(For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to refer to this game as Silent Assassin-and before you mention that the subtitle is a mission-rating across the series, you can blame the creators for this mess.) However, depending on what you consider cheating versus exploring a game’s mechanics to their fullest, Silent Assassin can vary from being the most brutal entry to the most exploitable game where the Catharsis of play can absolve its many former sins. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is almost as confusing of a game as Codename 47-or as mindboggling as the fact that there is a sequel to a non-reboot entry with the same name, HITMAN 2 (2018)-yet Silent Assassin is, perhaps, the true genesis of Hitman.
Available on PC (GOG/Steam), Gamecube, PS2, Xbox (Original, Xbox One and PS4 (HD Trilogy.)
