The Hong Kong Massacre

It can get repetitive, but is good for some mindless fun. Don't expect any complex story or mechanism.

"I like doves. They look so beautiful, like a woman. For me they represent peace and love and purity".

There's no need for this game to be as good as Hotline Miami. It's a great addition to the genre. Hotline Miami is indeed a masterpiece and has a depth that The Hong Kong Massacre lacks. But it is a great game nonetheless. The slow motion is a great gimmick that almost kills the gameplay. Once you get the hang of it the game gets too easy. So much that the middle part of the game feels repetitive. Only in the last part of the game the difficulty increases (the number of enemies and the challenging angles you need to use to kill them) and the fun is back. You lack the visibility you have in Hotline Miami, since you cannot move the map around you at all and the environment can be confusing at times but I guess it was intended this way as part of the difficulty. All in all a great game.

Here is the most basic and honest review you are going to get. The game is just as cool and fun as it looks. Its just as basic as it looks. its worth it if it looks like your kind of game. anyone who is complaining about the game is just straight up whining because its hard. its supposed to be hard. if you are going to want a game where you don't die a lot there are all sorts of games on steam you can find. just search baby games and you'll find plenty. This game is like better looking Miami hotline in China. simple as that. If you plan on using a controller its going to be harder so keep that in mind. other than that pop some headphones on listen to some good stuff and rip it. Its a good time. its 20$. you've spent 20$ on dumber things. its 20$ for mcdonalds now man. Its your life though.

This game is right on the fence. Its hotline miami but with John Woo diving and slow mo. Theres 4 total guns, none of them that exciting. You unlock increased ammo, clip size, and fire rate, again nothing exciting. There is the annoyance of being shot off screen from the limited view window but its much less so. The story is also non existent and theres just a bunch of awkward cutscenes of you driving. Every boss fight is the exact same. Also every level feels similar and repetitive with no real changes to the format or level design. But on the flip side when youre diving through windows slow mo gunning everyone down the game does feel fun and provides that John Wick power fantasty. Theres also difficulty modifiers which help with increasing slow mo and make the game more playable. Overall its not bad, but also nothing too remarkable. Just barely gets a recommend. 6.5/10.

fun game clearly inspired by hotline miami, max payne and john woo movies. thought the setting was cool story was decent even if theres not much to it the bullet time along with sliding/cartwheels gave it something new when comparing it to hotline miami and its also 3D graphics.

Just simple fun, combat feels very satisfying as you blast down doors and roll through windows. Cutscenes left a little to be desired but then again you're not playing this game for the cutscenes

Pretty fun game, I enjoy it for being easy to learn but a challenge to play. What I would like to see done better is challenges, who wants to every level with the same challenge? Weak! Needs more varied challenges, collections, and a much better story. Would like to see survival mode, power ups, more weapons, more destructible environments, etc. But hey, the core game is fun!
