The Survivors

In this classic, stealthy firstperson shooter, you play bald assassin Agent 47 who returns to hunt down the mysterious Shadow Client. Don’t worry if you haven’t played Hitman before. The story is easy to pick up. The tricky bit is trying to outsmart opponents and the CCTV cameras so you can execute the target and leave in the cleanest way possible.

You can hide bodies, use disguises, pick up almost any object and sneak around the perimeter to find your prey.

Controls are simple to learn and are hugely helped by using the instinct feature which highlights objects of interest. The environment looks beautiful and the only drawback is that the pace of the game can be slow at times. Hitman 2 might not be the best game of 2018 but it’s certainly one of the most rewarding – if you’re willing to put the time in.
