Both transgressive and subversive, Hotline Miami and its sequel are both much smarter games that I’ve seen some quarters give them credit for, and brought together into one package for the Switch is a good bit of the ol’ ultra-violence.

If video games taught me anything, it's that senseless violence is fun. Okay, perhaps that isn't true but it's definitely the case in Hotline Miami.
The Digital Fix: 9 / 10 by Lloyd Coombes
Hotline Miami and its sequel stand the test of time as two titles built around an excellent combat loop while offering so much more as well. The visuals, soundtrack, and kinetic combat combine to form one of the greatest indie titles in history - and one still worth playing in 2019.
Hotline Miami Collection Description
Hotline Miami Collection is a compilation of two retro action games that resembles the first installment of the Grand Theft Auto series. In both titles, the game is shown in top-down view, and all the fun is focused on killing enemies in subsequent locations. Dennaton Games is responsible for developing both titles.
Hotline Miami Collection includes:
Hotline Miami is a title set in in an alternative version of Miami in 1989. The plot revolves around mysterious messages recorded on the answering machine of the main character of the game. Under their influence, the protagonist decides to commit subsequent acts of violence. The title was originally introduced to the market on October 23, 2012.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a direct continuation of its predecessor. It was launched on the market on March 10, 2015. The action of the title is set after the arrest of the protagonist of the first installment and focuses on the consequences of his actions. In this case, the player does not assume the role of a single person. Instead, they take control of several different, seemingly unrelated people. But with time it turns out that they are closely connected with each other.
Technical aspects
The two games forming Hotline Miami Collection offer pixel art visuals, which additionally refer to the style of the 80's. Locations are bathed in neon light, which makes them shine with characteristic, sharp colors.
