Hotline Miami 2 feels unfinished

Hotline Miami 2 was my first experience, and I've watched gameplay of the first Hotline Miami, and I asked myself "Why is the aesthetic of the first game better than the second?"

The point system has a nice animation, weapon unlocks, mask unlocks, it all has a nice feel to it. In Hotline Miami 2 it feels "soulless" in a way.
