- 2012's best indie game is yours for a measly $2, and it rocks - 23 October 2023
Hotline Miami is one of the most brutal and best-sounding indie games ever made. The techno and vaporwave aesthetic melds with quick top-down violence to create something people still play to this day, and you can grab it for $2 on Steam. If you're one of the people with a Steam Deck, Hotline Miami - and the sequel - are games you don't want to miss. Read the rest of the story...

- Devolver Digital showcase confirmed for E3 2021 - 5 June 2021
Indie publisher Devolver Digital will host an E3 livestream at 9.30pm UK time on Saturday, 12th June. It's part of Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. There's no word on what to expect from the show, although I suspect it will follow the same unhinged theme of previous Devolver Digital E3 shows. Read more
- Hotline Miami dev's next game may horrify or delight you, depending - 1 January 2021
In 2020, Hotline Miami and its sequel were ported to Xbox One and Google Stadia. As clocks rolled over to 2021, one of the developers behind the indie games spoke a little about his new project, and it sounds exactly like you'd expect. In a vague tweet, Jonatan Söderström says the upcoming game is something a little more personal, and that reactions will likely be extreme, and mixed. "I wish I could write about what we're working on," He says. "It is a passion project so I'm not sure who will enjoy it. But I'm sure some people will be horrified and others delighted!" Since it's 2021, that means it's nine years since Hotline Miami first launched. The surreal, ultra-violent action-adventure game was a massive hit on PC and console, helping put Devolver Digital on the map as a publisher. Söderström and developer Dennaton Games made a follow-up, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, released in 20…
- Games of the Decade: Hotline Miami - filth, fetish, and the only video game parable - 28 November 2019
Oh man, Hotline Miami. I can still feel it. What a cutting, embarrassingly necessary parable of violence. What a way to stand on the shoulders of Shadow of the Colossus, by taking that moral throughline and wrapping it, head to toe, in the trappings of its time. What's weird, though, is I think parables are a bit rubbish. More often than not a parable will do somewhere between most and all of the work for you. You'll finish up - watching, reading, playing, whatever - and you'll know exactly what it is that you just consumed, what the point of it was, and what you need to do next, which is usually nothing. Hotline Miami, a lot of the time, is at real threat of falling into that trap. You are summoned, via anonymous phone call, into a series of ultra-violent raids on various bad guy hideouts, and you obviously oblige. It's 2012 so naturally, Drive still fresh in the mind, this is set in t…
- Watch us play 21 games from the last 20 years - 6 September 2019
OK, so I know Eurogamer's actual birthday was two days ago , but as is our style, the Eurogamer video team is once again Late to the (birthday) Party. Over the past three years, we've been introducing each other to our favourite (and/or least favourite) games from yesteryear as part of our Late to the Party series. During that time we've shared our love (and/or hatred) for over one hundred and fifty different games and thanks to this, we've been able to make a compilation episode of LTTP that features one game from every year that Eurogamer has been alive. In this video, Aoife, Zoe and I are joined by some friendly video team faces from the past (who?!) as we play our way through the 20 years worth of games, including 1999's Dino Crisis, 2006's Gears of War and 2017's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Basically, if you want a healthy dose of nostalgia (or just want to feel rather old) this…
- The messy story behind the Hotline Miami mod that never was - 13 August 2019
It's four in the morning on 18th February 2017, and a 19-year-old modder and writer named Spencer Yan is sitting in his college dorm at his computer, with a server full of Discord users eager for him to drop the latest update for Midnight Animal, a total conversion mod and original story built upon the bloodstained, bullet-riddled blueprints of Hotline Miami. At this point, Yan has worked on Midnight Animal for over a year. The project has grown from a Mod DB page and some well received YouTube trailers to being greenlit on Steam. He has permission from developers Dennaton Games to use the source code, and an entire community of engaged and supportive Hotline Miami fans behind him. What the community isn't yet aware of is the drastic creative reimagining the project has undergone in the time since they last saw an update. A transformation from what its creator describes as a "comically…
- Hotline Miami teaser promises trailer soon (updated) - 5 August 2019
Update: The Twitter account and teaser are not official. Hotline Miami developer Dennaton confirmed that no sequel was in development, unfortunately. It's still a neat teaser and the full trailer should be worth keeping an eye out for. Original story: A new Twitter account referencing Hotline Miami 's original protagonist popped up over the weekend, posting a single video. It's a short, slick and appropriately gory teaser of a fight frozen in time that perfectly matches the series' tone and aesthetic, even though it appears to be live action. It ends with the promise of a trailer coming soon.  Though it's clearly connected to Hotline Miami, it could be a fan film or some other kind of unofficial project. The Twitter account is new, unverified and, while it follows some people involved with the game, it has hardly any followers. It does link back to the Hotl…

- Humble fall sale includes Titan Souls, Enter the Gungeon, Hollow Knight and other great indies - 21 November 2017

- Steam weekly sale includes bloody good deals on Hotline Miami and They Bleed Pixels - 7 November 2017
Over 500 games are discounted on Steam this week, a sizable chunk of which are visual novels and cutesy anime games. But if gratuitous violence is more your thing, allow me to direct your attention to two of the sales' best games and steepest discounts: the Hotline Miami combo pack and They Bleed Pixels .  Hotline Miami is a gory top-down action game about murdering gangsters in a chicken mask. As our own Graham Smith said in his review , it's "a tight, efficient game" that encourages brutal creativity and lives by trial-and-error. Through Monday, November 13, you can pick up the original Hotline Miami and the sequel, Wrong Number, for $6.79. Note that the individual games aren't discounted, so you have to buy the bundle. Luckily, the bundle is cheaper than either individual game.  In a similarly grisly vein, 2D platformer They Bleed Pixels is available for $2&#…

- How synthwave music inspired games to explore a past that never existed - 4 October 2017
In 2013 French electronic musician Kavinsky released a 13-track album of squelchy synths and triumphant lead lines called OutRun. It reveled in the forgotten sounds of 1980s movie scores, and the Ferrari Testarossa and palm trees on its cover referenced the 1986 arcade game the album took its title from. It’s an impeccably composed image so stylized it doesn't really resemble the game it's named after. That’s the synthwave ethos: taking elements of a period of '80s excess millennials find irresistibly evocative, and modernizing them so they're just barely recognizable. As Robert Parker (a Swedish producer responsible for albums like Drive Sweat Play) told Time Out , "Synthwave is nostalgia with selective memory loss... don’t really try to imitate the sounds 100 per cent, but rather take out some of the essential parts and put it in a modern conte…
- Hot line Mi ami: Mr Shifty out today - 13 April 2017
Top-down puncher Hotline Miami had brutality and baseball bats, but you know what it didn t have? Teleportation. That is how I imagine most videogames are created. Just one man in a tie who is approached by developers like an oracle and who says: “do X but with Y.” Mr Shifty is about smashing through crowds of people while using a blink-like teleporting skill to dodge bullets and blows. It s out today and, like its masked mate from the 80s, it s all viewed from above. It looks hectic, but you can see that for yourself in the trailer below. …
- Get Hotline Miami, Olliolli, Titan Souls and Not A Hero for less than 10 in Humble's Devolver Digital sale - 7 March 2017
The ever-outlandish Devolver Digital has teamed up with The Humble Store this week to give us the aptly named Devolver Digital week —a sale period which sees up to 85 percent off a selection of the publisher's games.  Big hitters such as Hotline Miami, its equally brutal and stylish sequel Wrong Number, and philosophy puzzler The Talos Principle are all worth a punt if you're yet to play them—going for £1.39, £2.99 and £7.49 (or your regional equivalent) respectively, with 75-80 percent discounts.  Not a Hero and Broforce are another two of my favourites listed, both of which are subject to 75 percent reductions at £2.49 and £2.99 in turn; while the gun-tastic bullet-hell shooter Enter the Gungeon is half price at £5.49. The "point and click hugventure" Dropsy is another good shout at just £1.74, and, if you're ex…
