HITMAN™ 2 - GOLD EDITION

The level design is outstanding with a massive amount of content, additional missions for each map, endless ways to play and even an excellent sniper mode. It also contains the previous game's maps and campaign as well, upgraded for the newer engine. This game is a brilliant addition to the series and I can't wait to play part 3!

Hitman 2 is basically the exact same game as Hitman(2016) but that's definitely not a bad thing. It builds on the foundation set by the previous game to tell an adequate story with lackluster cutscenes but also some of the best maps and kills in the franchise. While the story may be basic the core game play of Hitman 2 is very engaging, once again demanding the player to explore their environment to find the most efficient, badass or ridiculous way to kill the target. The thing that makes the game play of Hitman work is the freedom it allows its players to make their own decisions and to not only provide many different ways of killing your target(s) but also even more ways that the developers may not have intended as the game completely allows you to play your way. Hitman 2 is a must buy for fans of stealth and sandbox games alike, with tons of content, only matched in quantity by Hitman 3. While Hitman 3 is a fantastic game, Hitman 2 is still worth buying for 2 reasons, the fact that Hitman 3 isn't on steam yet and the fact that Hitman 3 is noticeably buggier than Hitman 2.
