Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
147 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So don't get me wrong, don't expect I don't know what but to straight up come with a somewhat cohesive story as opposed to a non existant one in HM is just amazing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To oversimplify, Hotline Miami 2 wildly opens up the level size compared to the first game, arms substantially more enemies with guns, uses substantially more windows to remove positions of hard cover, and makes each section before a checkpoint substantially larger.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel art is more detailed, the animations are fantastic, and the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Weapons balanced and finishers is enough for a short game also you can use any ability in any level you want.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is more interesting and i have to say second game has better graphics or visual design.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has tons of new mechanics like new weapons, playable characters, and perks, and the level designs are varied enough that you don't get bored of the same designs during its 20 playable scenes, not even counting the workshop for new levels and mechanics, although I haven't tried that yet.
