Both Agent 47 and the other characters look and move like they’re the pawns from a Hitman-themed chess set, and when you knock someone off, you really do knock them off the board. What’s interesting is that, visually, Hitman GO fully embraces its board game inspirations.
There are even levels inspired by missions in such earlier games as 2002’s Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and 2006’s Hitman: Blood Money. Not only are there potted plants you can hide inside, and trap doors that instantly move you to an otherwise unconnected space, but you can also use tennis balls, empty soda cans, and rocks to get enemies to move to specific spots, while later levels let you put on different outfits you can use to sneak past people wearing the same colored clothes. The kicker being that, when it’s your turn, you have to move, even if you have no where to go but to your death.Īs Hitman GO progresses, the pathways get more intricate, and more populated, but you also get more tools as well. There are even characters who, depending on what they’re wearing, will move in different ways. In fact, to take someone out, simply move onto the space where they’re standing just be warned that they can do the same to you. It’s like chess, only if there were lots of different board layouts and everyone moved like a rook. All of the action is set on a flat surface, with both you and your enemies limited to moving one spot at a time, spots that are along specific pathway. But unlike a regular Hitman game, Hitman GO plays like a board game. But while the new Hitman GO Definitive Edition (PlayStation 4, Vita) doesn’t add anything new, those who skipped the mobile version finally have their chance to get smart and sneaky.įor those unfamiliar with the mobile edition, Hitman GO has Agent 47, as usual, trying to kill people, steal their briefcases, and complete other objectives before escaping the area.
Though because it employed increasingly clever mechanics, and both embraced and ejected the Hitman games’ tenet where necessary, it managed to be a rather impressive spin-off that was as fun for puzzle fans as it was for those who like the regular Hitman games. In theory, Hitman GO ( iOS, Android, Windows Phone) - a strategic puzzle game inspired by the stealth action series - shouldn’t have worked.
