Hotline Miami 2 is the brutal follow-up the the indie sensation Hotline Miami and it was previously confirmed to be coming to Linux.

It looks to be just as fantastic and nuts as the first one with plenty of face-punching and blood-spilling, as with the first one the graphics haven't changed and are as vibrant as ever.

I still haven't played more than 5 minutes of the first one, should I?

It reminded me a bit of the old Grand Theft Auto games with the view-point and with the graphical style. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I quite enjoyed the first game and would recommend you continue if you enjoyed the gameplay at all. It had a slightly interesring story that made you think throughout. One of the few games I can proudly say I actually beat.

The first one is in my top ten favorite games list. It's probably my favorite indie game. You should definitely play it.

So excited :D I loved the first for it's addictive gameplay and gritty surreal atmosphere (not to mention one of my favorite soundtracks). I'm sure the sequel won't disappoint.

was hoping for a trailer with footage shot with a video camera like for the first game. Those trailers were awesome.

Great music in the middle of this trailer! Gameplay is too violent for my taste though.

It's a good game got it from the humble bundle, I like the gameplay - requiring good skills. Final boss was also really hard to beat too which was good. One of the better story driven small indie games out there (my favourite of which is Bastion). KSP and Star Citizen don't count in that category.

Didn't know how they'd continue the story but then I read wikipedia and was like .. oh.

the original is great; in fact I didn't even find the core gameplay that fun, but the "story" is great. you have no idea what's real and what isn't, you don't know why you're responding to these calls and killing these people, all you know is that you have to push deeper, not because if you get deep enough things will make sense (there's no hope for understanding or redemption) but because you can't turn back

if you like david lynch you will love this game. conversely if you like this game you should check out david lynch.
