The wondrous new game in the Hitman series, and I still really love it. It is essentially just a rebranded Season 2 to 2016's Hitman which I also loved, but similarly to Baldur's Gate they used the excuse of a similar engine to just improve everything. The level design is excellent, the amount and variety in challenges is superb, the macabre sense of humor is omnipresent.
Hitman 2 emphasizes creativity and freedom for how you approach each level and I'm glad I turn off all hints the first time through to try and figure out in my own way how to accomplish the kills. The options however are appreciated afterwards showing all the different options is just stellar. The sheer number of times you can kill folks with a fish is astounding.
As a stealth game I usually appreciate my Ghost runs but the game is great at getting you to feel more adaptable and clever than something like Dishonored.
One of the strongest ways to praise the game I can think of is to say I wish I hadn't wanted to do this 52 game challenge if only so I could keep replaying it.
Final Score: A
