What was immediately appealing about Hotline Miami to me is that it has a packaged sort of nostalgic vibe. The game eventually calls attention to this, and has a slight metanarrative about the manner in which action games quite often call a player to inflict untold amounts of violence upon strangers – which is then even further played with in the second game. Before I ever played the game, it was presented to me as an interesting paradigm of facing the consequences of your actions – every level makes you kill untold numbers of faceless goons but then, mission accomplished, you have to leave the level, walking over the trail of bodies and blood that your actions left. The first game is a masterclass in interesting game design and (initially) wordless messaging. It is too difficult to select one of the two games, so I’m going to instead discuss the series as a whole. Then, launch the game, go to Editor, and you should see at first the single levels, hit Escape and move left to select campaigns.Īs always, huge thanks and respect to every mod and level author whose talented work is included in this compilation.Round 2 of my games of the decade series is going to visit a title I already wrote about before – Hotline Miami. Uncompress the zip file to /My Documents/My Games/HotlineMiami2/ keeping folder structure, so that the /Levels/campaigns and /Levels/single folders are created right there. Just get this big file (5 GB), everything is in it: link outdated, see next post This takes just a couple minutes and it's really worth it to appreciate campaigns the way their author intended. How do you install a custom music mod? Get the hlm2_music_desktop.wad file from the campaign's "music" folder, then copy it to your base Hotline Miami 2 folder (I suggest you previously rename the original file so it doesn't get overwritten, that way you can go back to the game's awesome soundtrack any time you like).
NEW UPDATE!!! 104 Campaigns, 268 Single levels!Īnd this time, something extra: custom music is already included in the zip file (for those campaigns that do have a custom soundtrack, like Real Human Bean 2) EDIT: Get the final update, check this post
