20 PS4 Exclusives - Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Hotline Miami & Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

Large open worlds are one thing, but simple controls and fun excuses to act on them is where the purest of gameplay experiences lie. To that end, Hotline Miami is quite possibly the most fun you can ever have when gameplay perfectly matches impeccable audio design.

Creators Jonatan Sderstrm and Dennis Wedin hand-picked all the game's synthwave songs, to which the second title, Wrong Number, has the best collection of tracks this side of GTA: Vice City. Gameplay is a top-down ultra violent twin-stick shooter, challenging you to wipe out all sorts of locations filled with enemies in the fastest, most blood-soaked ways possible, but you'll do all of it in time with the beat.

Blast a guy's head off, grab his knife, fling that at an oncoming goon before unloading another round into the guy who thought he had you by surprise. The entire time the music is just thumping away in the background, challenging you to get better, to be more in time, to kill faster and score higher.

Hotline is a stupidly fun rush, and although many critics lambasted the sequel for being too hard, its difficulty curve simply continues where the first left off. Master the original and then leap straight into the next. Perfect.
