    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.

    Cool game with awesome vibe. Best part of the game, is music. Interesting/tricky plot. Game mechanics isn't best, some control are bugged. But it's a vibe-game.

    This one got me looking at indie games from that day on. Simple and addictive gameplay, great soundtrack, and even a nice little plot. I absolutely recommend it.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    It is fun despite the fact it shouldn't because of you know, the message of the game.

    the third indie that I love and I hate indie games a lot because they always have the same mediocre and poor style and I don't care that they were made by few people, but I would like to enjoy hotline miami as the first time.

    I LOVE HURTING PEOPLE

Hotline Miami is a game that does just that. This is a really tight and pulse pounding game, but ultimately, I don't really understand the hype the title garnered. To me, this is a title that could have easily been a free flash game ten years ago, I don't really understand the ways this has grabbed people. Expand

    This game is the best example of an excellent indie game, the soundtrack is magnificent, the gunplay is satisfactory but with its difficulty and the art of the game is beautiful

    Ураганный мясной экшен под великолепный саундтрек. Лучшее средство чтоб выплеснуть свою ярость. Моя любимая игра с видом сверху со времен GTA2

    One of the only indie games I’ve played through. I will be playing more indie games now. If they are as good or better will completely open my mind.

    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]

    A drug-induced coma of violence, strategy, death and rebirth. [Jan 2013, p.67]
