Feb. 2026

I was in two minds about this when I first played, I really enjoyed the presentation of the game, visually great. I enjoyed the story for the most part, I never really play these games for the story but it was serviceable, with great style and acting it helps. My only personal issue with the game is that checkpoints would be great when encountering animal enemies. You would beat an entire level for a bear/tiger to just one hit you with pretty much no warning it was going to happen until you replayed it. I know the nature of these games are die quick, learn fast, but that design bothered me because it felt like a 'gotcha' moment. I have no issues with some levels that do it, but it felt like oh I've done this same section over and over and this one particular enemy resets me again and again. All in all though, due to it's style and gameplay, I still really enjoyed it. It's inspirations are from other great titles so if you love Hot Line Miami, Max Paynes narration this is your cup of tea. There is a lot of passion present in this game and I respect the hell of the dev for it! With modifiers the game is a lot more replayable too!

short but sweet, a cool little time waster for when life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in.

Short, sweet, and super fun. If you like: Hotline Miami, Anger foot, DEADBOLT. Then this is another one to add to the collection of ultra violent goodness. 7/10 Really solid

Feb. 2026

Not much to say. Hotline Miami was the best game ever. Hotline Miami 2 was an amazing sequel. This is Hotline Miami 3.

I’m only on the 7th mission but WOW. This game’s combat is MAGNETIC. The writing, voice acting and art are sublime. If you’re debating on picking this game up, DO IT! You will not regret it. I am playing on the Steam Deck with 0 issues.
