!

    Amazing game!

    Most of the haters are just mad the levels are much larger and actually take some thought to complete.

While its actually an improvement in overall challenge of the game, their perfected rush down playstyle is no longer viable in every situation. So they claim its "no fun." That is far from the truth however, the game is much more refined and offers a lot of really good new qualities.

    Only downside is....we STILL haven't gotten the level editor that was promised at launch.    … Expand

    Its longer, its harder, it has more posibilities, more characters, level editor, enhanced graphics? not sure if i should say it like this since the art style of the game is not about graphics... but its arts got really much more beautiful and there are many new effects and details which i found totally awesome and kickass.

    Maybe its downside (again) would be its AI... i'd love this to be improved... but oh well, nothing is perfect and never will be.

    For me, 2 of my all time favourite games. And still i know this is the kind of game you love or you hate when you first try it,

    'Fast pace' gameplay from the first one maybe has gone, but great atmosphere is still there. Wrong Number is a great sequel, we've got more interesting areas, incredible soundtrack, confusing story. But sometimes devs decide to put windows everywhere and without using guns it is impossible to pass level. Swinging around the corner isn't as fun as punching everybody (like 3 yrs ago)

    Harder, Better, Prettier. The story is well-built, new gameplay features are fun, new levels are challenging, new music is awesome, ear drilling and relevant at the same time. Hotline Miami just got bigger and heavier, and I am very happy to say that.
    P.S.
    -1 point because of buggy gameplay as Alex and Ash. Probably will be fixed sometime soon.

The game is once again complimented with a sublime soundtrack that really adds to the powerful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the game also suffers from some horrific mission design that render many levels infuriating and unfair. If you can overlook this; it's a fanastic experience but even die-hard fans may be left disappointed at its surprising flaws.

    Players will notice very early on that each mission is substantially bigger and more populated than the ones seen in Hotline Miami. In theory. this should be a good aspect that adds to the overall challenge but more often than not; you will struggle to spot, track and shoot enemies at distance as you can't even see them. Even with the camera stretched with the shift key to the maximum; some areas of maps you simply wont be able to view which enables you to be killed out of the blue even though you wont see who shot you or where they were. You may need to play a mission 20+ times you to assess where everyone is and even then; you'll need luck more than skill to succeed at times.

    To add insult to injury; many missions now contain windows in all directions and considering the sizes and openess of some levels; you can only go in set directions which makes some feel very linear and repetitive. Not being able to see large parts of the map also leaves your options limited in how you approach them.

    Despite the dismay regarding the key flaws; I still recommend this game to fans. It is much harder for all the wrong reasons but if you can adjust and learn the levels through endless retires; you'll be hooked once again. The engrossing story, the terrific cast of characters and the music really improve on the original. The achievements also add to the longevity and when the level editor arrives; players will be able to show the devs how it should have been done!    … Expand

Hotline Miami 2 is undoubtedly a solid game. But as it's a sequel, the important thing is to consider what this game adds to the franchise - being released after the indie blockbuster Hotline Miami 1.

    First things first. Read the comic before starting the game. It's nice and ties some points between two games. Music: again awesome. Some people may like more as it is more darker now. But, the soundtrack is expensive - it has the same price tag with the game.

    Now, gameplay. Top-down f*ck'em up style didn't wear up, so it is still very entertaining. As I saw, enemies are more active. There are some questionable points though. Wide rooms make it harder to spot enemies so you will definitely get some cheap deaths. Sometimes, the enemies get stuck during their patrol. I don't know if it happens to everyone, but when you kill the last enemy on a floor, there is a chance that the game freezes momentarily. I didn't encounter any stability issues however.

    The plot leads from multiple points. You play as multiple characters, who have different perks and style, replacing mask perks in the first game - and I think that's a fine change. As I said, I played for a couple of hours so I don't know if the story ties up well, hope it does.

    Finally, does Hotline Miami 2 suffer from Call of Duty syndrome: no, considering that this is the last Hotline Miami entry and it has some new features. Making a sequel for the first game was undoubtedly hard, trying to reach the sensation it created as it was very unique. There aren't many substantial changes, so it is understandable that there are some disappointed people.

    Hotline Miami 2 is a fine addition to a fantastic franchise. If you liked the first game, you should definitely get it. If you are new to the series, try the first game, then consider for yourself.    … Expand

    Hotline Miami 2 is not an improvement on Hotline Miami, rather it's a whole game of it's own. It may have a reference or two to the old one, but on its own, it differentiates itself enough to be considered on a different level.

    You follow an odd 7 or so psychopaths, detectives and soldiers through a grim "alternate history". The story is phenomenal, with a conclusion a-kin to a dream, asking questions about if anything was worth it. Again, the mystery and speculation from the fist game, is still here.
    Musically, the game has been modernised, and this would be a little problematic, if it weren't for the score being utterly stellar. Music is slow and depressing in some areas, and fast and "violent" in others. Graphically the game is still as OK as ever, besides a few improved visual effects.
    The only major problem is that the levels are massive. This is compensated for with the incredible diversity, but I cant help but feel that the drag on, not helped by the fact that they are designed to be harder than the last game.
    One final note: I think the developer's passion was paramount. You could really feel that the game was made by two really inspired guys (and a hundred other musicians). This means I can forgive all the shortcomings to some degree. I think everyone should stop comparing this masterpiece to the cult classic of 2012, because as a whole this is a very different game.    … Expand

Keeping the soundtrack in the same violent/neon colored overtone Hotline Miami 2 saw returning artists such as Perturbator, Moon and many others as well as some new coming artists to the series such as Mega Drive and El Tig3r adds to the unforgiving nature of the game and the feeling of pure satisfaction after completing such a seemingly impossible task.

So let's dig in.

    Dennaton Games obviously realized that the sequel to one of the most lauded indie gems ever, would need to be bigger, better and even more over the top in regards to how you approach it. Some of it they succeeded at. Some of it sort of killed the frenetic pacing. That said, expanding the scope of the game was the right approach, and the split perspectives this time around, offers players with a variety of new faces with their own bits and pieces of what is looming in the background of the HM2 world.

    You have The Fans. A group of kids who were inspired by Jacket to go on their own killing sprees, and each one has a unique mechanic. Corey has a diveroll. Mark is a beast with machineguns. Tony destroys people with his fists. Alex and Ash are actually two characters in one, with one wielding a chainsaw, while the other backs her up with a gun. Their missions for me, were probably some of the best in the game, hands down.

    You have Jake. A fat redneck, following in Jacket's footsteps. Jake can throw anything and it's lethal.

    You have Evan, a writer who is desperately attempting to finish a novel about the events in Hotline Miami. You have to literally force him to kill, and he won't use guns, instead, he disables them when picked up.

    You have Pardo, a detective with a dark secret, chasing a serial killer.

    There's others, but I don't want to spoil it further for anyone simply wanting to know if the game is worth purchasing it or not. I'll summarize for you. This game is both frustrating and rewarding, infuriating and entertaining, has a killer soundtrack and offers an unforgettable experience. Once the level creator is released, and the bugs are fixed (already under way) the game will be a worthy successor and sequel to the original. It's completely worth purchasing and I recommend it to anyone seeking a rewarding challenge wholeheartedly!    … Expand

    The music is fantastic and the graphics great. The story is continuously interesting and the focus on multiple characters also forces the player to try multiple play styles. Variety is the game's greatest improvement, yet also it's weakest aspect. The game starts with lots of characters, and lots of masks, however later in the game everything degrades into a repetitive game of peekaboo.

It not only expands on everything the first game brought to the table, but adds unique gameplay features and unbridled difficulty. In comparison to the first game, the gameplay is much more varied. Instead of masks simply giving you a weapon to start with or changing your character's speed they'll completely change the way you play. From the chainsaw and gun wielding duo, Alex & Ash to using a long range sniper and close quarters knife combo this game really explores the possibilities of a top-down shooter. You'll hear some complaints about difficulty but as someone who loved the first game, it's pretty welcomed. The original Hotline Miami was one of my go-to favourite games. I'd just sit down and kill some mobsters for 15 or 20 minutes, Over the course of a few years I put quite a bit of time into the original Hotline Miami and it became pretty easy. Wrong Number realized this and knew that there had to be a steeper difficulty curve. It starts to bar on the difficulty of old NES and SNES games which may seem unfair to some people but was more of reminiscent or nostalgic feeling for me. The game never feels impossible but rather incredibly challenging.

    The music is just as good (if not better than the first game) and alone is worth the purchase. You'll find the soundtrack pumping you up to clear the next room or just chill you out while you're selecting a chapter to replay. I purchased the vinyl soundtrack and it was worth every penny.

    As for the story; Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number keeps the retro 1980s (and early 1990s) vibe the first game established and drives it home with a mosaic of eighties and nineties movie tropes. In true Hotline Miami tradition they paint the whole picture through disjointed and hazy visuals in cut-scenes as well as subtle background imagery allowing for you to still come up with wild theories and discuss the story with your friends. The games art is unmistakeably beautiful and tranquil at times while being disturbing, gory & over-the-top violent the rest of time. Dennaton has said this will be their last Hotline Miami instalment and they manage to send the series off in a melancholy, dark and beautiful tone.

    To sum everything up, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will probably not appeal to those who are faint of heart or are seeking a more relaxing experience. But will be very satisfying for those who a looking for a insanely challenging retro game. Especially to who enjoy the 80s/90s neon blood-spattered world. Hotline Miami 2 will go down as one of my absolute favourite games of all time.    … Expand

    Filled with violence, gore and provocative showcasing, this is indeed a successor to the original. The disturbingly jagged art style is back, it's even displayed at times in new and more creative ways. It still retains it's grotesque feel and it uses it well to it's advantage.
    Getting the other obvious thing out of the way - the soundtrack is stellar, again. It will be thumping in your heads long after you complete the game, and for good reason. Some new artists, some recurring ones and loads of MP3-player-worthy material make this OST worth owning.
    But let's get to the core - gameplay. This is where Hotline Miami was at it's finest, even making a point how important gameplay is as a narrative, not alongside one. Hotline Miami 2, in this aspect, offers more - more weapons, more ways to slay, more levels and they are bigger. And, worst of all - it's way, way harder. And I do mean this as a negative point. Coming from someone who loves the first game and has beaten it 5 times, never taking more than 6 tries at any level, in any of those playthroughs, the sequel goes to the extreme. Some levels are borderline insane, which sadly makes me say that they are very poorly designed. You can't expand on level scale and leave everything else as it is! That's madness! At times I felt as if the game had no QA testing at all! I had to resort to bugs and exploits to get out of some tight spots, simply because the game gave me options that would ultimately always lead to my doom. Some combinations I found to be absolutely impossible. And speaking of bugs, this game has it's fair share, and the fact that I was searching for them to complete some stages says a lot. And to top it all off - the game crashed on me twice, which is unforgivable when you have to restart the whole damn stage again, from the start (and you were, say, at the last room). Which again brings up the point - if you are gonna have bigger stages, you are gonna need a slightly different save system, because your game crashes. Or just have it not crash. Your choice. Overall, technically, the game feels a bit unfinished. But to be honest - I kept coming back, because it was brutally fun and ... intriguing.
    Speaking of intriguing, I, as a defender of art and narrative-driven games, think that Hotline Miami was one of the finest examples of storytelling and art in gaming to ever be crafted. So naturally, Hotline Miami 2 had to do it's damn best to impress me. To be honest, I didn't get what I wanted. But I won't turn back what is offered either. Without spoiling anything, the story answers all questions left unanswered by the first game. The events have come full circle and now we know the absolute and final chronology of everything (for now) and that was pretty sweet to see. Dennation obviously tried to do something different with multiple protagonists and plotlines, and in terms of story - that is cool, but in terms of storytelling - it is convoluted. Very convoluted. Getting things in the right order is a pain, because they are not served in the right order. Piecing the puzzle is, once again, left to the player and it is no easy task, rather an annoying one. But it is worth it in the end. To get back once more to the multiple protagonists - this goes a bit against the game itself, because it often limits the player to playing a level in a certain way, which surely is challenging, but some of us don't want to use guns, because they make things harder. And making a insanely hard game harder by taking away player choice isn't the most clever thing I've seen lately.
    To top this all off - the game isn't finished yet. The level editor isn't out, you can't download custom levels and once again - there is nothing to do after the story is finished, other than hunt achievements and find the few secrets present. I am very eager to build levels and download new ones, so I hope this feature releases soon. If it successfully does and it's everything that it should be (as in - loads of assets, all previous masks, new additions, the ability to tie levels into custom campaigns, unlimited downloads and - the update being free of charge), I would up the score on this. That would be a very worthy and valuable addition to the game, making it virtually infinite to us Hotline Miami Crackheads. But untill then... I will continue playing the story on hard mode. Because I'm hooked. Again.
    Because I like hurting people. And I'm not yet sure why. All I know is that Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number makes it very fun, enjoyable and intriguing. And while it doesn't do anything outstandingly better than the original, it is at the very least as equally as good and is well worth the requested price. Do you like hurting people?    … Expand

    -Mask system wasn't great to be honest.
    -Sloppy movement and some crosshair/input lag.
    -Gun gameplay kinda boring (sorry).    … Expand

    There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that this game is a step up from its predecessor. With more weapons, a better story, and more masks. I definitely recommend picking this one up! Also, as a bonus, people with Payday 2, you get a free mask! (At least when I bought it it gave it to me, although this might be different to you.)

    I think Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number is better than previous chapter. Story is more understandable. Music is awesome. Gameplay is really cool. I think that's not fair that HM2 has only 72 rating score. I'd like to erase my memory and play this game again. That's awesome

    Que jogo do caralho. Te mata de raiva com a dificuldade )mas isso não é uma reclamação), te mata de amores com o visual, a história a trilha sonora, aliás, pqp, a trilha, vsf; merece um oscar, um grammy uma medalha de honra ao mérito.

    Second best muuuuurder game of this decade! Love the trippy-ness! Loses a bit compared to the first game because the messyness with so many different characters. But still, love this ****

    Retro City Rampage meets Killer 7. The level design is pushed to its limits the story and characters are compelling, and the game as a whole has a fantastic, conclusive feel to it. If it interests you, you'll like it.

    Dark, violent, thought-provoking and powerful. Although satisfying, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is not the masterpiece its predecessor was. [Apr 2015]

    Dennation had a hit. It was dumb, it was violent, it was addictive. What it wasn’t, was mean. It wasn’t punishing. It wasn’t gross. By trying to go further, and bigger, and better, Dennation spoiled a winning recipe

    '80s style and sociopathic stealth return in the bitingly hard, brilliant-but-unfocused sequel. [May 2015, p.56]
