Hitman 2 Reviews
The long-awaited followup to Hitman 2016 isn't perfect, but it's pretty darn good.
Hitman 2, like most of its predecessors, is catnip for perfectionists: It rewards patience, careful preparation, and attention to detail—an obsessive-compulsive alternative to trigger-happy action gaming. But as satisfying as it can be to successfully weaponize your understanding of the game’s teeming environments, to convert chaos into control, there’s a lot of fun in watching your best laid plans go astray, too—to having your disguise fail to fool someone, to getting caught dragging a body to a hiding place, to failing to clear out of a restricted area fast enough and suddenly having five bodyguards raining hellfire onto you.
Stealth gaming done right.
All told, Hitman 2 is a heck of a treat for Hitman fans, offering the most refined mechanics, craziest antics, and most complex levels yet seen in the franchise. Each of the five core levels can be played for potentially a dozen or more hours, offering fantastic replayability for those who like to mess around with the Hitman formula. There's an argument to be had that Hitman 2 plays it a little self, but when it's so damned good, and unique, at what it does, you'll hear little argument from me.
All in all, Hitman 2 refines everything you know and love from 2016's Hitman. Some minor annoyances exist, but there's little else that comes in the way to make this worth checking out for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
This is stealth-lite, a game made for the casual crowd, and on that note, I can’t forgive the game for damaging a series I used to hold dear. The intricacy of past titles is gone, and what is left is an empty shell of what Hitman used to be. Scan the barcode on Agent 47’s head and all you’ll ring up is a package of cheap junk food. Empty calories that wont sustain you for long.
The sandbox elements, the amazing level design, and variety of gameplay options on offer are all superbly crafted and highly addictive, but I do think that fans of the previous game may well look at this more like a Version 1.5 of the previous title
To sum it up, these days there is not any better choice than Hitman 2 in genre of stealth. Luckily enough, if you haven't got the chance to play the first game, now you can act as Agent 47 via the second installment with all the new features.

Agent 47 is well-prepared for new challenges in bigger locations with advanced tactics.

Hitman 2 is a disappointing follow-up. Instead of working to expand on the elements that worked in the previous entry, there's been a misguided effort to simply add bullet-points to the back of the box. A bad story, less impressive levels, and superfluous new modes leave the sequel lacking an identity, like 47 himself.
If you like stealth and hunting people, then this game is one of the best choices of this year.

Hitman 2 is better that Hitman (2016) in most aspects including story and gameplay and new features make it even a better game to play. beside that. Hitman 2 also provides great freedom in completing its missions and it's one of the best things about it.

Hitman 2 once more tries to deliver delightful moments in silently assassinating a person (eliminating a target). This kind of creativity is very rare in modern games and we don't often see a game which is so focused on level-design details. The new elements in gameplay, made the experiense of [playing as] the silent assassin feel more realistic and by compensating for AI shortcomings and the weak story-telling, managed to make this game an enjoyable and valuable game with high replayability

Hitman 2 is a brilliant game for stealth games fans. Various methods for killing your targets, level design and different environments makes Hitman 2 an enjoyable experience. Hitman 2 is not one of the best games of 2018 but it's absolutely worth your time and money, specially if you are an stealth fan or Hitman series lover.

The new missions, game modes, and replayability will have you glued to your console for hours on end, and when you'll finally earn that last achievement, you'll still feel like playing some more!
Hitman 2 tries to rescue what was left behind in the first title. New clothes, accessories and locations may attract you at first, but the lack of interesting extras makes the game more of the same.

It is still one of the best stealth experiences that offers a variety of assassination options with interactive world and side characters, but overall it's a bit similar to the first season. Both Ghost mode and sniper assassin are good addition to the series but after few replays it gets boring and repetitive, they need more locations and challenges.

A great sequel for those who just wanted another Hitman with huge new maps. New game is still as great as the previous one, despite the lack of big meaningful gameplay additions.

There's no forced path or endless pile of hints to the point that the game almost plays itself. Hitman 2 lets you play your own way, and it's all the more rewarding as a result.
