Hitman 2's First Level Is Not A Huge Sandbox But A Throwback To Its Linear, Story-Focused Past

With Hitman 2, IO Interactive has established a new formula for the Hitman series. Starting with Hitman 2016, the game is focused on giving players huge sandbox levels to allow players, playing as Agent 47, the freedom to kill in any way they can think of.

Absolution was really the only "linear" Hitman game. The series certainly used to be more story-focused though, and Absolution was undoubtedly the best as far as story goes.

I have been a huge fan of Hitman since Silent Assassin (the actual Hitman 2, damn broken numbering systems) and the 2016 Hitman was a fantastic return to form, not some sad departure from "past games". Like, sure, there were stories being told in Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money ...but they sure as hell weren't the main draw card for me, the levels were. And the points where Hitman has pushed it's story to the detriment of it's open gameplay have been the points at which the series has been at its weakest.

Clearly this site and user has never played a Hitman game before Absolution, Hitman has always been about exploring open levels and finding out different ways to complete the objectives.

I like the older ones more, especially codename 47 because it felt a lot darker. Especially the mental asylum tutorial level.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo1d 20h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows901d 20h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19891d 11h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha1d 21h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno1d 20h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan1d 20h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno1d 19h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19811d 20h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6691d 11h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19811d 6h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga2d ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator2d ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac2d ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
