Pass: Not my type of game.

This was one of the best action games I have ever played (I started with Unreal in 1998).

I would probably rank this my #2 action game (#1 being the original Unreal Tournament).

• The game is just soaked with delicious cyberpunk Akira-meets-BladeRunner atmosphere
• Soundtrack is so ingenious that I still listen to it on repeat, about a year after playing the game, and it doesn't get old

Long story short, this is not just a yet another Hotline Miami knockoff. Definitely GOTY 2017 for me.

addictive as hell! couldn't get enough of this game. thank god there's an arena mode.

I'll have to give this one a pass, the gameplay is nice enough but music was  a miss for me, the story is just boring and the ending "twist", if you can call it that is just outright stupid.

 

For a better game of similar style and gameplay, I would recommend Hotline miami 1 & 2

It's alright for a single-run beat-em-up/shooter; get on sale and enjoy the soundtrack and fights.

the ending isn't lame, it just doesn't make any goddamn sense. the best way to enjoy this game is to ignore the story and simply get immersed in the carnage.
