To its credit, Hotline Miami 2 isn’t just “more of the same.” But that’s also its biggest problem.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is going to get stick. Critics aren’t going to slate it because it’s violent; that’s part and parcel for this series. They aren’t going to cane it because it’s not fun to play – because the opposite is actually true. They aren’t even going to give it a kicking because it has a rather nasty opening scene in which it appears a female character is about to get raped, and even though she doesn’t, you have to wonder in the wider context of the game’s David Lynchian plot whether such a horrible scene was either necessary or warranted.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a great game and a worthy sequel. It’s more confident in its style, storytelling ability, and level design than the first game. It has enough depth to stand on its own, but also manages to nail a balanced variety of new and old Hotline Miami goodness for fans who want both.
