Hitman - izigame

Game Info

Become the Master Assassin in an intense spy-thriller story. As Agent 47, you perform contract hits on powerful, high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world. Gameplay focuses on taking out targets in huge and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike and who to kill – it is all up to you. Hitman is an expanding and evolving world of assassination. The experience began with a Prologue and Paris location in March, continued with Episode 2: Sapienza in April, Episode 3: Marrakesh in May, the Summer Bonus Episode in July, Episode 4: Bangkok in August and Episode 5: Colorado in September. The season finale in Hokkaido, Japan arrived on October 31st. HITMAN also features a major live component, which is made up of Elusive Targets, Escalation Contracts, Community-inspired Challenge Packs and Contracts Mode. An Elusive Target is the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that we’ve ever created. These targets will be custom-created characters that are added to existing locations and are only there for a limited time in real-time. You’ll only have one chance to take them down. If they escape, they are gone for good. If you kill them, that’s the way that you killed them. There are no do-overs and no second chances. When an Elusive Target leaves the game world (one way or another) they never return. Escalation Mode is something else completely new for HITMAN and was created as a way to regularly provide a fresh challenge to players. You’ll need to master the location as well as the gameplay mechanics to complete a hit that will escalate in difficulty by adding new elements. This mode has a strong focus on having fun with the game mechanics and mixing them up. It’s more about being playful than realistic. Contracts Mode returns from Hitman Absolution; Play-to-create, mark your own targets, choose how to kill them and compete against your friends. We will also pick the best of the bunch and put them in the Featured Contracts list so you’ve got something fresh to play whenever you load up the game.

Haven't even scratched the surface yet but so far it's:
Hokkaido > Sapienza > Bangkok > Paris > Marrakesh >>>> Colorado
Seriously, fuck Colorado
Anyways, best stealth game I've ever played, the vibes are immaculate, Agent 47 is the perfect protagonist for a game like this and I'd follow Diana Burnwood's voice into battle.
Probably my only issue is that almost every single male NPC is just Yuri Lowenthal, whose voice is so distinct and insufferable to me and I just can't stand the dude anymore. And the fact he is in so many damn games just pisses me off. It's either him or JB Blanc. Can't you guys find ANYONE else to voice your characters? Especially when you have as buttery smooth and iconic voices as the actors behind 47 and Ms. Burnwood.
But other than that, perfect game.
Can't wait to play the others in the trilogy and then the James Bond game they've been cooking up. These devs and the Bond IP just seem like a match made in heaven. I think the combat would need a bit of touching up though for it to work. It's fine in a game like this where the point is to avoid combat as much as possible, but 007 needs to throw hands sometimes, have a sword fight with the cartoonishly evil villain, or get in a full-on shootout, or drive his Aston Martin off a cliff and onto a boat or something. We'll see how they handle shit like that...
Edit: A shame it's an always online game... It breaks my heart but I can't recommend it based on that fact alone
