Nick Ballantyne at GameCloud writes: "HITMAN 2 is more of the same, with an emphasis on more and same. The gameplay is damn near unchanged, but it’s still satisfying to line up the hit and carry it out. The more massive levels and challenges lend themselves to more replayability, and even if the AI is one acid tab away from brain-death, it’s fun to see what you can pull off. Those hankering for a better-told story than the last game will be left wanting, but it’s a small price to pay for such elaborate and dense levels. If you liked the first game, you’ll like this one, because it’s practically the same but bigger."
Precisely picking off your targets from a great distance while they never suspect a thing feels extremely satisfying and fun in games that execute the sniper concept well. Here are five such sniping games that are insanely satisfying.
HITMAN Trilogy includes all three games from the World of Assassination and will be available digitally on January 20 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Game Store and also Gamepass.
They don’t need my thank you because they are getting my money. What a fantastic service this has been tho. Honestly, just started playing Mass Effect (Legendary collection) for the first time. I don’t think I will need another game the rest of the year.
I came here to ask if this is on PC GamePass too or just console, and then found my answer, for anyone else with the same question:
“The HITMAN Trilogy will be available with Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate on January 20”
These games are well worth a download - check them out!
Wow, what a day for GP subscribers on January 20th!
Honest question - aren’t PS owners getting abit frustrated paying full price for the same product? I know I would be.
I would be frustrated if I was having my PMs monitored my Microsoft and had to pay for to access the internet a second time.
Great get, but already pounded them out, years ago in some cases. I’ve mainly used GP for the console exclusives (just got my Xbox last month).
We already got hitman and hitman 2 free to own via our $5/month subscription to PSN. Hitman 3 is a nice add though for sure. Don't forget GP is an extra $180 a year on top of Gold, so I'd kinda expect games like Hitman 3 making it in...
Not really? It's been out for a year already. And games may come to Game Pass, but they also leave Game Pass. Will it remain on there until all content has been released? Probably not as it's a live service and has already had a year of timed content that has disappeared.
@Jericho1337 I've said it before and I'll keep saying it until it happens - Sony need to offer us a PS GamePass. It looks like they may do that later this year.
@crazyCoconuts "Don't forget GP is an extra $180 a year on top of Gold"
That is completely false. GP Ultimate is $180 and includes XBL Gold (and EA Play).
Also, I play on PC, so I don't even need gold and I pay $120/yr (with EA play)
No frustration at all, software sales data has the answer to your question, PS owners keep buying great games year after year if they were frustrated sales would've plummeted and that's clearly not the case. Sony has had huge success selling their games at retail with record breaking numbers.
The first two were already on PS+. The third probably will too. If not, it's already $20 to $30.
What's there to be frustrated about?
Not at all; we have a better experience because our coffers are full enough to get the best gaming experiences. Frustration is something experienced when your resources are too low to support your recreations. I personally wouldn't even be bragging about having to given something for free.
We're grown enough to make good enough choices in life to establish a source of healthy income. Grown individuals having to be given recreations are not grown at all.
That's what separates children from adults. I'll gladly pay for my games as I do with everything else of quality I engage in. My Porsche, Jaguar, or BMW weren't free either, but they're fully paid off.
Enjoy your free entertainment, buddy, as I'm sure that thrifty attitude doesn't afford much else of quality for you either.
Honest answer: I like owning my stuff that's why I buy physical. Just not big into subscription mindset and not owning anything. Some people don't care and prefer that. We all do what we want.
@crazyCoconuts actually the $180 a year game pass ultimate comes with good included. It’s not extra thank goodness lol
my bad - sorry i had $15/month in my head but you're right it's $10/month, so $120.
Sweet! First the ME trilogy and now the Hitman trilogy.. wow, gampass 2022 is off to a great start for gamers!
Hell yeah! Def buying this, but where's the ray-tracing update the devs were working on?
Good things come to those that wait. I bought hitman one on PS4 and although I enjoyed it, I didn’t get 2. Just never got around to it because so many better games were out/coming out. Now I’ll play 2 and 3 for the cost of my gamepass sub. Sadly it’s still PLENTY of games that take higher billing I’ll be playing on my PS5 like Gran Turismo, Horizon, and DNF duel for example. But having this available for any down time is nice.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive have announced that the HITMAN 2 Elusive Target mission starring international actor Sean Bean returns on 3rd May and will be available until 3rd June.
