This season’s pitch reminds me of the Hitman games. I played a lot of Hitman 2, and really enjoyed the way that it presented a limited open world full of characters going about the business.
As Agent 42, the player is tasked with executing one or more of these NPCs and can find a number of ways to do so, ranging from a pedestrian strangling to an absurd launch from an ejector seat.
The fun comes from repeating each level and trying to find all of the patterns that reveal each potential approach, or from figuring out the best way to elegantly move through the world and accomplish your goals as quickly as possible.
Sadly, I found the game’s overarching narrative somewhat lacking and at times incomprehensible, but the individual slices of life presented by each mission are a blast to puzzle through.
