    Cool story, cool environments, even the shooting feels good. Except the game is so easy to beat that they had to implement stupid QTEs where you have to mash buttons to death for minutes. And, better than that, boss fights that are ridiculously hard, where you have to learn every pattern perfectly and retry dozens of times.

    So you end up with a game that is everything except deep and involving, as you crush through funny but easy levels to hit a boss, bleed your fingers off it and repeat. There is no originality in the gameplay, barely 2/3 different guns that you are to use only in a specific level. It's repetitive and never rewarding.

    In the end we got a nice looking game that revolves only around ridiculous die and retry portions. Please note that it will not only frustrate you, but hurt your hands badly, as the combinations of buttons to mash are really nasty. I say that and I have big hands, if you don't, don't even dream to try this game.

    This below average game was praised by Angry Joe who got to "collaborate" with the devs.... lol -_- Even your favourite reviewer can become a sellout when "you have to pay the bills" (as he said in the video, that should have tipped me off).    … Expand

    Overall, Milanoir is a very fun title. It has a deliciously dark and entertaining storyline, something that even the most expensive AAA games would kill for. It’s also home to some of the most creative use of a pixel art style seen in recent memory. The environments and characters look authentic to the period and drip personality, making all of the twists and turns of Piero’s adventure that much more irresistible to watch unfold. There are some mechanical issues that hold Milanoir back, but don’t let that stop anyone looking for a more unique video game experience from giving it a download from the eShop.

    While strong on storyline and overall feel, the control system stopped Milanoir being great. Repetitive sequences didn't help, either - there were times where the action sequences had me bored, and were a chore to complete.

    Despite hitting a lot of the same notes, Milanoir is not the Hotline Miami successor many were expecting. The game has a lot of style, enough for its 6-8 hour campaign to keep you engaged, but it is hidden underneath a layer of extreme frustration brought to light by its technical issues and extreme difficulty curve.
