Hitman is and always will be the perfect game
(hexbear.net)
I've played 2, contracts, blood money on loop. Absolutely nothing beats these games for pure sandbox level fun. Its all iconic and i know the perfect silent assassin route through every level organically through my own discovery with no guides.
I played these games hundreds of times over. Fuck absolution. Also i love splinter cell it peaked at chaos theory the absolute best shader model 3.0 game ever to exist
Absolution was a pretty good game (in my opinion) but it wasn’t a very good hitman game. If it had been a standalone franchise with different characters etc it would probably be thought of as a very good game of the time. For example, the bit where you’re tracked by the cops for several levels had a great James Bond/Bourne Identity type feel.
