I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.


Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.

    In Marvel’s Spider-man, those damn Mary Jane sequences. Apart from that I love that game, still waiting for a discount to buy Spider-man 2.

      Good news for the sequel, they still have MJ stealth sections but they aren’t instant fail if you’re spotted

      There are Mary Jane sequences in Spiderman 2 as well. More, it felt like. I also hate them. In fact, Sunday night was the first time I played in three weeks because I got to an annoying Mary Jane sequence that I just didn’t want to play at all

      Edit: also, I found out after beating it, there’s no New Game+ yet. Just FYI if you’re into that sort of thing. I read “first part of 2024” for that
