Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Review (PC) | Arcade Sushi

AS:

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number leaves me very conflicted. It's another great Hotline Miami experience with the same fast-paced action and blood-soaked retro graphics, but if I were walking past a screen showing it without knowing it was the sequel, I might think it's the first game. This is one of the safest sequels I've ever played, playing its hand close to its virtual chest and stubbornly refusing to reinvent the wheel for the second go-round. There are some new elements of course, but where I expected a build on the previous game's mechanics into a brand new experience instead became the same basic feel in a different scenario. Hotline Miami 2 indeed has the Wrong Number in its title, it should read 1.5.
