![]() Hitman Go literally looks like you’re staring down at a board game version of a Hitman map, with little figurines representing characters like Agent 47, guards, and the target. And unlike many other mobile game spin-offs of beloved AAA series, Hitman Go surprised players by being an incredible amount of tricky fun. Given that Hitman games are, at their core, a series of violent puzzles, it seems natural that a purely puzzle game spin-off would work its way into the series. ![]() In terms of consistency, all of the missions featured in Contracts are excellent and provide a god-tier gaming experience whether you played Codename 47 or not.ĭeveloper: Square Enix Montreal Publisher: Square Enix Platform(s): PC, PS4, Vita, iOS, Android Things like an enhanced sneak mode actually make it feel like a new experience, with a slightly darker tone than the previous games. ![]() The game does surprisingly very well with remastering and improving gameplay elements, even only four years after the first game’s release. The visuals are pretty much identical to Silent Assassin, just taking place entirely at night. Unique in the fact that it’s technically both a sequel to Silent Assassin and a remake of Codename 47, Hitman Contracts is kind of like a “Greatest Hits” compilation, all set to the background of Agent 47 bleeding to death. But disguising yourself to access different parts of the (tragically small) map was revolutionary in gaming at the time and would become a hallmark of stealth or puzzle-driven action games in the future.ĭeveloper: IO Interactive Publisher: Eidos Interactive Platform(s): PC, PS2, Xbox Only available for Windows, the game was flawed and clunky, with too much focus on a confusing storyline rather than on player experience or level design.Ĭodename 47’s difficulty level was especially frustrating due to being unable to save mid-mission. ![]() Released in 2000, Hitman: Codename 47 was a rocky start to this generally fantastic series and takes the lowest spot of the main games in this Hitman ranking. Hitman: Codename 47 Hitman Codename 47ĭeveloper: IO Interactive Publisher: Eidos Interactive Platform(s): PC In terms of the greater Hitman experience, Hitman Sniper earned the bottom spot when ranking the Hitman games because it overlooks the fact that some of the most satisfying kills you get playing as Agent 47 aren’t actually carried out through crosshairs.ĩ. It had some technical issues that could sometimes cause the game to break, and it just wasn’t anything particularly unique. Although it did successfully capture some of the puzzle essence that the series is known for, Hitman Sniper simply wasn’t able to deliver the magic of the rest of the games. If the sniper is your weapon of choice, it was a pretty decent mobile game. Hitman Sniper is a shooting gallery mobile game created as a spin-off of the Hitman series. It is noticeably more grainy than the telephoto camera's performance in good lighting, but it's better than what you'd see from zoom shots on most smartphones.Developer: Square Enix Montreal Publisher: Square Enix Platform(s): iOS, Android The final shot here employs the telephoto camera at a 3.5x zoom, which is using a feature branded the Ultra Lighting Telephoto Camera. This is the sort of feature you may only appreciate in a specific scenario, but it's unlikely you'll find a use for it every day. If this proves helpful in your everyday life is another question, but it's one of those extra tools that all add up to a make your phone such a well-rounded camera. This is achieved through a combination of the phone's auto-adjustable physical aperture and an RYYB SuperSensing sensor that Huawei says allows for far more light to enter the camera. This feature is called the Ultra Lighting Camera, and it honestly blew me away with how it was able to work so well with so little light. These images aren’t winning any awards, but you can still plainly see what's going on, and wouldn't expect anything nearly this good from shooting in near-total darkness.
