Steam Deck - Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number (2015) 15 Minutes Gameplay (With FPS Meter)
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a top-down shooter video game co-developed by Dennaton Games and Abstraction Games, and published by Devolver Digital. It takes place before, during and after the events of Hotline Miami, focusing on the backstory and aftermath of the previous protagonist Jacket's massacres against the Russian mafia in Miami at the behest of anonymous tips left by his answering machine. The events are told from the perspective of several different characters in numerous different locations.
The game was originally conceived as downloadable content for the original game following its commercial success, though planning was turned into a standalone sequel within ten days. It was formally announced at E3 2013, and after a few delays, released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux on 10 March 2015. Versions for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita released the same day in North America, a day later in Europe, and on June 25 of the same year in Japan in the form of the Hotline Miami: Collected Edition. An Android port was released on August 4 of the same year.
The game received a generally positive response from critics, though was rated generally lower than the first game. The soundtrack was received very positively, while the narrative and changes to gameplay and level design received a mixed response. A largely negative response was directed towards a scene of depicted sexual assault, which resulted in the game being banned in Australia. The game was ported onto Nintendo Switch alongside the first game in the Hotline Miami Collection on 19 August 2019, which was later ported onto the Xbox One and Stadia on 7 April and 22 September respectively in 2020.
