Hotline Miami Collection is a compilation of two retro action games that resembles the first installment of the Grand Theft Auto series. In both titles, the game is shown in top-down view, and all the fun is focused on killing enemies in subsequent locations. Dennaton Games is responsible for developing both titles.
Hotline Miami is a title set in in an alternative version of Miami in 1989. The plot revolves around mysterious messages recorded on the answering machine of the main character of the game. Under their influence, the protagonist decides to commit subsequent acts of violence. The title was originally introduced to the market on October 23, 2012.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a direct continuation of its predecessor. It was launched on the market on March 10, 2015. The action of the title is set after the arrest of the protagonist of the first installment and focuses on the consequences of his actions. In this case, the player does not assume the role of a single person. Instead, they take control of several different, seemingly unrelated people. But with time it turns out that they are closely connected with each other.
The two games forming Hotline Miami Collection offer pixel art visuals, which additionally refer to the style of the 80's. Locations are bathed in neon light, which makes them shine with characteristic, sharp colors.

If you missed the second game’s release, this package is well worth getting. My competitiveness has waned over the years, so I’m happy just to get through each level, but there is definitely depth on offer if you choose to knuckle down and perfect each murder box.

The Hotline Miami Collection is an uneven package.
Thumb Culture: 10 / 10 by Callum Bowen
So what did you think of the Hotline Miami Collection on the Switch Callum? I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Hotline Miami Collection, I can now say I am a big fan and will easily be replaying this for some time. I think the Hotline Miami Collection really suits being on the switch and am a bit surprised it hasn’t come out sooner. I am already looking forward to playing it this weekend and to re-step back into the shoes of “Jacket”…wish me luck. All that said I will be easily giving the Hotline Miami Collection a Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
