The plot of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is told out of order: before, during, and after the events of the original, focusing on events in 1985, 1989, and 1991 respectively.

Reviews. In almost every way, Hotline Miami 2 is a marked improvement on an already tremendous formula.  Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a great game and a worthy sequel. It's more confident in its style, storytelling ability, and level design than the first game.
