one word, Masterpiece.
the game has a unique switching between action and adrenaline, with calm and silence.
at the start, it seems like a simple game with no story. you don't know why every battle will repeat before you go to the next room, or why you'll revive over and over again. it's just like... he plugs in his headphone and start his killing spree. a Samurai against an army. sounds fun, right?
compared to what the game has to offer, it's nothing. every day you just kill a bunch of people and then you'll come back to your apartment, sleep, go to psychiatrist and the next battle will start. it's just fight, then calm, and then fight again, untill the peace will completely leave him and when he searches into the rabbit hole, there's no turning back from fight after fight and death after death.
the story is just beautiful. I don't know what to say. why isn't this a 100+ episode anime series? it has the potential.
and then the music. it fits so well to the fights and the cyberpunk and post apocalyptic world. the characters are perfect and badass and the last boss. let's just say it's orgasmic.

A Masterpiece
If you haven’t played this game, do yourself a favor and play it now. It’s not super long and you won’t regret it.

Underwhelming,I love hotline miami so I thought this would be perfect for me,but it's mostly all style and no substance,the gameplay gets old fast and the difficulty is incredibly frustrating.

The story is decent,but it's been done so many times,I just couldn't bring myself to care.Also the writing gets way too pretentious and there's just too many textboxes.

That said it isn't all bad the music was good and the gameplay can definitely be enjoyable at times,theres some nice story moments too.
