This week’s Dissecting Design takes us to the stylized and brutal world of Hotline Miami.
I talked about how they grew things with Hotline Miami 2, and in some cases, not for the better.
Please note that the game features very graphic imagery compared to other dissecting designs in this playlist; making this one not the best to watch if there are kids around.
