Games have progressed a lot over the past 6 years and IO Interactive have moved with the times, not only employing ideas from other games such as Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed and Arkham Asylum but also keeping Hitman’s identity. Of course things are more complicated than that and the game leads you through 20 levels where not only must you kill creatively, but also escape for your life, as you’re hunted as well.

Remember when you would spend considerable time murdering various people for their outfit which would lead to different ways to kill your victim? Gone. Remember in BM when you would stalk your target and spend considerable time running through different scenarios on how to kill your victim? Gone. Anyone who played Blood Money like me should remember a golden age of thinking stealth games, BM, MGS 3, Chaos Theory, these types of games are mostly dead. In is guns blazing, quick time events and stupidity. Gone is planning, tactics, timing and subtlety. Gone is planning, tactics, timing and Watered down rubbish, a disposable game made for our culture of COD style instant gratification.
