Either way, experimenting in different runs through a level unlocks more places to start from, new gadgets to play with, and better knowledge of the level’s inner-workings.Ĭompleting the six episodes is relatively quick and easy, but Hitman’s combination of immersive sim tomfoolery with sandbox murder puzzles is what makes each so immensely replayable. If that’s too much hassle, the game does allow for the player to be directed to potential opportunities for a perfect kill. Agent 47 can acquire disguises, keys and keycards to get into off-limits areas, but he can also simply sneak in an open window, pry open a locked door, or blast his way in (which is not really the point of Hitman, but it’s always nice to have that option).ĭepending on how much of a challenge you prefer, the game will either let you figure it out on your own, exploring every nook and cranny, listening in on NPC conversations for clues, and trying your luck. The beauty of the levels is discovering just how many options they offer to accomplish your task (which is mostly ‘kill these people’, but also requires you to pick up some vital information or an important item). These episodes are self-contained levels, mini-sandboxes that have their own extra rules and quirks to crack. In that respect, the trilogy tag is perfectly suited, but each entry has six individual ‘episodes’ (the one constant kept over from the original episodic model).
