Considering that a big sale is going on, I feel like I need to put this out. I cannot recommend this game enough. It is easily the best Hitman entry in terms of style. It may not have some of the features as Blood Money (weapon customization, notoriety, etc.) but it is amazing how well this game holds up today. The graphics, soundtrack, style, and gameplay blend so well. If you are new to Hitman, you really don't have to play Codename 47, as this offers a lot of the "greatest hits" of that game while offering better gameplay and unique levels as well. It's as fun as when I played it in secret, making sure my parents didn't know. First game I played that had blood and gore, and I got to experience this intensity for the first time at the astounding age of FIVE years old. Never been the same since, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. WARNING: Do NOT buy this game if you expect it to run flawlessly on start-up. You will have to do some work here to get it to run properly. Basically, the old PS2-era game isn't optimized for super high framerates. You'll need to download a .DLL file and put it in your game directory to cap the game at 60fps. You may also need to get a widescreen fix as well. It's absolutely insane how much people get filtered by this game because they can't go to the Community Guides section and get the download links to patch it. If you know the basics of File Explorer, it's not hard.

Overall: C- Enjoyable? Definitely interesting Recommendable? Worth trying for the price if you’re okay with clunky and dated gameplay (it’s an old game, so I’m personally ok with it). If you aren’t, try one of its successors instead Replayable? TBD +Unique singleplayer, stealth/action game +relies heavily on disguises, which are needed to advance through certain parts of the level/complete objectives ++level design +Third-person/First-person toggle +puzzle-ish—you need to piece things together and figure out the best path towards completing your objective(s) +/-no cohesion between missions, but I understand that these missions are “flashbacks” and don’t necessarily tie into each other +/-little to no guidance throughout, only OCCASIONAL vague “points of interest” marked on map—may attract those who are up for a challenge and scare off those who aren’t +/-because of the above, there’s a ton of exploration -a bit too much trial and error -overarching story not engaging imo -bugs and audio glitches—luckily they don’t have a huuuge impact on the overall experience Steam Deck compatibility: ✅ ~8hrs at full charge with video settings maxed Runs smooth with no crashes Button prompts show as mouse and keyboard buttons Native resolution compatible Needs a button reconfiguration for a less-clunky feel ***Final grade pending, will update review when game is completed***

Hitman 1 missions remake and new missions in contracts is made very well, each mission is unique on its own and need to do lots to trial and error to properly finish it in silent assassin rating. Game runs fine on windows 11 without any issue but you need to install 2 things, 1 is legacy directx packages from microsoft and another is widescreen fix patch

The Meat King Party could be one of the best levels in all of the Hitman games. The atmosphere in this game is incredible. Play this game for sure

Aug. 2024

nice game , if want to play this on win10 or 11 and you're having some kind of slow motion and your game is like freezing, you better go to the game folder and find hitman contracts .ini file and add these: WINDOW 1 then StartUpperPos from 2,2 to 0,0. i wasnt finder of this issue but i did search for it and i wanted to share the solution with you.
