    So-So
    * more complex story than I thought after research (need to pay attention)
    * not sure if I got by on skill or luck

    Cons:
    - inconsistent and unfair A.I
    Example: guy with a shotgun with a his back turn will do a 180 one shot kill from across the room, while another one will chase you. it feels like rng.

    - stiff and horrible twins stick mechanics (was this intentional to make the game artificially difficult?)

    - inconsistent hit boxes.
    Example: on my screen it clearly shows the bat going through the npc but it doesn't register sometimes, same with bullets going through npcs. keyword: sometimes.

    - inconsistent "stealth". what constitutes an enemy detecting you. I had an A.I do a 180 one hit shot the second I entered a room, but kill his friend while hes facing your general direction and not far away, and sometimes he wont notice.

    It's definately one of the hardest games that I've actually completed. That sense of satisfaction when chapter cleared is a big high. But I can't just turn a blind eye on the flawed mechanics of this game, getting killed by a character off-screen is the icing on the cake, My frustrations were not with getting good, it's with the wonky game systems. And I have a suspicion it was intentionally implemented too.    … Expand

    Esse jogo apesar de simples e sem nexo, é muito divertido e desafiador, joga-lo sem um controle no PC é uma tarefa para os mais experientes passarem aperto, O jogo é muito bom, níveis bem desenhados ao estilo 16 - 8 bits rico em detalhes e com animações razoáveis, a trilha sonora é mediana, algumas vezes é empolgante e outras você deseja deixar mudo mesmo para economizar os ouvidos, boaEsse jogo apesar de simples e sem nexo, é muito divertido e desafiador, joga-lo sem um controle no PC é uma tarefa para os mais experientes passarem aperto, O jogo é muito bom, níveis bem desenhados ao estilo 16 - 8 bits rico em detalhes e com animações razoáveis, a trilha sonora é mediana, algumas vezes é empolgante e outras você deseja deixar mudo mesmo para economizar os ouvidos, boa jogabilidade, os controles sempre respondem muito bem (apesar de serem um pouco confusos) e seu enredo é..... estranho.
    recomendo para pessoas que gostam de jogos violentos e desafiadores com um toque Old School

    This game is simple, violent and fun, the graphics are ok, and soundtrack is nothing memorable, but it's playability is awesome.
    i recommend for people that like old school and violent games.    … Expand

    Twin-stick overhead shooter that plays like the on-foot missions of GTA Chinatown Wars without the sandbox elements. The retro- styled graphics are quite crude and garish and the one-false-move-and-you're-dead format can be infuriating; prepare to be killed by unseen, off-screen enemies again and again and again and again. But it does have a "one more go" addictive quality that fends offTwin-stick overhead shooter that plays like the on-foot missions of GTA Chinatown Wars without the sandbox elements.

    Hotline Miami on the PS4 is the same intense, gripping experience that we've already come to love on other platforms, but with the use of the DualShock 4's new capabilities and smooth ergonomics, it easily lives up to the thrills of its past exploits.
