THE GOODS
Miami, 1989. You receive a mysterious voicemail on your answering machine – and before you know what's going on, you're covered in blood standing over a slew of mangled bodies. This is only the beginning.
Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the city's criminal underworld.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Besides receiving tons of critical acclaim on the indie game circuit, Hotline Miami brings heart-pumping excitement and gruesome Kill Bill–style violence – reminiscent of the original Grand Theft Auto – to your computer screen.
Addicting as all get-out, this fast and furious top-down shooter makes you feel like a kid in a candy store at the beginning of every level – except you're a man, with a large amount of weaponry.
