One huge improvement that I wonder if people notice is the voice work. Of course David Bateson is always perfect as 47, but in the previous game they seemed to recycle the same few voice actors, which doesn't work in a game that takes place in locations around the world. It's odd to hear a character that's clearly meant to be a native speaker of another language speaking English with no accent. This makes it feel like a B movie. In the new levels, it seems they took this into account. Small detail, but it makes a difference.

The older Hitman games like Contracts, Silent Assassin etc also had good voice work in terms of how their accent was and also they spoke in their native language as well which made it more immersive in my opinion... I have no idea why Hitman 2016 didn't have native voice actors...

My guess is they had a small budget for voice work in the last game and were only able to hire a few voice actors to play all the parts, but it really gave the game a cheap feel.

I was actually wishing they would add a difficulty setting above Master. Something where leaving bloodstains on walls, or empty clips on the ground would count against your "professionalism". It's probably too niche, but with as much accessibility as they've added, it would be cool to see them tackle the more nuanced approaches by acknowledging these little details. Blood money had that newspaper gimmick. Which, while barely implemented into that game, was still (imo) a move in a really interesting direction. I want each level to end with a couple of gumshoes going over the scene of the crime with a fine tooth comb, picking out every piece of leftover evidence and trying to build a case.

It put the messed up situation of climate change into perspective in a blunt way that really stuck with me. The 2016 game with the secret virus laboratory and rogue militia ready to destabilize governments gave me similar feelings of being uncomfortable with unchecked power, but Isle of Sgail takes the cake.

Like you, I have always loved stealth and I knew you’d be a HITMAN fan. I have long loved having 47 as an avatar of the kind of assassin you would want to be. I initially play like Vincent from Collateral and just adapt however i can. And then I love to play as a “target only, suit only” assassin. This and Splinter Cell (another franchise I have throughly enjoyed) should be way more recognisable and demanded by the general gaming public. Splinter Cell could be another Mission Impossible film franchise if managed correctly.

Didn't know SBH still does reviews.

This was one of only two full-priced games I bought this year. Thanks for doing this video, Hitman needs all the exposure it can get, it really is top quality in a world where AAA quality is waning

Bought Hitman (1) because of your last review, I enjoyed it more than most games, particular the 'Sapienza' episode. Spend more time in that one 'level' than the rest of the game. Wish there was a Hitman centered around travelling Italy or something! Thanks for all your work and happy Christmas!

@robertnomok9750

Same. I played Hitman for 90 hours in Paris and Sapienza alone, Maroco sadly isnt up to part and that stopped me from playing for now,

I appreciate that IO stopped doing an episodic structure with Hitman 2 but their always online crap still really kills it for me. You can't get unlocks, spawn locations, challenges and other gadgets while offline. I don't know why they couldn't just add all that stuff into the normal game instead of relying on servers thst will inevitably shutdown.

It creates "one of the greatest acts of deadpan pop culture comedy - right up there with Hank Hill and Harry Plinkett". Good to see Mr Plinkett is getting some recognition, finally!

I believe this game would’ve sold better if it was released at a different time as well as not having so many different versions to confuse customers

Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. So many reviewers have just been calling it "Hitman 2016 expansion pack" but they're either completely missing the point of this game, or aren't playing it right, or just aren't the right audience for this type of game. The levels are designed for replayability, for REAL. No other game puts this much effort into smart/clever level design where you have so many alternate routes and paths and so many sectioned off or cordoned off areas that can only be accessed with the right disguise. Heck, I was discovering hidden areas in a level on my 9th or 10th playthrough when I was pretty sure I had the entire map memorized. We all loved Sapienza and Hokkaido from Hitman 2016, but every level in Hitman 2 meets that quality bar and sometimes goes beyond it. It's honestly shocking how they managed to pull off a game so well. IO Interactive knows this genre and their audience so well.

...I'm going to assume Super Bunnyhop already knows the blurred sections (e.g. when he's talking about the different versions of Hitman 1 & 2) are missing the overlays that are hinted at in the video and is working on an update to that.

What good timing for this review, given the games have some good sales going on at the moment.

Thanks for the buyer's guide at the end. Very helpful.

You reminded me how much I loved the original Hitman. My friend and I used to play through it together. We got really far but never beat it. I would love to try again, this time older and smarter and get the game running super nice on a modern system at high res and everything. I remember the last level we were on seemed like an airport runway with fences and guard towers and it was dark out.

I've been waiting for Hitman 2 to come out specifically so that the first would be 100% complete. I'm not a fan of the episodic design of these games, but Hitman has always been one of my favorite series of all times. The time sensitive missions in Hitman 2016 will unfortunately be something I missed out on, but I would rather have one long playthrough of the game than spend time waiting between the episodes. It's just how I prefer to play my games. Good to see that Hitman 2 seems to improve on everything the first in this reboot series did, and maybe by the time I finish the first game this one will be nearly complete.

I also love this game, and have to control myself when I want them to iron out all the little bugs, by the end of this year, I actually agree that it 3-4 months this might be a legendary game of decade contender in the stealth category, the levels are just so awesome.

I have a headache and need to be awake in 3 hours, not even a Hitman fan just bern watching a lotta these videos in the background all evening/night. Might have to give it a shot when there's another Publisher Sale.

I find these new hitman games(2016, 2018) to feel more like old school splinter cell, With the older assassins creed crowd blending added in hitman 2. Wich is awesome in my opinion. A sandbox where stealth actually feels important and fun instead of just an added feature like most games these days. This game deserves praise for all it's moving pieces in each level. Maybe it's just that don't remember much from hitman 2016 but I feel they stepped it up a bunch in hitman 2.

10:08 Rougelite you say? Devs: "quick, write that down"

Always on point with your reviews, amazing game ! My main issue with this game right now is the rating system. I don't get why you can be spotted tresspassing and still get Silent assassin. Looks like a big case of casualisation to me compared to Hitman 2016.

So I bought Hitman 2016 awhile back (Not the complete version with the extra dlc) and downloaded Hitman 2 when I found out I could get all those missions again but new and improved for free. I was having a blast with it and me and my friend were giggling like school girls when I used tactics we never thought would work. I play on Xbox mind you and was waiting until the game went on sale to actually buy it. I can’t believe the day George makes a video is the day it happens. Thank you Dad. I love you.

Great review. Im such a big fan of Hitman games.

this game really is beautifully crafted, i bought it for 30$ and have absolutely zero regrets. if you love stealth games you need to get this.

Bless You, Our Lord of the Georgesocks. I've been considering getting this, but I wasn't sure the best way to go about it as I missed (deliberately; I did not like what Squeenix was trying to do with it) Hitman 1. Now I have it answered.

I loved this game it was really good and I am hoping this game does sell really well

It's so strange to me how Hitman 2 isn't selling well. I've been seeing anything and everything Hitman 2-related pop up consistently, whether it's clips, videos, streamers, late reviews, you name it. Even something such as the briefcase clips are still a thing that you see. I'm surprised all of this smaller-but-consistent publicity isn't making it sell better.

The confusing business model, pricing and double-DRM scheme (denuvo+online profiles) probably didn't help the game. Idk why the devs doubled down on that crap. I've just looked how much the first game costs, and they're asking for 52€ fucking euro. Even new games don't always cost that much, its ridiculous. IO got some damn good develoepers, but there have to be some top level/marketing people who have no clue what they're doing.

Great Hitman games ended with Blood Money. Hitman lost its personality. Now it's just some mediocre and boring game of killing for the sake of killing. "It meant to be replayed the same levels multiple times" my ass.

MiniMackeroni DRM and season passes. Should've been a complete experience like MGSV or the Splinter Cell games, complemented with maybe DLC. This will not have longevity because of the always online

Hitman 2 didnt sell well because of poor marketing and advertising

Bunny hop! We want your year end wrap up of 2018!

God I love this series. I really hope the sales can pick up

Hey guys, need a bit of help. I’ve never played a Hitman game before, and I want to get into Hitman 2, and I own a PS4. Could someone lonk me a guide on what edition to pick to get all the good content, or could I use the same strategy George describes in the video? Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

Okay so I've never played a Hitman game. I'm not huge on stealth but George's depictions are always compelling and I do enjoy the environment design I've seen. I had completely forgotten this game was out after seeing some demos near E3. And every time someone talks about it or I see an article about it I need to spend time figuring out if they're talking about the new game or the older. And after all the debacles with DLC in the last game, I wasn't even sure whether I could get this entire game in one purchase (which, as a newcomer, still entails a high asking price for a game I'm not sure I'll enjoy). Or given this review, whether I should be getting the first one as well? The point? In some ways, it really doesn't matter how much this series appeals to fans; its already niche audience appears to have shrunk with the DLC debacles that do the double duty of making it confusing to newcomers who want to try the game. The gameplay, I'm sure, may be much more accessible than ever. The game however, looks like it is not. The fact that he needs to spend 2 minutes at the end explaining how to get into it, in a way that... to be honest, I'm just too stupid to understand. I'm not a stealth gamer. I'm borderline on whether I'd enjoy this. So having to know which edition to buy and knowing I'll still end up spending what equates to 4 good indie titles to see if I'll like it? I feel like a lot of potential buyers went through this thought process and maybe concluded as I do that... I'm not sure I can justify buying it. I dunno, just wanted to share that opinion *shrug

Well, you’ve convinced me. Downloading the game and the legacy pack as I’m typing.

Hitman 2016/2018 are just wonderful experiences. I have played an untold amount of hours on these games and just earlier today I played through Sapienza and discovered that if I set off a fire alarm on the back of the lab the tech's inside will vacate the premises and make it pain free to destroy the virus --- i've played these games and this specific map for 3 years and never even clued in. It's a game that truly does reward experimentation and creativity.

George, you're my favorite youtuber, where in Georgia can we meet to argue games? I listen to your videos when I sleep at night. I'm going to watch this video now

I wound up buying this on the Steam sales thanks to this video and the game is actually really fun, so thanks for that.

It sucks that Hitman 2 was blown under the radar so much. Even though it still takes the best gameplay elements of all the Hitman games combined into a big playground of stealth and assassinations. I really hope they can get a break to ensure they make the third season for sure.

Your video for the previous game sold me on the last game, along with IO changing it to one package you could buy once after not touching the series since Silent Assassin. It was a fantastic experience and Sapienza is one of the best levels in a stealth game i've played this gen no question. I was eager for this but then 'episodic, but not really' and 'always online, but only kind of' and 'repeating missions from the last game' and with so many games to play right now i was okay after hearing it to let it sit. Sounds like many did the same which is a shame but its kind of on IO really. They already sold everyone who tried the last one on the gameplay and design. They just needed to sell the product and this looks like a swing and a miss. But this video does make me wonder what George thinks of Forbidden Siren. I know he's not really a horror guy if his channel can attest but those games are an exploratory puzzle game really and it feels like 2 in particular has sections that scratch that same itch i got in Hitman 2016.

Hitman Revengance

The blood moon has arrived, a new George video

hm2 has been on my watch-list since i was playing the demo for the first and noticed it recommended on Xbox one. You mentioned steam which is usually my primary since I'm a PC. I was just a bit put off since hm1 + hm2 on actually making a purchase because of all the add-on stuff that makes my head spin because almost nobody seems to know how to make or sell a whole game anymore at least "triple-a". I liked absolution and the previous titles so thanks for the heads up on the "GOTY Legacy Pack" kinda clears things up for me. I just have one question. Would you recommend purchasing and playing HM1 first or just skip it and get HM2?

I already have hitman 2016 and want to play the full Hitman 2. Which version should I get. Shld I buy Hitman 2 and then the expansion pass(could get hitman 2 cd for $20) or buy the gold version?

Do more reviews dude

He only made like, 2 videos that weren't reviews before this one.

I'll be scooping this up for sure.

Wonderful take on this. Not even a metal gear fan. Just love what this series is. Didn't even know 2 was out until weeks after release. I hope there's enough sales through the holiday season to encourage future development. The changes from 1 to 2 though minor highlight how the game is moving in the right direction. I understand the cuts to animated cut scenes. Bums me out but i get it. Especially after all the ip and publisher stuff, what a story of victory in the face of defeat. This game deserves so much more. I think it is more telling of where the market is than any dig at the development talent in the project. Stealth games are not as numerous or as successful year over year

Even the older Hitman games still had animated cutscenes... did IO just have more money back then to do them compared to now??... I actually really like the cutscenes in Hitman 2016 as well as they looked really good and it's a shame that Hitman 2 2018 didn't have them as well...

Just an FYI for everyone. Hitman 2 is already on sale 50% of on PS4 for the holiday sale and the Goty add on is only 20$.

You're the first person I've come across that recognizes the distraction of hud elements. My friends all think I'm crazy.

i was hoping to see a homing newspaper of doom lmao good review and the game worth it's money

Listening to Ave Maria is just so therapeutic. Calms me down after a tiring day. A tiring day of killing people.

I had a VERY hard time getting into it. I was hoping for creative decisions but I didn’t understand how to do anything so I was stuck on a linear path. But finally after trying a level 8 times I actually knew the world well enough to do it myself. The greatest payoff of all time. But WOW I’ve had a hard time figuring out how the Gold/legacy/season pass/online. That flowchart is what I was looking for!!!!

Like, Hitman is such a legendary legacy franchise spanning nearly 20 years at this point, but it's still a hidden gem... that's insane. This is hands down my favorite game series.

I love when you are gushing about some great thing, your energy, positivity and happiness is just so contagious

Is the gameplay footage kind of choppy for anyone else?
