Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A bigger, harder, story-heavy sequel with a superb soundtrack and many characters. Large open levels and off-screen deaths frustrate many; skip it if you want the first game's tight flow.
Great for
Hotline Miami 1 fans who love punishing difficulty, great music and a layered story
Main risk
Huge, window-filled levels where unseen enemies kill you, making it feel unfair and slow

“The story itself is far more ambitious than the first game as there are multiple different characters with intersecting storylines told in a non-linear fashion”
