Hitman 3: Contracts

Hitman Contracts takes a darker look into the world of assassination as Agent 47 recalls his past contracts, some being remakes of levels from the first Hitman game. The game manages to nail a dark atmosphere with grim storytelling and Jesper Kyd's amazing soundtrack which makes an overall decent game into an experience unlike any other. If you're willing to put up with early 2000's jank, I highly recommend this game.

Played Codename 47. Silent Assassin wouldn't run. So here I am. This series has potential, but so far I have found it only realises the extent of its concept in brief flashes. Compared to Codename 47, some mistakes have been corrected, but some have not, & some new ones have arisen. Overall it is a general step in a better direction though. The new save feature is long overdue & is integrated quite well: you have a limited number of saves you can make for each mission (how many you can use is altered by the game difficulty). This prevents the player from carelessly bypassing the challenge of the game with unlimited savefiles, but finally allows some progress retention in missions. A new A.I system is in place that dictates how suspicious an NPC is of the player (it is communicated via a simple & understandable part of the HUD). This gives some leeway + nuance to your interactions with enemies. They are far less likely to just start shooting you in the face now as their first course of action. Gunplay is better also. Unlike Codename 47, you are far less likely to die in 2 hits if you have good protection and aren't hit in the head. Aiming also feels more natural + headshots on enemies are much more respected here. However, this game was apparently rushed to market & there are some telltale signs of this. Namely, the fact that roughly half the missions here are remakes of levels from Codename 47. Personally, I was curious though as some of them had serious issues in Codename 47. All but 2 of them are generally improved upon. One of them is actually inferior (Hong assassination), the setting is lacking in 'life' + reuses a map from a prior mission. There is also no real overarching narrative, and the music selection is limited. Overall, this game works as a nice introduction to the series. It may actually be a tad too forgiving for some (e.g. the map showing all NPC movements), but if the concept interests you, you are likely to find some fun here, regardless.

A masterpiece. Gameplay and storywise. Better than Absolution and the recent hitman games. Works well on my windows 10 laptop.

press Scroll Lock, which will open up the debug menu, then enter the debug tab and turn info to on, then press esc. you will have keep it on for about the entire time you are in missions though. hope this helps The game is amazing though, atmosphere is perfect, gameplay is classic hitman, detection system is better than H2:SA and the remade levels are significantly better (except the Hong Kong ones)

it's my favorite hitman for a reason, it's the best hitman.
