Specs
Pros
Pro Excellent soundtrack
The soundtrack perfectly fits the grimy and psychedelic atmosphere of Hotline Miami 2. Most of the songs fall within the electronic, synthwave, and outrun genres. Sometimes there are high-tempo songs matching the on-screen action, other times there are eerie songs in a really bizarre story scene. Whichever it may be, it's always exhilarating to listen to.
Pro Exciting fast-paced action
Hotline Miami 2 is about brutally murdering mobsters in their safe-houses. You can plan out your path before entering a safe-house but once the action starts, it never slows down. You'll run down hallways and through rooms, killing mobsters with any weapon within reach, including baseball bats, knives, katanas, shotguns, rifles, and many more. Before you know it, there will only be a sea of corpses left to keep you company.
Cons
Con Very unforgiving
One accintent can ruin your progress. If you die you will have to restart the level from the last checkpoint, which doesn't sound that bad until you mention that any hit is an insta death. A gunshot, a baseball bat's swing and everything else that can kill you will do it in one blow.
Con Can be really frustrating
When you die in Hotline Miami 2, you have to restart the level/section. Because most enemies can take you out in one hit, a momentary lapse in attention can be fatal. This can be especially frustrating in long levels since dying near the end means you'll lose about 30 minutes of progress.
