As the title says, Hitman 3 is now released since two months and brings under “one roof” the H1 and H2 missions, ending the whole trilogy.
Considering that, do you still (after playing H3) play Hitman 1 and Hitman 2? Just to get your points of view, thought or something else.
Personally, I keep installed H1 and H2, and I even sometimes play them depending of what I would do.
Hitman 1:
I played lately Hitman 2016 (I bought it in 2018). When Hitman 2 was released, there were still challenges that I didn’t achieve (like SASO runs). Last year, I finished every challenges to complete it at 100%, because my skills had evolved .
Currently, I still play Hitman 1. I like the atmosphere and the light. Moreover, the gameplay is a little different from H3 (47 climbs slower), no suitcase, no SA-free sedative state, no foliage cover…
I achieved different Sniper Assassin runs suit only (obviously not SA) few months ago. I was happy because that’s the kind of feats I wouldn’t be able to perform back then .
Pro 2016 mode is also interesting from a certain point of view. NPCs react to sound, a lot of suspicious items… It’s still difficult to me but playing the Showstopper in this mode is something I like.
Additionally, there are still Sarajevo Six missions (for PS4) and escalation contracts that are not implemented in H2. Do you think that legacy escalation will finally be implemented in H3?
Hitman 2:
The gameplay isn’t so different from H3. So the gap between the two games isn’t as much between H1 and H2. It makes H3 more redundant than H1.
But I still play H2 for the electrocution phone. It allows me to get rid of a target and test strategies to get rid of the second target in Master mode (Indeed, I have a save to approach my second target).
Moreover, the seasoned content are still present in H2 (HSF, HH and Mills reverie).
What’re your thought?
