HITMAN Episode 2 Sapienza Review | PressA2Join

Adam writes "Imagine a game world with all the complexity of one of those Mario Maker maps, draped in the graphical fidelity you ought to expect from the Xbox One, and you have yourself Agent 47’s latest locale. Sapienza is a rustic paradise, with quaint cafes, gelato parlours, and art deco masonry in abundance, ensuring that your time in IO’s little slice of Italy feels as authentic as it possibly can. The map is beautiful and vast, and a welcome change of scenery from the first episode. The labyrinth of the Parisian palace in episode one have been traded in for a sprawling coastal town, filled with toys for you to play with as you greedily sample each and every method of murder available. Sapienza might as well be Italian for ‘toy box’, with Agent 47 dealing death in so many diverse ways – from 15th-century cannon to exploding golf ball – all of which would not be possible in episode one’s confining corridors, where patience and observation result in success".
