This is an interesting game, it'll piss you off, beat your ass and make you go into cardiac arrest but after that stint is put into your heart you'll be right back. it's addictive and not like anything else you can find. Highly recommend, the music is strong and really envelopes you in the emotion it's trying to invoke be it misery, happiness, pain or worry.
I wish they would stop working on updates like farm animals and work on more important things like npcs that they've been working on for over a year now.

I like this game a lot the characters are all so believable and they made the main character so likable, I really enjoy the combat it feels like it has weight and impact. This game I could only get to run on low but other than ground textures it looks good
The sound design is perfect I love the music and the voices the characters have are all wonderful.
Before I got this game I thought it looked awkward and clunky and the running kind of is and horses control horribly but, the combat starts out really awkward but gets smoother later on.
I love medieval games so maybe I'm biased
8/10 the only bug I ran into that was bad was when my horse ran into some bushes and when I tried to get off him I was stuck and the horse would no longer move so I had to restart.

This game is fun, personally if you liked the first game you'll probably like this one, it's more of the same stuff but with shinier graphics and more polish, though I feel like prototype 1 had more combo potential than this one.

The banner for this game is showing one of the main characters dying in a nuclear explosion, pretty crazy how they got away with that.

Gamplay 7/10 {it's a step up in smoothness and everything just working better from HM but the focus on gunplay is not a welcome addition}

Soundtrack 10/10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you know I thought hotline miami's was amazing and there was no way it could be topped but this? This tops it 10X what a great soundtrack.

Level design 7/10 Since i believe level design is extremely important in this type of game it hurts me that most of the levels just feel like long corridors, that being said the levels that don't revolve around corridors and glass enemies will shoot you off screen through are pretty great possibly even better than the ones in HM. That drug trip level is great and I love alot of the levels in this game especially evan's.

Story 8/10 This is a great story, it doesn't really tie up any loose ends from the first one and a lot of things are really questionable as to what is and isn't happening, the idea to make Richard more of a deuteragonist to everyone and not just jacket is wonderful, it takes the mind games to a whole other level.

Overall i'd say if you liked hotline miami 1 you'll love this game, the corridors and the glass everywhere will really grind your gears at first but you'll get used to it and make it your strength over the enemy.

This game is truly something else, it paints a bigger picture without ever showing any ink.
The levels are all challenging and really enjoyable, If you've heard about holiness Miami you've heard how good the music is.
I would recommend you not play this all at once but instead maybe one or two levels at a time, I never found it repetitive that way.
There is nothing bad I can say about this game other than the fact I'm still not sure what happened when the biker helmet guy fought the main character, he's in the second game and we see from both sides they think they killed the other person.

This game is great, a very good callback to theif with alot of exploration and multiple ways to take out your enemies, love this game so much.

I'm really starting to like this game even if fighting hoards of enemies is annoying

Better than season 2 not as good as season 1.

Do not buy this unoptimized pile of garbage.
