''The Hong Kong Massacre'' is a RunAndGun game, developed by [=VRESKI=] and released for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] on 22nd January, 2019 and on UsefulNotes/Playstation4 on 29nd January, 2019.
It is heavily inspired by the Creator/JohnWoo movies, with the protagonist being a Hong Kong cop who goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the triads after they killed his partner. He's been so successful at it that the game opens with him getting interrogated by his higher-ups about all the carnage he's caused. Then, the game flashes back, and lets you create that carnage yourself.
!! Tropes present in this game:
* TheAllSeeingAI: Enemies detect you as soon as you enter the room, even if they had their back turned to you at the time.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. Moreover, you can never have more than one magazine's worth of ammo for any weapon, thus forcing you to regularly pick up the guns of fallen enemies. However, you do get to upgrade the weapons' ammo capacity.
* BulletTime: The ability to slow time down is one of the game's core features. Its usage is limited by a meter, so you cannot deploy it all the time. However, each kill partially refills it, so you are encouraged to use your slo-mo time to immediately cause maximum carnage.
** Nevertheless, there's an achievement for beating levels without deploying it at all, which pushes the [[NintendoHard already-high]] difficulty even higher.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: A good number of the environmental assets are recycled from building to building. This even goes as far as the paper shogi screens being used as internal walls not only in the mere office buildings, but inexplicably, inside a police station, for essentially no reason but to allow you to shoot and burst through them there as well.
* DodgeTheBullet: You have a dodge move, which changes depending on the context of the situation. The one constant is that you are completely immune to damage while using it. However, your enemies get to perform the exact same dodges, and they are just as immune to damage during them.
* GameplayGrading: You get a star rating for each of the levels you complete.
* GunsAkimbo: Dual pistols are your starter weapon.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The enemies with body armour require two shots instead of one.
* MoreDakka: The rifle already has more ammo in its magazine than any other weapon. Fully upgrading its ammo capacity gives you a whole 100 bullets to play with, which is invaluable, as you'll not get to reload it.
* NintendoHard: The game is already hard, and will get even harder if you try to go for any of its challenges.

* RooftopConfrontation: All of the five boss battles take form of these.

* SuperWindowJump: You get to regularly do this, with no ill consequences.
