In some cases they can even shoot you before you see them. The top-down perspective of the game makes some deaths unavoidable, being unable to see enemies who are too far away but because they’re down a hallway, they can shoot you. While the first game offered an ambiguous narrative that allowed gamers to piece together story bits to create their own overall narrative, the second title includes a more specific and coherant plot that is told effectively. While there are many disturbing moments in the games, things sound almost too realistic in some cases and I could listen to the soundtrack on its own like the best OST’s out there. Both the art and sound direction of these games are flawless and it’s clear that developers at Dennaton Games knew this when they worked on Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, maintaining both the sound, music and art quality.
Luck Can Make or Break You From One Stage to Anotherīoth games feature fantastic soundtracks and bright neon colours contrasted by the dark 1980’s criminal underworld. While the masks play a big role in both games, the second title makes it essential to know which mask is best for which level, whereas the first game felt more randomized, allowing you to complete missions with any masks. While there are various masks you can wear for each mission, they don’t seem to play as much of a role in Hotline Miami as they do in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. Dogs will even go as far as to chase you outside the level you’re searching and around the whole building if you can evade them. These range from the average goon dressed in blue and white to massive dudes who can absorb tons of damage and dogs who will hunt you to the ends of the Earth. Although this game is branded as a top-down shoot ’em up, there are significant stealth elements, requiring you to hide from patrolling enemies. While the extremely trippy music starts any given day in Hotline Miami, the completion of a mission features very chill techno, making it seem like the protagonist finds tranquility in what he does and goes home with a smile on his face at the end of a day. These phone calls are the primary quest giver of Hotline Miami and each call seems to be from different clients who are interested in your service: effective murder. The protagonist awakens to a phone call that’s rather vague, with ambient EDM that sounds like it’s being played under water in the primary hub, the apartment. The first game features a somewhat incoherent storyline, sparking several fan attempts at making sense of the very bizarre events of the game.
