I'd like to start this review wit ha simple statement: This game is not Hotline Miami. People are simply comparing the two because of the blood and difficulty. If you want Hotline Miami gameplay, play Hotline Miami.
My view of the game may be skewed a little because Risk of Rain is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can't help that.
Deadbolt is a very challenging game, but it is very easy to learn. That is one of the most frustrating parts about it: you know how to play it, but you keep dying. This is the type of game that you will rage quit and come back after a half hour to try again. The gameplay is 2d stealth, like Gunpoint. But again, this game is NOT Gunpoint.
The art style is distinctively Hopoo, and the character sprites along with the warm lighting and "rustic city" atmosphere almost reminds me of Dishonored without the steampunk. While a lot of the art in Risk of Rain focused on stressing the fact that you are very small and very alone, Deadbolt keeps things closer, with focus on you and the nearby rooms.
The music, like Risk of Rain, is very beautiful and fits the game perfectly. Some of the songs even sound familiar to Risk of Rain, which I sort of enjoyed.
Overall, while I haven't even beaten the game yet, I enjoy this game immensely. I'm not sure how replayable the main story will be, but the Steam Workshop will probably fix that if it isn't. If you loved or even liked Risk of Rain, I'd give Deadbolt a try.

One of the best purchases I have made for under $10. The music, backgrounds, and monsters help create an amazing atmosphere for a game with a vague at best backstory (not necessarily a bad thing). I will not lie. This game will f**k you. It will make you want to smash your keyboard on the ground in rage. However, you will find yourself having the time of your life stacking items, killing bosses, and trying to master each difficulty. If you do happen to get bored of this game (I did after about 30 hours), take a break from it for a few months and your interest will be renewed. 9.9/10 would bang.
