    Hotline Miami is a violent game with a very simple gameplay. Add to that some catchy music and a well thought out map design and you have a fun game.

    Yes, I love hurting other people. Hello to the losers of this game who are jealous of a masterpiece like Baldur's Gate 3. On the release day of Hotline Miami, we will give this trash game a 1-day temporary game of the year award.

The game was published by Devolver Digital and released on 23 October 2012 for Microsoft Windows. Set in 1989 Miami, the game revolves primarily around an unnamed silent protagonist—dubbed "Jacket" by fans—who has been receiving coded messages on his answering machine instructing him to commit massacres against the local Russian mafia. The game blends top-down perspective with stealth, extreme violence and surreal storytelling, along with a soundtrack and visuals inspired by 1980s culture. The game itself was influenced in part by Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 neo-noir crime film Drive, as well as the 2006 documentary Cocaine Cowboys. Expand

    The entire Hotline Miami plot can be difficult to understand at times, so I suggest you go watch a video about it. When you understand it it's a really gripping story and it hits in a certain way, that only red dead redemption has been able to do so far.

    The soundtracks are fast and bassy, they fit the vibe so well.

    The game looks stunning, the menu gives a really empty feeling like if nothing really matters. It makes me feel like the main protagonist, Jacket is a nihilist in some way. He also has a really iconic sociopath personality

    Very important game, check it out.

    Hotline Miami is a kinetic and addictive fever dream of a haunting narrative and pulse pounding gameplay.

    Hotline Miami is only held back by several progression oversights (the survive one bullet mask being found after survive two bullets mask) and consistent bugs (dog behavior/inconsistent doors/enemies running out of the map). However these are minor nitpicks. I highly recommend

Даже если посмотреть историю твин-стик шутеров, можно увидеть, что самые известные представители оных пришлись уже на наш век, а не на век прошлый, когда игровая индустрия лишь зарождалась.
    Коротко: Hotline Miami - выдающийся сюрреалистический, нуарный (и даже пост-модернистский) опыт современных компьютерных игр, в который стоит поиграть каждому. Одна из самых стильных игр прошлого десятилетия, и все эти эпитеты не мешают быть данной игре действительно увлекательной в геймплейном плане. Крошить пачками русских бандитов, которые чувствуют себя в Майами, как дома, потому что они живут на территории русско-американской коалиции (да, лор здесь тоже действительно увлекательный) - это весело. Иногда нужно помыслить мозгами, иногда нужно действовать по стелсу, и иногда это довольно сложно, но это всегда весело. Ну и я не могу не упомянуть про саундтрек, который тоже задал волну определённой синтвэйв и даунтемпо стилистики в игровой музыке (как не странно, El Huervo, треки которого были весьма запоминающимися в Hotline Miami, были также заглавными в игре SteamWorld Dig 2, которую я прошёл сразу же следующей, ничего об таком совпадении не подозревая. И да, там тоже отличный саундтрек)

Mas não importa, Hotline Miami tem uma história íncrivel, muito confusa e que vai ter deixar super curioso, ambientação do caralho, gráficos lindos que combinam com as cores fortes e o sangue fluído na tela, sem dúvidas, é um jogo que marcou a minha vida, é um dos únicos jogos que me deixa melhor enquanto estou jogando, eu entro no personagem, me sinto como o Jacket, gasto toda a minha raiva nos mafiosos, me sinto melhor, esse jogo acaba virando a minha salvação de anti estresse, foi uma experiencia única para mim, eu fiquei em choque quando não podia comprar o jogo, jogava a versão pirata todo dia, e hoje me orgulho de poder ter comprado, Hotline Miami pode mudar a sua mente, talvez até a sua vida.

    The concept for the game was pretty good and the game play was hard and mostly fair, I say mostly because sometimes the controls didn't function that well and when throwing objects they went into a slightly different direction which in most cases resulted in you being dead.

The story starts surprisingly well and kept you guessing for what the reason is for you to kill people and who gives you these phone calls , but unfortunately the ending was a pretty generic and a boring ''F You'' which was disappointing for me personally. The soundtrack and the trippy retro visuals were a big plus for me and the bloodyness of the kills was also nicely done 7/10, Expand

    One of the best indie games, a spectacular achievement which paved the way for many other indies. Hotline Miami plays a bit similarly to Grand Theft Auto I and II, but with a much better style and unforgiving difficulty. The good news is that the levels are so short, dying won’t frustrate you.

Hotline Miami plays a bit similarly to Grand Theft Auto I and II, but with a much better style and unforgiving difficulty. The good news is that the levels are so short, dying won’t frustrate you. On the contrary, the fast and addictive gameplay will make you repeat the same levels over and over and you will feel a good sense of accomplishment when you manage to complete a level. Sound design is superb.

    I was told by many friends that I should try this. The screenshots hadn’t drawn me in and with regards to being way too late to jump into Hotline Miami bandwagon, I plead guilty. Hotline Miami is psychedelic, violent and often sick. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t put it down. Choose your favorite mask and enjoy playing the psycho killer.

    PS: Keep moving when you shoot.

    This game makes me feel bored because of trying out the same levels over and over and over again... 3hrs on record.

    The whole game can be described as simple yet effective. This applies to the story, the graphics and the gameplay too which gives us a unique experience.

    Very fun and challenging game. Its difficulty is what makes it interesting, because you have to make do with limited tools of destruction.

    So, to be honest. I really don't know why this game got so high scores. The storyline is strange and not obvious, in some games - it is very good, but here you don't understand anything. The gameplay is monotonous but funny and also very hard because everyone dies from one bullet or hit. Also, I like the style of this game and music.

    So, if you want to chill after a hard day - you can play Hotline:Miami

    Да тут как бы и говорить нечего. Живая классика и один из лучших саундтреков в индустрии.

    Отличная игра с невероятной атмосферой, при том, что является изометрией, но погружает по полной. Хардкор, ультранасилие, уникальный геймплей и пожалуй единственный случай, где стилистика для Инди-игры оправдана.

    A classic game with a good story and incredible music and visuals. One of the games of the old generation for sure.

    The story is very mistery, and gameplay is cool, but one of the greatest things in this game, is sountracks

    I like this game. It is very good for empty times. But sometimes this game has too much repeats. Sometimes it is just can be hard.

    From the get-go, Miami’s presentation has a unique style, with vivid colors, generous amounts of post-process filtering and a stunning soundtrack (you will just let the game play on, only to hear the tracks). But at the same time, all notions of continuous fast-paced action gameplay disappear. Hotline Miami is essentially a top-down stealth game, that rewards the player with imaginative (and quite violent) kill animations. [January 2013]

    A stylish slice of retro carnage. This is the bloodiest, least forgiving game of the year. [Jan 2013, p.85]
