Hitman 2 brings us more of the same fantastic stealth action that was present in Hitman's 2016 release. The game has a great amount of replayabilty, with tons of different ways to complete each mission. Much of the fun in Hitman 2 comes from figuring out creative ways to eliminate each target.
The game features a number of unique locations, all of which are very well done. This is another thing that helps keep the game feeling fresh for many hours.
The only real complaint I have about the game is that there were a few too many bugs. The biggest problem was whenI would run into a 'blue screen' error (the type where you get forced out of the application). On one mission, I had to completely restart, because the blue screen error kept happening at a certain point no matter what I would do.
Overall, this is a great stealth action game that no fan of the genre should miss.

I have been playing this game for nearly 20 years. The original computer game was glitchy, but still was a great story. The following trilogy was good but it wasn’t until Blood Money that It got its stride. Hitman two with the add-ons and downloadable content is the best of all of these! I enjoy going back to a mission and trying other variables and it does not lose its enjoyability.

Hitman 2 takes everything from the first game and ups the ante, while removing some of the problems of the first game: all the levels are available from the go, and if you own the first game you can port the levels into the second game and have both Season 1 and Hitman 2 right at your fingertips.

Hitman 2 is a really well-made game. Great graphics, huge levels and options to take out targets, revolving goals to keep you engaged and coming back to play more, AND the option to absorb Hitman 2016 into Hitman 2, with the updated graphics and gameplay features of Hitman 2. Highly recommended!

I’ve always been a fan of Hitman games, and this one is no exception. Immersive and fun levels, with seemingly endless choices in how you can complete a mission, giving you a reason to come back and try things a different way.

I played the original PS4 game when it was free with Plus. It was a fun time.
I bought this because of the price cut and I thought it would be like the first game. It does improve on a lot of elements in the game.
I don't find the game being obnoxious with some mechanics. In the original game, there were times where I questioned how the people knew I was already the agent, but it's a lot more believable here: you do something suspicious in front of them and they'll think something's up.
And Sean Bean is here as a special episode, so that's definitely worth a star on its own!

Awesome game that is very consumer friendly in that you can port everything you did in the first game over to it. The action is good, the stealth is great, and it has great replayability.

A Sequel to Die For

2016's "Hitman" was a spectacular evolution of one of the finest video game franchises of all time. Hitman 2 is a brilliant step forward from that. Hitman 2 makes a number of small, quality-of-life tweaks to the mechanics of the original game that makes the experience smoother. Additionally, whereas the quality of level design in 2016's Hitman varied greatly from level to level, the level design across Hitman 2's six new locations is nothing short of inspired. The story that connects those six levels is a bit absurd, but that doesn't much matter; the truly intriguing stories are those that you discover as you play through each massive level. All of this is to say: Hitman 2 is a phenomenal, must-play video game.

The developers are very generous with their content. The level design in Hitman games is second to none. You can also import content from the first Hitman game from 2006 at no additional charge.

These games are so underrated, it's insane. The gameplay is great and the arsenal of gadgets, weapons and disguises make it all the more entertaining. There is so much to do! This game is NOT meant to be played once, it is not linear. You have missions with multiple challenges and various outcomes. You play these missions and rank up to unlock items, alternate mission starting points, smuggle items into the map for a boost and more. If you have patience and like optimizing strategies and becoming a more efficient hitman, this is for you.

A familiar return to unfamiliar places

First and foremost, the title "Hitman 2" can be seen as a misnomer. This is - in reality - Hitman Season 2, as that was the original intention when the developers planned out this soft reboot of sorts as an ongoing experience. Anyone expecting a full-fledged sequel out of this title may be disappointed. Granted, there are a few new mechanics compared to 2016's Hitman (the famous briefcase makes a return!), the overall game systems and core gameplay loop are highly similar to that game. This is not necessarily a bad thing and has been pointed out in countless other reviews. But going in with a "season 2" mindset should set expectations accordingly. Anyone who likes to explore huge sandboxes and uncover a staggering number of ways to pull off an assassination will walk away satisfied. Not to mention the in-game rewards for doing so (starting locations, equipment, etc).

I played a good amount of season 1, and this game is better in every way. It takes what made season 1 great and expands on it. What adds to the package is that if you purchased Hitman season 1 prior, you can get all of season 1's main story content in Hitman 2 for free; and the missions are enhanced and updated with Hitman 2's new mechanics. If you're a fan of Hitman or stealth games, I definitely recommend this game.
