so, spent like an hour and a half with hotline miami 2
not sure what i think of it, everything seems to be a lot more elaborate, from the menus to the time jumping story to the excessive dialogue to just the super expanded blood spatter crap
i'm interested but that's about it, it's one of the games i've been looking forward to trying for myself this year and i knew it was gonna be a weird one, so not much of a surprise
i do appreciate the whole multiple points of view stuff and just how they expand on the themes of the first one. i really like that, and i like that they bound some gameplay stuff to the character you play, that's very cool
i find the soundtrack to be less iconic so far, maybe a bit less trippy? i dunno how to put it, but it definitely feels distinct from the first one's, which again i like
def gonna play some more tomorrow, now that i sit down and think about it i think i'm mostly pleased with it
wish there were less guns
