Hardcore Gamer: "The long running Hitman franchise has never been better. Sure, you could make the argument that Blood Money is still the top tier Hitman experience, but IO Interactive continues to innovate on the tried-and-true formula. With the recent release of Hitman 2 on Friday for those who purchased the Gold Edition (with Silver and standard edition buyers having to wait until tomorrow), we decided to put together a list of every Hitman mission ranked. Because there are so many in the entire series, we are limiting this list to everything since the episodic (soft) reboot launched two years ago, and we won’t be ranking tutorial missions or sniper challenges such as The Vector, either. These will be the full fledged missions alongside any of the bonus missions released between 2016 and 2018. This means we’ll also be adding Patient Zero which was put in with the Game of the Year Edition last year. We will try to avoid too many spoilers, but read cautiously if you don’t want some of the assassination opportunities revealed."
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.

Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
Replaying Silent Assassin, currently on Terminal Hospitality. Safe to say I've enjoyed every Hitman apart from Absolution
I always loved the one in the hotel in Hungary in Hitman Contracts, I don't know why. Maybe I secretly always dreamt of being a cleaning maid in a hotel...
