Hotline Miami is fast, chaotic, and incredibly fun. Even though this came out >10 years ago, it is still a beacon of the genre.

The game works on a level based system, with a score based off of how you do in each level. Each level honestly provides so much variability and different ways to kill enemies, with the difficulty progressively getting harder. Sometimes I wanna blow my own brains out just as much as I wanna blow the enemy brains out... but the fact that I kept playing is what makes it so good. Couple this with an amazing and extremely catchy soundtrack, and you get a masterpiece of the genre.

I would highly recommend playing Hotline Miami if you haven't already.

This game is pure cocaine.
The simple blurred out story with bits and pieces for one to find and glue together into the answers one might ask,
The flashy colored pixel graphics along with the 80s setting and a soundtrack consisting of retro-sounding bangers,
Drenched from head to toe in ULTRA-VIOLENCE,
Make this fun low-budget arcade twinstick murder spree with a bunch of animal masks that give you different abilities a must-have.

Beat this game in one sitting its pure peak cinema
