I want more large-scale feeling event levels that allow you to walk backstage in many other games. Maybe I hold a contrarian’s position, but a smaller, tighter, more focused level designed to interlock on itself with lots of hidden secrets makes for a more interesting Hitman level in my opinion than, say, “The Finish Line” from 2 (2018). That said, back in 2016 I was throwing the toys out of the pram, as it were, with the episodic releases exhausting any interest I already had for a new Hitman, especially one that was so large and flashy. At least better than whatever the ninja nuns with rocket launchers happened to be. I think we’ve all matured since we fed sex pests to the sharks in Blood Money, but I think a majority of us would agree that it was the balance stuck well. I said I played them when I was young, I never said I was good at them. It all began for me with the demo of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and this is why we can’t just keep rebooting series and only numbering them.įrom memory, you started the mission on a hillside by a mansion, a delivery bloke is walking about outside, you choke his Smurf until he passes out in a bush, you steal his outfit, get past the gate, and that’s usually where I died. I think, like most of my certain vintage, the early Hitman games sparked an urge to dress as a French maid and go about mansions stabbing cartoonish millionaire villains, but that’s enough about my personal life. I didn’t shy away from my rather playful opinion on the story of Barry Hitman, the shelf stacker of a medium-range British supermarket, and his penchant for nightly stabbings. However, after the video review earlier this year where I did silly things, I think that turn of events was obvious. That kids, is how to give the game away early and show your hand. I’ve been a vocal detractor of the Hitman reboots the same way I have been a detractor of the Tomb Raider reboots: the first one is godawful, and the second makes a marked improvement.
