They're also extremely fast, so OTXO lends you a couple of tools to help out – a dodge roll and a brief, Max Payne-esque ability to slow time and line up a shot. They'll hear you coming and duck around a doorframe so you can't hit them immediately, or circle around to get a better shot. Where OTXO pushes past Hotline Miami is in the intelligence of your opponents. Dizzyingly fast, entirely deadly, and with a soundtrack that absolutely slaps, this is genuinely the closest thing to a Hotline spin-off I've ever seen, and clean enough that if you told me it was a full-fledged threequel, I'd believe you. It could scarcely be a more fitting homage to Hotline Miami. Waking on a beach with little more than the rapidly-fading memory of a lost romance in your head, it's just a few minutes before you're blasting your way through 'The Mansion' in pursuit of your love. OTXO (opens in new tab) is a new and unmissable top-down shooter.
