Hitman Intro Pack: Prologue & Paris - This Next-Gen Reboot Hits the Mark | A Short Pause Review

Short Pause: "When it comes to stealth games, my sneaking abilities are right up there with the likes of Johnny English, Rowan Atkinson’s lovable, bumbling secret agent character from the silver screen. For those unfamiliar with Johnny English, I’m trying to say I am about as subtle as an explosion. After the abysmal Alekhine’s Gun nearly turned me off to the stealth genre altogether earlier this month, Hitman rode in on its white horse and picked me up. I realized that even I had the potential to become a trained agent of death lurking in the shadows…or one standing directly in front of the target, blending in behind the bar while they sip on a cocktail laced with rat poison."

All the challenges and escalations give this game serious legs inbetween episodes. Shame elusive targets aren't out yet, but I'm excited to try them out.

It doesn't hit the mark because you only got one part of the gun. The rest of it including the bullets come much later.

Episodic BS = Zero interest.

It's fun but not what I thought it would be.

I was expecting the "location" to mean there would be 4-6 missions per location instead of a map is a mission. Disappointing.

Really hope they don't continue down this route.

I think that's how it's going to be.

I'm happy enough with it so far though. I've got 12 hours logged and I still need to do some of the challenges and all of the escalations.
If each map is this re-playable, I'll be happy.

They made the map extremely replayable. I find myself just testing out different ways to infiltrate. And the AI is damn good. Big factor right there. I got the game for free so I might be biased, but I think they did awesome work on it and I hope they continue with each episode.

They can probably just torrent them easily.

Kudos to IO if it's intentional.

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.

Super lacklustre
