    The Hong Kong Massacre is an action movie fan’s dream played out in stylish slow-motion.

    The Hong Kong Massacre is obsessed with fist-pumping, high-octane action and is a great offering for action fans that enjoy the likes of Hotline Miami. The first two hours are largely spent finding the game’s wavelength, but the pulsing energy of the design helps propel you along. Before long, you’ll be swan diving through windows and lighting up rooms with gunfire in pure action bliss.

    It’s a very intensive and addictive experience – although it doesn’t get in your head as well as Hotline Miami, nor has it comparably good soundtrack. It’s a game put together from other people’s ideas which simply go well together. [03/2019, p.80]

    You may enjoy the game if you like John Woo's action movies.

    Drawing obvious inspiration from the works of John Woo and Hotline Miami, The Hong Kong Massacre is a top down shooter that tends to get repetitive, but offers intense action and great challenge.

    The Hong Kong Massacre has nothing new to offer, the levels are linear and the boss fights are repetitive, and the story is not appealing either. All that said, it is still a very fun game that can even be addictive if you take it seriously.

The game starts off strong, you are vaulting over tables, knocking down doors and shooting in bullet time with great particle effects, but after a few missions boredom sets in. With only four firearms and no melee weapons, missions feel very repetitive. In the end i found myself using the fully upgraded assault rifle, jumping into a room, and activating slow-mo to clear it without a sweat. The game almost became too easy. Boss fights were a huge disappointment, following the same formula that could be outmaneuvered thanks to the rather dumb AI.
