Hotline Miami was released in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim. It covers the deranged and life of a contract killer through abstract, intoxicated and deeply gruesome events.
Gamespot's Hotline Miami review praised the game as a "discotheque of death that's very hard to walk away from, and a fantastic twitch shooter with a confident sense of style".
