What is Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number?

A fast-paced, top-down action game set in the 1980s, with pixel graphics and a single-player campaign that shifts among several factions. You clear violent levels with guns and melee attacks as intersecting stories trace the consequences of the first game's bloodshed.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy demanding combat built around quick restarts
  • +you like nonlinear stories with multiple playable perspectives
  • +you value pixel art and a prominent soundtrack

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike gore and frequent violent deaths
  • −you prefer compact levels without offscreen threats
  • −you want a forgiving or relaxed action game

What players say

94% of 79,274 reviews are positive · 95% of 821 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the soundtrack, intersecting storylines, and combat flow when a level goes cleanly. Their main complaint is the larger, more open level design, which they say leads to frequent deaths from enemies outside the visible screen and feels less fair than the first game.
