   There are few times where games offer novel experiences anymore as the industry grows, but Hotline Miami 1 & 2 were both really fantastic, andThere are few times where games offer novel experiences anymore as the industry grows, but Hotline Miami 1 & 2 were both really fantastic, and Wrong Number is in my opinion the better half. It is, in my opinion, a necessity to first play the original because its sequel spikes in difficulty much faster and continues to ramp up, and because of story reasons. I personally adore the huge areas with so many enemies because even though it can take an hour of retries, figuring out a path where you can get a 20x multiplier is really satisfying. The story is fantastic, I was kind of sour on the ending at first, but through more understanding of the story by the end of the second playthrough, I was thoroughly satisfied with everything, and adored and hated characters appropriately after everything was said and done because the game is well written. As for content, the game is 7-8 hours long with a Hard mode where the levels are mirrored, along with a level editor that will be coming soon. My only gripe is that I want more Hotline Miami through a sequel or by purchasing a full retail disk. I came for the gameplay, but ended up enjoying the narrative more. Hotline Miami 2 is the best game I've purchased on PS4, and that's saying something considering the small team that worked on it while triple A developers make lackluster titles such as the Order. If you liked Hotline Miami 1, give this a shot.… Expand

I loved how they decided to give out at least 3 different main characters with different action with them, like how one of the characters can actually be non violent and disassembled any gun you pick up. I felt it to be way more difficult then the first one that released, but that's what i love about it more than anything. The masks are cooler too, with different abilities such as being able to kill with your fists with the loss of weapons to make up for it, and the ability to dodge roll through doors and hallways. The maps are more intense as well, as different elements popping up can make it much more puzzling, and the map editor itself is the cherry on top as players are able to make their own maps for other players. The story is good, the game play is good, the maps are good. its just good! A must have for PlayStation or PC owners. Only thing holding it back is that the maps may be a bit intimidating for some players, but all and all a solid title from our friends at Devolver Digital!… Expand

It's extremely fun to play, albeit very frustrating at times. One of the newer gameplay / aesthetic additions is larger areas and rooms, which are infuriating as you often get shot at from across the room by a bad guy you can't see. As a result, it feels more trial and error than the prequel. Based on luck rather than timing and skill, which is a shame as the first game had excellent balance. What does work are the different characters and various nuances that come with them. I have yet to finish the game, but the storytelling seems a little haphazard in places and it is difficult to see exactly where it is going, or what relevance the characters have to one another at times. The soundtrack is just amazing and suits the atmosphere perfectly. A classic? No. The first one is better in my opinion.… Expand

Some levels are litterally unplayable on the ps4 because of how bad the lock on system is. The game will assume you'd rather aim at an enemy across the map than one of the 3 charging at you. It makes for one of the most frustrating experiences on console available today… Expand
