Though you can't get this game anymore, it seems, I'll share with you all my feelings about this game anyway as I did really enjoy it!
I remember this game being released and they wanted to create it in a "Live Service" kind of way where you bought the game and there'd be a subscription for each and every season, however, only one season was done for this game! Beyond that, they did make some fun side missions and challenges too, but I'll get into that later.
You play as Agent 47, of course, doing training to see if he's eligible to join this group to carry out missions that will be handed to him via his handler. The first few missions are to make certain you get the hold of the mechanics and such until you go for your final test mission where you take everything you've learnt and then apply it to the simulation where you need to assassinate someone being protected by the Russian army and after that, the real missions start.
As typical in the early Hitman games, you have a target and they must be eliminated, but as the missions get more complex you have to do things like destroy someone's project or arrange for their death to be accidental. Something like that.
The missions can be fairly short, depending on how you approach a situation and how you sneak up on your target to dispatch them the best way! There's only a certain number of levels, however, why I love is the ability to track opportunities, especially with my memory and attention span being so terrible it really helps. The more opportunities you do, the more your mastery of a stage goes up and as you achieve a new level of mastery, you unlock something to make the mission more interesting like a new starting location, the ability to bring in a selection of weapons into designated locations or even whole new weapons! Some of the best I found were the concealable baton so you can knock people out quickly and it's never found when you get frisked. Unlike what I remember of some of the earlier games, you don't unlock new weapons and thing just by picking it up and carrying it out, but through this mastery system, which I like because it can be fun seeing different ways for the targets to be killed. Especially as often these are people who angered the wrong people be being a nasty or dangerous individual.
After the main game there's a selection of side missions and such that came in the form of DLC and the original idea of this game was to be a live service and be updated with seasons one after another, but we only got the first season with this one. I've yet to give the other two a go as I have been going mad trying to get all the achievements on this, however, I may lose interest. We'll see.
The story itself is interesting and has some links to 47s past, however, I don't want to give you spoilers and want you to find that out for yourself! ;)
