As with the 2016 reboot of Hitman, Hitman 2 is one of the best games of the year and is so far my personal Game of the Year.

Though some elements are clearly still being developed and will evolve in the future, HITMAN 2 is a great example of games-as-a-service done right. Specifically, the base game is a an already strong offering that will no doubt grow into something even better as time goes by. Eclipsing the previous game in practically every way, HITMAN 2 successfully leverages strong level design, creative kills and absurdist situations to offer the best Hitman experience to date.

I have been a big fan of Hitman since Hitman 2: Silent Assassin in 2002 and while the series has had some highs and lows, they have always been enjoyable to me. I absolutely love stealth games and Hitman is the ultimate stealth game. I love the idea of being able to hide in plain site since most stealth games like Thief, Dishonored, Splinter Cell, and many action games only require you to hide in shadows or just stay out of the enemies line of site. Hitman still relies on those normal st...

IO Interactive appears to have plans to support Hitman 2 as a platform as well, with its first timed exclusive mission to kill Sean Bean coming available shortly before this review was published. I look forward to seeing what else the developers release, and I imagine it’ll keep me coming back to this game well into 2019.

The seventh installment in the long-running Hitman franchise is now out, confusingly titled Hitman 2. The game serves as a direct sequel to 2016’s Hitman and is pretty much just about what you would expect from it, assuming you have been keeping tabs. Check out our Hitman 2 review below to know more on our thoughts!

It’s a strange thing to find yourself smiling so much while playing a game that has you carrying out a series of grisly murders, but that’s exactly what Hitman 2 does.

A bit pricey to say it lists half of its own contents as DLC, but if you already own HITMAN and want more of that, then HITMAN 2 is perfect for you.

The third act is often the hardest, and with Hitman 3, IO Interactive has managed, somehow, to mix things up and make it feel fresh. Some will celebrate the lengthier, curated stories, but those who love Hitman for its replay value will be slightly dismayed at Hitman 3. Nonetheless, it's still a great bloody video game.

Hitman 2 is an exceptionally enjoyable assassination sandbox that is slightly let down by its shoddy narrative and lack of interesting characters.
