    Fast paced and brutally difficult sneaking and slashing/shooting. It can be frustrating at times, but it's also a hell of a lot of fun. The music is excellent, the lo-fi graphics fits perfectly with the color scheme, and the writing in the story are really on point. I really, really enjoyed it, found it very challenging, but a lot of fun to play. There are a few niggles though - the aimingFast paced and brutally difficult sneaking and slashing/shooting.

There are a few niggles though - the aiming is a bit off too often, there are occasional glitches that will leave enemies stuck to you or stuck outside of the screen (which means you have to re-start the entire level), and for the love of god, remove the bloody boss dialogue after you've been killed the first time - it's insanely annoying to have to click through it a million times.

    Overall though, a really good game that I'd recommend to anyone who's up for a challenge.

    Great game. Hard as hell. You’ll die a million times but each time will try something new and different and will push on. Loved it. Visually and musically on point with the era (80s) . Action and gameplay are excelent. I had a blast . The game is not imposible but if you are not patient and like challenges better stay away from this one. If not this is a glorious game. A cult classic.Great game. Hard as hell. You’ll die a million times but each time will try something new and different and will push on. Loved it. Visually and musically on point with the era (80s) .

    I would give this game a 9/10 if it were possible to change the controls around. Even so, this game is addictive for its hardcore action. I especially appreciate the game has zero interest in wasting the player's time. The level restarts about 1 second after death (which is great because death is frequent). It is both strategy and action. Great game!

    Awesome games based on twitch reflexes, creativity, boldness, and weapon choices. Plenty of replayability with the weapon and mask unlocks! This is one of those great games with old-school, cheap-looking graphics that you just have to enjoy the way it looks because it feels just so dang good to play!

    Hotline Miami 1 y 2 son dos juegos de violencia extrema y de combates frenéticos que enganchan desde el primer momento.

    La historia es interesante y, aunque no sea nada del otro mundo, también es un incentivo para seguir jugando. Lo más destacable del juego es su jugabilidad, obligándote a pensar una estrategia si no quieres morir una vez tras otra. A veces llega a ser frustrante
    Hotline Miami 1 y 2 son dos juegos de violencia extrema y de combates frenéticos que enganchan desde el primer momento.

    La historia es interesante y, aunque no sea nada del otro mundo, también es un incentivo para seguir jugando.

    Lo más destacable del juego es su jugabilidad, obligándote a pensar una estrategia si no quieres morir una vez tras otra. A veces llega a ser frustrante porque vas a morir mucho, pero la satisfacción que recibes cuando te pasas un nivel es enorme.

    En cuanto al apartado artístico, por un lado, la banda sonora está muy bien y acompaña perfectamente a los niveles y a los menús. En cuanto a los gráficos, el estilo pixel art es muy bonito y el diseño de niveles, de personajes y de máscaras es excelente.

    Es un indie de culto que todos deben jugar al menos una vez.

    En Switch los controles dejan bastante que desear.

    Game is excellent. Gameplay is so fun. Only wish it was easier to skip the story which is pretty insane.

    Hotline Miami Collection arrives in physical format to our country, reuniting two of the best indie action games. The series started almost 10 years ago, and as with old good classics, they are timeless: graphics, gameplay, music... all is still over the top.

    Hotline Miami Collection perfectly exploits its best strength, its playability. Its mixture of action and strategy manages to keep the player playing. It is not a perfect game but it is very fun and recommended.
