3. Hitman 2 (2018)

Agent 47 gets ready to take the world by storm in Hitman 2.

This follow-up to Hitman delivered more of what made the 2016 game great: beautiful locations ranging from a Miami race track to a mysterious island somewhere in the North Atlantic, plus the Maldives too… Hitman 2 has plenty of lovely scenarios for fans to exercise their trigger finger in.

Killing with bullets is not the best course of action here, of course, even though there’s a large assortment of guns available, from Agent 47’s silenced pistol to Uzis and shotguns. Nope, a drop of poison or arranging an accident is the way to go here. Also, IO Interactive bringing in Sean Bean for a time-limited mission was inspired to say the least.

Hitman 2 is a notch below the 2016 game though. The locations are not quite so stupendous, while this also lacks the superb motion-captured cinematics featured in the previous game, but is still a fantastic sequel in every sense of the word.

Came out on: PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
