i wouldn't know since i don't have it but maybe you didn't practice enough? if i were you, i'd 100% the first game first. also it's funny how you're unhappy with it, yet it's your favorite game according to your steam profile.

Err, I can't say that I am...

I prefer this one rather than the first. So far I'm not finding anything too difficult or unfair. The twins Alex and Ash were a little frustrating to maneuver at times, but they don't have many levels anyways.

Git gud scrub.

You have to embrace a bit different mindset to this game. The first playtrough is agonizing but for the second you'll start experimenting and get higher ranks.

I'm actually really enjoying it. It's definitely more fun to me and far more harder although I have to admit other than huge levels and being unable to see some enemies I don't have any other problems with it. It also seems to be more story based than the first, this puts a lot of the pieces of the puzzle together.

Yes, I'm a little bit frustrated with this game, everything you're pointing out are issues that were not here in the first game. I'm not against difficulty, but yeah, being killed by enemies off-screen, it's a really poor game design choice. I'd 100% the first one, I'm not sure if I'll do the same for this one, way too broken for me.

I think the main thing is, you can't cheese levels with a single weapon like in the first game. If you want to keep your combo, you'll have to switch between melee and guns quite a lot. It's definitely harder, but I wouldn't say it's unfair. Enemy AI was already pretty brutal in the original too. I'm playing hard mode at the moment, and it's... well, sometimes I wanna weep like a little girl.
What I love most about HM2 is how it blends its trademark violent gameplay and a very emotional storyline. Also, this music !

Completed it last night. The story absolutely blew my mind when I figured everything out. Didn't like much of the level design, felt somewhat forced to cheese out enemies because some levels were just too huge. The masks were kinda meh, too gimmicky. All in all, it's still a good game, not as good as the original.

Enemies: HM2 enemies didn't changed much. Biggest changes are "door-stuck bug" and "running at you when they see you running between walls". But melee enemies are the same as they were, ranged enemies could shoot you out of map in HM1, dogs are as vicious as they were.

The reason why you think enemies are harder is because of level design, which I also believe doesn't really work some times - they made way too many open (and bigger) levels while giving nearly all enemies ranged weapons. You don't have much space to hide, bullets fly from out of view range and while most of HM1 levels could be won using melee weapons, HM2 wants you to play "peak-a-boo with a shotgun" game.

Anyway, liking it so far (probably just finished son story, since I got achievo).

Same as you. I lost interest in Act 3 .. or VHS tape 3 .. whatever it was called. I got tired and quit, returned the next day only to find I've to do the whole thing all over again and it was like half an hour of the same frustrating levels. Ugh. Have you done the levels where the fans enter a building and you change chars between the floors? Awful. The game at very least needs more save points if not tweaks to the levels.

Also don't like that guns are pretty much compulsory. I played the first game like 95% of the time with melee.

The enemies are crazy. They shoot at you from OUTSIDE of visual range. Most of the time you won't even see what shot you. The dogs behave like heat seeking missiles. The melee enemies seem to be trained by Bruce Lee. *
I LOLed a lot with this D: You are explaining some pretty realistic features i was hoping to find in the game, the game just become more realistic and harder, that is not bad, is GOOD very very GOOD, now i want it moar D: Disregard your Hotline Miami 2, give it to me D:

P.S: Dont be casuals, enjoy the game! or go play CoD with the millions of savepoints and dumbs ai D:

Ні, гарна дуже гра. Мені подобаєтся.

And I've finished the game.

I haven't played i yet, only the first one, but I read somewhere that HM2 picks up in difficulty where HM was finished.

I've beaten first 4 levels so far and I love it even more than the first one. So I don't think I'll agree with you.

I beat it and didn't think it was that bad.

gonna make sure to buy it as soon as its on sle

Is it frustrating? Yes. Spending 40-50 minutes in the later levels to get a D+ rating doesn't lift my spirits. But it's supposed to be unforgiving. They wanted the sequel to be harder than the first one. And that's what they got. The hardest levels in the first game were the ones with multiple enemies with guns, open spaces, and lots of windows. So they made the sequel even harder by adding more windows and more open spaces. But they did what they wanted, what good sequels do: take the concept of the first game and do more with it in the sequel.

I'm 11 hours in and in the Son's levels and I think it's a great game. Frustrating, yes, unforgiving, yes. But I still think it's a great game. Like I said, getting straight D+ ratings doesn't lift my spirits. But conquering a level after spending nearly an hour at it does, just like in the first game. Finishing the first level with Alex and Ash in 90 seconds doesn't hurt, either. The general message I see from the negative reviews are "it's not exactly like the first game." Like I said, they took the first game's formula and added to it. And I think it works.

Completed Get a Life Achievement and 100% but I don´t own HM2 but,it doesn´t look THAT hard.Maybe I´m wrong.

No.

I just wanted one thing: the level editor :c
