2013.17: Hotline Miami



Completed in ~5 hours

Well what can I say...the gameplay is crack, graphics and presentation is so stylish and awesome, a very cool story, the gore system is masterfully done to fit in oh so perfectly, and for me the best soundtrack after TLOU this gen, simply amazing tunes in there that keep you wrapped up in that world.

The variety of ways you can approach situations and the satisfaction you get when you plan an attack and execute it perfectly is so freaking awesome.
Things like quickly shotgunning two enemies with your last two bullets, running around a corner to hide from the gunfire that drew, picking up one of the dead enemies' knife, coming out of cover and as soon as you do, throwing the knife into the enemy with the gun is just so freakin' awesome.
It's the coolest scenes from every great action movie put into one and you get to plan and pull them off. So so cool.

I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this game other than the Friends leaderboard is not working right but that's not even close to stopping this game from getting an 'exceptional' rating.

Overall this was just pure game goodness injected right into my veins and it just put me into that gaming zen perfectly.

10/10.
