60 of 327 · most liked firstI think Indiana Jones might be my game of the year. It’s Hitman meets Dishonored and I am having an absolute blast. Kudos MachineGames, you’ve knocked it out of the park
unlabelledView post →Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.
unlabelledView post →I will say, First Light has one of the biggest guffaw moments I have had in a modern video game. People forget how much of Hitman was a comedy game and 007 carries that forward.
unlabelledView post →I’m only a few hours into 007: First Light (review code went out very late) but I *love* it so far. Delightful mashup of Hitman and Uncharted, with impressive storytelling chops. Been a minute since I’ve been this into a triple-A game. And I’ve never even seen a James Bond movie
unlabelledView post →I think it’s funny that after Luigi did his thing the media went wild about Among Us but no one ever touched on the fact that there is a game called “Hitman: World of Assassination”
unlabelledView post →My daughter peeked over and saw me playing Hitman. She says it's a hide and seek game which is what the genre should be called (i have to play without killing anyone now)
unlabelledView post →Indiana Jones is the best slapstick game since Hitman.
unlabelledView post →Was gonna be a skip, but invoking The Forgotten City, Dishonored, and Hitman really is the key to make me play any game.
unlabelledView post →the best video game combat system is in the Hitman series because you can kill a man by throwing a banana at their head
unlabelledView post →Finally playing the new 007 game!! By the Hitman devs so I have high hopes! www.youtube.com/live/gPtMkG7...
unlabelledView post →Today all I want to do is play Hitman so that's what I'm gonna do! (¯▿¯) www.youtube.com/live/10_il9J...
unlabelledView post →Hearing reports that is not the listed gentleman, my point still stands and furthermore I would like to use a pizza slice as a weapon in the next Hitman game now
unlabelledView post →>enters the DJ booth >says he's here "for the next set" >spins half of one song, fucks up the lighting cues so bad someone dies >refuses to elaborate >leaves Hitman 3 truly DOES have the most realistic video game nightclub.
unlabelledView post →HITMAN is my favourite game & the series has been a favourite of mine for 2 decades, but I don't like the direction the series has taken. It is FOMO the game. For a decade I've disliked the online requirement and elusive targets. But now we have constant twitch drops and time limited celebrity DLC
unlabelledView post →Working on my video but I concur with this score. It's a tremendous experience and possibly the best Bond game ever made. It's amazing to see IOI grow into this as they leverage everything learned from Hitman while building new skills.
unlabelledView post →I was wondering how much HITMAN was going make its way into IOI's James Bond game, and this gameplay explainer left me pleasantly surprised. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShUy...
unlabelledView post →TONIGHT AT 8:30PM ET! When the Hitman devs release a Bond game, we gotta play it. It's as simple as that. We're checking out 007 FIRST LIGHT! twitch.tv/secretsleepoversociety
unlabelledView post →"James Bond as a Hitman game" feels like a sliced bread level entry of this is so obviously exactly how it should be how the hell did it take this long for someone to come up with it idea genre
unlabelledView post →Hard to think of a more exciting game license marriage than the Hitman team + James Bond
unlabelledView post →I wanna play the James Bond Hitman video game
unlabelledView post →Turkey's Yusuf Dikec has fanart, anime, and game culture obsessed. This is just a sample; even Hitman the game is obsessed and sharing fanart of him. Dikec is being called "Uncle-free-to-play" likening him to a skilled uncle gamer who never needs to spend money in games.
unlabelledView post →Leo Vader's biggest reveal from Summer Game Fest was buried in IO Interactive's Showcase: Hitman is getting full co-op! youtube.com/live/Aw1CCDU...
unlabelledView post →Unclear if this is multiple maps or just one, but you really oughta claim this regardless. Hitman is indisputably the best game of the PS4/XB1 generation.
unlabelledView post →The obvious one is Hitman, but I really hope it's Untitled Goose Game
unlabelledView post →oh hell the Bond game is WATCHDOGS meets HITMAN with A+ voice acting? Nicely done.
unlabelledView post →calling Donald Trump "45" was corny but these same fools don't realize calling him "47" now will make gamers associate him with Agent 47 from the popular video game series Hitman and think that he's cool like Agent 47 the video game assassin
unlabelledView post →Was expecting the new Indy game to be first-person Uncharted, but I'm surprised (and delighted) to discover that it's more like a Broken Sword type adventure game spliced with, curiously, Dishonored and Hitman.
unlabelledView post →Hitman is so interesting because it looks like a sneaky action game but really it's a puzzle and a timing game. It's weirdly the same general concept as Night Trap and Double Switch, those notorious FMV games from the Sega CD era
unlabelledView post →Hitman but it’s cyberpunk Seoul and you play as whatever this thing is might actually work as a game concept.
unlabelledView post →De-duplication was also a big part of Hitman 3 being only 60GB in file size, yet containing the equivalent content of 3 games + DLC: www.pcgamer.com/how-hitman-3... Massive props to both ioi and Nixxes for great technical accomplishments! Which sadly makes other 100GB+ games feel all the weirder.
unlabelledView post →Hitman and Untitled Goose Game are basically the same game
unlabelledView post →Hitman added Countess Boochie Flagrante into the game
unlabelledView post →The James Bond game is a globe-trotting stealth game by the Hitman studio. The Indiana Jones game is a first-person Nazi-punching game by the Wolfenstein studio.
unlabelledView post →Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin (2002) new bond game looks great
unlabelledView post →Hitman GO is incredibly underrated as a game design and aesthetic inspiration--and it played a BIG part in both TDSS, and now, Tactical Takedown!
unlabelledView post →As much as I love it, Hitman: Blood Money is this trope on steroids (just like all the men in the game)
unlabelledView post →007 First Light feels like a Hitman game for people who are bad at Hitman games but want to feel like they're good at Hitman games

unlabelledView post →Replaying the Hitman games after playing 007: First Light made me realize that embracing jank is the key to a fun video game. 007 might be smoother and prettier, but Hitman isn't a prude about getting broken.
unlabelledView post →If you want Hitman: ignore the story and enjoy the levels If you want a story-main game: don't skip the cutscenes It's that easy, hypocrites
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually really like it. i love my little screwed up and flawed videogames that have a strong artistic core and direction and really bold art. just another example of why you shouldnt take everyone elses opinion too seriously. from as far as i can tell this game has either been forgotten or swept under the rug for most people. the thing is is that hitman absolution isnt a bad game by any definition of the word. it plays well, looks and sounds great. has great level design and it is more then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite franchises ever. Once you realize Hitman is a puzzle and timing game and not an action game, it really changes the perspective.

unlabelledView post →The game I often call "new Hitman" is now 10 years old today. I don't like this.
unlabelledView post →Hitman: Absolution? More like Hitman: Absolute Cinema. And I don't give a care what the haters say, this is literally the hardest game in the franchise and makes nu-Hitman look like baby's first stealth steps.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would enjoy every level from every video game ported into both Tony Hawk and Hitman.
unlabelledView post →The full "Associated crimes" list just sounds like the template for a new Hitman game.
unlabelledView post →Just saying: a Hitman-style game where you play as Mystqiue would be badass.
unlabelledView post →The Black Sheep of the Hitman Series. This game is comparable to Splinter Cell Conviction. Its a good game, but its not a good Hitman game. This entry actually introduced a ton of the cool elements that the newer games are known for, like envriomental kills and being able to use almost anything you find as a weapon. This is also the last hitman game to allow you to use the dual ballers and take human shields. This is also the ONLY Hitman game that gives you a Point Shooting mechanic similar to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was an unfinished business for me. Blood Money was my first Hitman, then I played Contracts, because it was a good entry point to get to know some classic missions from the first two games. Then I played the new trilogy. The common ground between all those games is essentially one thing: it's a sandbox. You do reconnaissance, you pick your gear, you make your plan and follow it. It's been a signature style for all Hitman games. Except for this one. Absolution is different from all…
