A beautiful, cinematic part of the series with a plot in the spirit of "Mission: Impossible", the 47th is alone against the police, the agency, the bandits and must cleanse this sinful earth of all reptiles. The plot is simple, but there are no questions about it. True, the emphasis here is on stealth rather than on eliminating targets. You often have to dive through ventilation pipes and hide. This is the first part of the series where sometimes it is easier to go through without a disguise, because enemies can quickly reveal their disguise. The first part of the series, where it was easier for me to blow up several targets using explosives. No contracts, 20 related story missions, divided into sublevels, you can only save at the beginning of the sublevel. Therefore, there is no choice of weapons at the beginning, you have to act according to the circumstances, using everything that is not nailed to the floor; for those who like to sniper, you can find a rifle in several missions. In some missions you don’t need to kill anyone at all, just get from point A to point B, but this will not be easy to do, and the last missions are frankly hellish. And, of course, there are several options for passing, not as many as usual, but there will definitely be 2-3, even on tiny maps, you just need to explore the territory very well.
The complexity of the game is determined not only by the difficulty level (by the way, there are 5 of them here and you can change each mission), but also depends on your inner perfectionist. Do you want to pass quietly, without any fuss, without killing unnecessary people, and without changing clothes? - then you will have to hone every step, think about how best to distract enemies, where and when to hide. You can just mash everyone on the map if you can - because it's very difficult. There are dozens of enemies in each location. One time I got tired of sneaking around, killed everyone - it turned out to be 40 people!! And yet, this is Hitman, so it won’t be fun and beautiful. Although there is one way to make a headshot on several enemies at once with time slowing down, I couldn’t manage to do more than five at a time, and the noise immediately rises, so then it all starts getting worse.
The combat system is complex, every second time I was successfully beaten, and there is not much point in it - just for the sake of a couple of tests.
Tests are an interesting thing, some of them tell you how you can pass the level, without them it can be difficult to guess some accidents.
It took me about 45 hours to complete, and at the end there was a pleasant aftertaste. I even want to redo some things differently, because... The passages are mutually exclusive, fortunately you can choose any mission. In general, it’s good, but the controls are still confusing at times and the stealth is still too much, sometimes it’s boring.
