The Hong Kong Massacre

I usually have an instant aversion to anything that’s an obvious ripoff, but I’m making exception when it comes to The Hong Kong Massacre. It’s pretty clear that this game takes a lot of its inspiration from Hotline Miami, but it’s added just enough different material to make it interesting and appealing. Non-pixelated graphics, dual wielding (although that feature appears to be coming in Hotline Miami 2), and bullet-time all make this seem like a game full of single-take John Woo action sequences. Which is just fine by me.
