I finished this shit while rewatching Smiley Face with the love of my life.
Seriously though, I am genuinely impressed. For the first time, a Hitman game with a story that actually feels interesting. I did think some of the levels were a bit weak, and I still have yet to adjust to the Absolution/Blood Money gameplay fusion, but this game was pretty good. Started 2 and am thoroughly enjoying it so far.
I am playing via WOA Hitman 3 update but am rating them individually still.

Goated! best stealth game series i've ever played is hitman
I bought Hitman as soon as the Paris map was released, and I've sort of just never stopped playing it. This soft reboot of the series takes the sandbox level design of the older games and dramatically increases the scale, filling each environment with discrete NPCs and little important details about the world. The implicit class commentary in the older games is made explicit in this one; all 47 needs to become invisible to his wealthy targets is to wear the outfit of a service worker.
A huge amount of the gameplay in Hitman consists of the player obtaining a work uniform of some kind and observing a target, or someone associated with a target, and discerning both their schedule and their motivations. Each target has a number of ironic, narratively-appropriate, cinematic kills attached to them, and because Hitman levels are designed to be replayed over and over again, your sort of always getting to know the targets and the people surrounding them more and more intimately, each interruption you make into their schedules revealing more and more specific information. Each Hitman level is therefore like a spy novel-puzzle box, where narrative and gameplay are always neatly in sync with one another. An all-timer.

Perfect stealth sandbox with unlimited replay value that isn't MGSV.
Only ever played the demo cus I played absolution and like it was fun I played it hella I remember spending hours killing everyone and stacking their body's together shit was crazy I'm probably a sociopath but we outside 8/10 but after buying it and actually playing the levels 10/10
The first entry into the World of Assassination trilogy still has some of the best maps of all 3, and set the template the other games would follow. The trilogy is so interlinked now that it can be hard to talk about each individual entry, but I would say the original is still the best.
IDEK how to rate the new trilogy since they all blend into World of Assassination. I had a good time, but something about the older titles appeals to me more than these ones. Will be replaying via WoA at some point.
very good. outstanding.
