20 Most Addictive Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

17. Hotline Miami 1 & 2

Speaking of perfect, Hotline Miami is a top-down fever dream of pulsing synthwave beats, and arching buckets of claret covering the floor.

At its best, you'll storm a room, unload two shells into a couple of enemies before flinging your weapon at an attacker, knocking them to the floor and giving you a split second to breathe. From there you'll grab that third person and use them as a human shield, walking into the next room and wasting the remaining enemies before snapping the neck of your now-former protection, only to brandish a nearby pool cue for the remainder in the final area.

Like a violent dopamine rush you can ride for hours at a time, when it all clicks, there's not a single gaming experience quite so passionately engaging as Hotline Miami.
