Absolutely fantastic, it reminds me so much of the fun times I have had spending it on awesome games on the PS1 and PS2 when I was a young lad.

The movement system is nuanced, the platforming is challenging and there are many collectibles that encourage exploration just what you'd expect from a retro-like game, who cares about AAA games when you have a gem like this.

Hitman 2016 is an excellent stealth assassination game where they took everything great about absolution and made the assassination maps even better, the amount of content in the game as well as the hallmark flexibility to approach each mission in a different way is the highlight.

However, this version is busted with no progression carry over, no upgrade path to WOA and no possibility to get missing DLC.

This version is not the GOTY version so even getting this for free there are extra missions that cannot be played because it is locked as DLC... which is impossible to obtain because Steam scrubbed it from the store.

There is no upgrade path because Hitman 2 is also scrubbed from the store, the only thing on the store is Hitman WOA which means that I would have to pay IOI again to get the definitive version with no discount. Additionally, even if I were to get WOA, progression is not carried over so that is even less incentive to get WOA.

The game is great, but I can see how IOI screwed people over.
