Picked this game up again after a year over the weekend and accidentally finished it with a total of 17 hours in the game. It's a bit short for Hitman, especially compared to the 200+ combined hours I have in the new and infinitely replayable trilogy. I enjoyed that it had a bigger focus on the storytelling, but I felt the fun curiosity to find new ways to kill your target you get with other games in the series was absent because of this. At times the combat feels incredibly unfair, but it is pretty fun. Not the best nor worst Hitman game. Fun.
Oh and Square Enix shut down the servers so it's impossible to 100% the achievements now. Thanks guys.

EXTREMELY underrated. I actually like that it’s linear because this game is pretty story focused and I personally found it pretty engaging. The environments are really well designed and detailed as well
Agreed. I didn't like so many features about it, but I kept playing it regardless. By the end I realised that when I put my expectations on pause, I did enjoy the game after all!
This was such a weird (and mostly bad) era for old franchises like Hitman. These games have aged solo poorly,. especially if you okay them on consoles with awful frame rates and sub-720p buffers. How come this was acceptable?
Recall playing this and enjoying it a good bit when it released. Fresh after playing the entire world of assassination trilogy, figuring I can work my way backwards, I now realize just how constrained and linear this is…
