Agent 47 is canonically 36 in that box art.
I wish I could play this, but no matter what I try or do fix-wise for this game, something always breaks and leaves the game unplayable. It is old EuroJank, but this is one of the only ways to play the game as it never left the PC market. Maybe the GOG.com version works better, those tend to have fixes for old games. Just don't buy this on Steam.
I think this is a really good game but it does suffer from some issues due to it's age. The story and the difficulty of the game are still as good today as it was when it was released. The biggest issue this game has is the controls. Other then that the game is great and you should give it a try.
how does a game age this poorly and reflect so little of the future of its franchise?
Tosco y con una IA mediocre, pero le tengo bastante cariño por ser el primero que jugué y por sus misiones tan míticas y memorables. (El soundtrack es sublime también)
I really like CheeseGX's video review of this game. In his video he called the game a dirty euro jank mess that did some incredibly advanced things but failed at some of the most basic things.
Honestly, I enjoyed this game. Even though I've lost count of number of times I've died. The levels have a learning curve where you can't do it in one go and you have to learn enemy behavior a few times before completing each level. This game is hard and trying to understand the mechanics takes a bit of time.
The atmosphere of the game is top notch, my version of the game had a problem where the sound effects were too loud and were drowning out the music, make sure to check the volume levels in the settings to hear the amazing atmospheric soundtrack.
The game has a pretty decent story as well, I think this is the only hitman game which has a bit of sci fi mixed into the story.
Overall, I think it's only worth playing if you are a fan of the series and please play the game by watching tutorials, so you won't waste your hours on the levels like I did.

The only reason I'm rating this is the first place is for vibe and presentation plus the soundtrack of the game. Otherwise the whole game aged up quite badly. Controls aren't optimal even for 2000s standards, some of the most tideously long missions which only involves long distance runnings, it's stealth on paper but it isn't properly executed and the lack of save function mid-missions.
