Dominic Sheard: "Hitman, as the solitary name implies, is a return to what made the series appealing, a restart of sorts (not a reboot) for the sixth game in the franchise that brings back the open approach to thinking up ingenious ways to take down targets. The previous title, Hitman: Absolution, a title I enjoyed, was not everything fans wanted from a game in the “Hitman” brand. I even said so in my review conclusion that Absolution was “a decent stealth game but not a fantastic Hitman game.” This has changed for the new title. Not only has it gone back to the sandbox murder fun, it has also gone through a new way to delivery content, as Hitman is now releasing in episodic updates throughout the year, starting the season with the base game, which includes a couple of tutorial levels and the first major level set in Paris."
Stealth action games from the Hitman series are no longer available for purchase on Russian Steam. When going to the game pages, the message “This product is not available in your region” appears. The changes were noticed to us by one of our users along with a screenshot.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
