Hitman 2 is the direct answer to that outcry: every map is like Sapienza, with underground bases, unassuming houses, secrets tucked into every alleyway or heavily guarded fortress while the last map of Hitman 2 feels more like its predecessor's introductory Paris map. In the months following the original Hitman's Sapienza level drop, some expressed disappointment over its following levels, as none seemingly matched the splendor, size, and detail of the Italy-based map. Hitman 2 is "season one" of Hitman perfected and taken further, only it's available all at once. In opening Hitman up, a world of possibilities (and assassinations) followed. It was an original structure not just for Hitman as a series, but for episodic games in general.
#HITMAN 2 REVIEW CRACKED#
In the months between episodes, levels were cracked open like eggs: players obsessed over their most intricate details until the next episode was out. Hitman 2's predecessor was released in a seasonal structure, with each new level serving as an episode with its own unique challenges. Hitman in 2016 reimagined the series as a sandbox where experimentation and creativity is always rewarded-no longer strictly tethered by a plot. He might be crouching in a bush, flipping coins and hoping it'll attract the attention of an ill-fated NPC.ĭown one publisher (Square Enix) and up a new one (Warner Bros.), Hitman 2 is more, more, more of the 2016 revival for the Hitman series by IO Interactive. In the quiet of a Vermont suburb, the crowded slums of Mumbai, an Eyes Wide Shut-esque party for rich people (minus the sex), a race track in Miami, or a working class town in Colombia, you might see bald-headed Agent 47, with his signature barcode on the back of his head, skulking about.
