Level edit your own massacres in Hotline Miami 2

The brains which designed the original levels in twitchcore top-down murder-'em-up Hotline Miami must have been fetid, broken, wrong places. And now they can be your brains too. At E3 Dennaton Games has released a new trailer for the second, (and supposedly final, game in the series, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, which shows how you can create and share your own levels. This is that…

The game's out later this year. I fully expect it to be completely horrific, and to only get worse once the community starts making stuff for it. Both are intended as compliments. We'll try to get a hands-on from the show floor over the next couple of days. Assuming we aren't beaten to death in the toilets. Because games journalism is no joke.

With over two decades covering videogames, Tim has been there from the beginning. In his case, that meant playing Elite in 'co-op' on a BBC Micro (one player uses the movement keys, the other shoots) until his parents finally caved and bought an Amstrad CPC 6128. These days, when not steering the good ship PC Gamer, Tim spends his time complaining that all Priest mains in Hearthstone are degenerates and raiding in Destiny 2. He's almost certainly doing one of these right now.
