Hotline Miami

Top Pro

Excellent, ultraviolent close combat

The overhead view allows the player to see much of the level in order to plan how to attack each situation, in violent and gory aplomb. See More

Top Con

Light on story and can be difficult

There is really no reason given as to why the player is doing what they are doing and the game itself has a fluctuating difficulty level that can be frustrating. See More

Top Pro

Great, tense soundtrack

The soundtrack has a very 80s electro flare to it that helps flesh out the feel of the game and it's violent story. See More

Top Pro

Unique, neon-soaked art style and surrealist, gritty story

Playing off of themes seen in movies like Scarface, Hotline Miami features a crazy violent story the exudes a very 80s feel. See More

Kentucky Route Zero

Top Pro

A game about the journey, not the destination

Players can casually play Kentucky Route Zero without being punished. See More

Top Con

No puzzles

Deviating from the norm of a point and click adventure, there are no puzzles to be found in the game. So for those looking for a traditional point and click may be disappointed. See More

Top Pro

Very atmospheric

From the soundtrack and sound effects to the stylistic graphics, Kentucky Route Zero exudes atmosphere. See More

Top Pro

Camera movement pulls player in

Unlike a lot of adventure games that have static cameras, Kentucky Route Zero has a camera that pans, zooms and rotates, giving a deeper sense of immersion. See More
