HM2:WN is Hotline Miami pushed to it's breaking point. I feel the reason the devs opted out of doing a 3rd installment is because at some point while making this game they realized there was no where left to go gameplay wise for another full entry of Hotline Miami, and judging by the more lukewarm reception this game got over it's predecessor I would say they were right to end it here.

Hotline Miami 2 is everything you love and hate ramped up to 11. Where 1 focused more on tight level design and melee combat, 2 goes wide and demands you to go guns blazin. Where 1 was very cryptic in it's story, 2 is filled with lore and explains everything.

It's because of this ying-yang design between both games that I believe 2 is the perfect sequel to the first. It takes the original formula and does everything it can with it. Anything else quite frankly would have simply been a rehash and lesser game. 2 is complimentary to 1's experience in every way imaginable. I love both of these games and fully reccomend them to anyone who can handle the punishment they dish out, because underneath the "unfairness" lies some two very rewarding games.

Movement feels great, guns sound good and from the selection I've gotten my hands on so far have all had their place in a level. The devs feel like seasoned vets on level design and flow. Hidden areas take me right back to Shadow Warrior or Duke Nukem 3D. I grew up playing shooters like these with my buddies over land lines for hours on end so really looking forward to seeing some multiplayer deathmatch. Would recommend to anyone who enjoyed good FPS' in the mid to late 90's!

This game is inspired by Valve’s Half Life 2 but it is really short. Its cool to play a game like this one from a small indie studio because it is easy to tell that a lot of love and care was put into this game. I have read reviews on Steam that the game is relatively short so I decided to play it on hardcore to make the fun last longer. Hardcore mode requires to look for typewriters to save game progress and ammunition, life regenerators are harder to find through out campaign. There are some puzzles in the game which so far are easy to solve. Combat is typical of FPS and story is interesting. I would recommend the game to half life, sc-fi games enthusiasts. The game is definitely worth trying.

So this was originally a skyrim mod which is now released as a standalone game.I never played the mod so i can’t compare this two.Without spoiling too much you are a time traveler and you land in a world where everyone dies if someone commits a crime.You have to figure out which of the characters is the one who is responsible for the death of all the people and you have to break the loop basically.Since you are from the modern day you know the fate of these people but you are trapped in this loop as well.The characters are very well written and i also like the graphics.The face animations look a bit stiff but if you consider that 3 people worked on this game it’s not really an issue at least for me.Really interesting concept so if you like to solve mysteries and such and talk to people like in rpgs with choices and consequences you definetly gonna like it

I don't think many games do classic lovecraftian adventure as well as Conarium and the game nails it with it's atmosphere, story and locations. It's a simple game which you can complete under four or five hours even if you manage to find all the secrets and hidden trophies as the puzzles aren't much of a challenge. As much as I loved the game, I wouldn't recommend buying it for the full price as it's such a short experience.

This game reminds me of a classic Call of Duty game's campaign with setups for cool gameplay moments that are only half scripted. As a minor spoiler at one point you are launched over a boat and the game slows down time for you to deal with it. Shooting it in slow mo with dragon's breath and watching it explode, a sublime and classic experience.

The game seems to subtly shift the camera in many high speed movement sections on it's own preventing you from thinking somewhere was the right way to go or not knowing where the next platform is *cough* Shadow Warrior 3 *cough*. I liked that camera shifting a lot.

Sure this game is short but it's fun. Which powers you use doesn't really matter, it's all flavor. Just distribute your upgrade points however, I suggest evenly. My biggest complaint is charge up powers take WAY too long to charge to the point they are unfeasible in combat, that said often uncharged they one hit elite foes so...

The DLC skins add a nice touch of wacky/sexy but ultimatley it's just cool to have gun and sword skins if nothing else $5 or $6 to an Indie Dev for some skins in the Gold Version over Standard is no biggie to me.

This game definitely shares elements of many of the popular movement shooters these days but it is much easier/more forgiving even on hard difficulty. That said it needs some help with respawns, please do not respawn me in front of a moving sword thank you. And lord help you if you don't learn to parry or learn boss patterns. You can parry a boss, and you should.

There is a forced stealth section (technically I went Michael Meyers at the end so you don't auto fail it if you get caught) and I actually was thinking right before it the game could benefit from an option to use stealth before combat encounters. The game just feels right for it. That's the biggest missed opportunity I see. OPTIONAL stealth for the whole game.

Tips: The pistol's alt fire is a greanade launcher. Use it coupiously. Most alt fires provide knockback.

I had but one hit point left. "Put an end to it lest I derive too much joy from this agony!" I cried at the unspeakable one. With rapturous fury is came down upon me but alas my horrid blade was too fast. I left it's dive corps there, the ecstasy of my agony still afflicting me.

But honestly, this is everything I was looking for in a skill based action adventure game. The combat is responsive and has a great rhythm of dodges, parrys and special moves all enhanced with unshockable skills. The atmosphere of the world is grotesque and beautiful, with animations and attention to detail that elevate it well past being just a pixel based retro game.

This season is definetely better than the first season, choices finally mattered! Could have loved it more if i could save Joker from murdering people at all in the vigilante path but i guess telltale cares about canon when they want even if its completely unnecessary given how far its from original already. At least i hope theres some sort of hope for him in my ending, so season 3 needs to bring me more of them being buddies, if its coming ofc, but considering you can give up being Batman idk how it will work.

Liked all of the other characters too and voice acting is awesome as usual, Selina is a good character, but i hated how i couldnt just stay friends with her, they kept pushing romance with her and if you reject its always harsh and you always end up enemies like wtf...at least if you dont sacrifice her she more or less saves you at the end so thanks for that. i just would have loved to see more queer main relationships in telltale games, as im queer myself, or at least dont push so much of heterosexuality in my face lol

Batman – The Telltale Series is probably the best version of the Batman story I've experienced in any media: the multiple plot twists, tragic villains you feel sorry for and the exploration of the thin line between good and evil are really what makes the game stand out. To complement the gripping plot, the game has a top-notch soundtrack by Telltale's composer, Jared Emerson-Johnson and there are even some minor tweaks to the gameplay thanks to the new crime scene investigation and attack plan segments.

Unfortunately, the game does suffer from what every Telltale adventure I've played since The Walking Dead suffers from which includes laggy animations, lip-synching issues and audio issues. If the game were better polished, it would've received a higher score but even in its current state, I would still recommend it.

This game instantly captures your attention will amazing movement. Silky-smooth, responsive and dashingly fast.
Visuals are great! Great balance of retro low-poly and attention to details.
Audio is really good and I already regret not buying the version with the soundtrack. Dear GOG, let us buy the soundtrack separately, please! :)
Level design is what you'd expect from good old-school games: balanced, simple yet sophisticated.
The 'exploration' hits all the right buttons! Finding a small hidden area and hearing the acknowledging sound is pure dopamine! :)
Weapons, enemies, all feel so damn great.
The only thing I slightly dislike so far are the in-game fonts, they hard to read, but you won't do much reading here, since it's not a text-based RPG, so not much of an issue.

Money well spent!
