Gameplay-wise, this entry started the series’ path into revolutionizing the stealth genre with open-world gameplay and a mission grading system. This game introduced the world to Agent 47, an assassin for the secretive International Contract Agency (ICA). The games on this list are all ESRB-rated Mature 17+ unless stated otherwise, starting with the 10th spot.Ĭodename 47 is the game that started it all. However, we’ll exclude the “DLCs” and note if games have HD versions when available. For this list, we’ll look at all the single-player campaign missions in the mainline games and mobile games in the series. The Hitman series continues to tweak and innovate its mechanics and gameplay, an idea that extends to the soon-to-be-released Sniper: The Shadows.Īfter 20 years, and with the upcoming release of Sniper: The Shadows and Season of Sloth for Hitman 3, we thought of looking through the series and ranking them for the players out there who might want to revisit the older games. Interactive Entertainment, the series is still going strong. Even though it has gone through three publishers, Eidos Interactive, Square Enix, and Warner Bros. Since the first game, Codename 47 in 2000, the series has seen two soft reboots and a few misses. Each level begins with a limited weapons and gadgets loadout, though through controlling the protagonist, Agent 47, players will discover how best to utilise this loadout in taking down a target.Part of the second generation of stealth games alongside Thief, Metal Gear Solid, and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, the Hitman series continues to be the flagship game for IO Interactive. The breadth of content on offer is the real selling point, with multiple locations that have excellent replay value, thanks to the numerous means of achieving an objective via free-form assassinations. The gameplay provides constant challenges and new equipment to unlock by carrying out particular actions in a particular way. Gamers can progress through the game at their own pace, choosing an all-guns-blazing approach, or silently working their way through the enemy base with a variety of gadgets and disguises. The intention of the game is to infiltrate a number of diverse environments and assassinate a target, as the title of the game would suggest, which can be done with a plethora of varied weapons and gadgetry. Hitman is centrally a stealth action game, though gamers can choose to engage in high-octane gun battles instead. Shaun Jooste Updated 10 months ago Hitman: An Open-World Stealth Action Game
