The thing is, it's hard to blame Valve because there has been a lack of competition for many years and thus it hasn't had to do anything to remain in the top seat.īut these issues still arose and it's not something I can overlook. Valve takes far too long in recognizing issues and doesn't really take the community into account when it comes to implementing solutions. This may shock avid fans of the platform, but Steam just doesn't appear to understand me. Thus, I see it as a match made in heaven. I love games, and I know CD Projekt loves games.

The beauty of word of mouth, as you are experiencing with this piece. They found by attempting to get these gamers on their side they not only eventually made a sale in cases but transformed them into a fantastic and reliable source of free promotion. They were always trying to do good, add a lot of value, give free DLC, give free content, that I bought the game from them when it was mid-price.' I've seen many times, comments 'Hey, I couldn't afford the game when it was full price, but these guys are so fair, and they were never against us. I would recommend it to any Hotline Miami fan, tho I'm not sure if I can say the same about Half Life fans.We totally believe in the carrot, not in the stick. It only ever crashed once in my entire playthrough on a Win11 machine. Gravity gun is also not a guaranteed one hit kill but it was also how it worked in Half Life so it's fine. My only problem was the reaction time of the enemies, they will instantly flick and shoot without any delay even if they are facing the opposite direction. I also like the idea of the game taking place in a City-17-ish Miami.

It's already way closer to Hotline Miami than Half Life 2, if we could pick up enemy weapons it would straight up be Hotline Miami with different textures. The gravity gun is fun to use and I don't think it being the only weapon hurts the gameplay. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics blend the style of both games quite well and the soundtrack is awesome (tho it would be even better if it was a mashup of Half Life and Hotline Miami style instead of just synthwave, or maybe synthwave remixes of the Half Life 2 OST) I don't understand the hate this game gets.
