Hotline Miami 1 or 2? Which should I buy?

[Vazeyo]

I just want to get one of them because they seem to similar to actually play both. Which do you prefer? Heared the soundtrack of both is phenomenal, but which is better? Which is longer to play? Which is more varied? Although Miami 1 is cheaper I consider to buy Hotline Miami 2. Thanks in advice! ;-)

if you can just get one of them get the first one because the story is great and you would have no clue what is going on if you get the second one. That and i have a place in my heart for one of the masks that isnt in 2, well that its power isnt in 2.

Hotline Miami 1 is the best but it feels like Hotline Miami 2 wrong number has more content and it also has the map creator and workshop.

All you have to do is do what i did and read the write up on the store page for the first game.

but you cant say its the same as playing it.

Hotline Miami 2 is definitely the better game, but it's a direct sequel both in story and difficulty to HLM1, so you should probably pick up the first game.

Ill get 1 as well. I tried it a while back and found it tougher than i am 2 lol, oh well. Ill give it another shot.

Blimey the story starts off well cryptic.
Babysitter calls for kids sorting out and is mafioso types there lol

Doesnt look like its the sort of story that is linear.

I'd say get the first game and 100% it for practice, and then head on for the second game, because if you're new to HM and start with the second game, you're in for a bad time

bouth

[dudemanclassic]

if you only have the money for one get the second one because of the level editor

[Rabid Urko]

Got em both, enjoying both.
The story is some well wierd non linear mind ♥♥♥♥ lol.

[Joaco22]

You should play the first one. Insane music, great story. It gives me vibes.

[hiet]

The age old question which game you should pickup first and the real answer is HM1.

[noodlehead]

I'd say start with HM1, without playing it the plot of HM2 would probably be confusing, I think it's also the easier one of the two.

since its on sale if you have an extra couple dollars you could buy the combo pack but id suggest hotline miami 1

The first one, Hotline Miami 2 is so bad. Hotline Miami is actually good, so playing 2 first would probably dishearten you from 1, which was actually good.
