It actually felt good to see Hitman taking inspirations from games like Thief, and Deus Ex. The Codename 47 was a perfect combination of some of the finest stealth gameplay, as well as shooting mechanics. In many ways, the original was seen as a revolution in the gaming industry, that presented players multiple methods of completing their missions. This was also the first Hitman that introduced the gamers to the cold blooded, bald, and sharp looking Agent 47. Hitman: Codename 47 was the first Hitman released on the gaming platforms back in 2000. With the disclaimer out of the way, let us go ahead and have a look, shall we? 1. We are ranking the list from the least favourtie to most favourite, and one more that you need to know is that these views are our own, and no way do they portray the overall ranking.

Now that Hitman is returning again as Hitman 2 we decided to take a look at the best Hitman games that we have played.

However, the main difference between both characters is that John Wick has the human element on his side, while Agent 47 portrays himself as the cold, calculated killing machine with no backstory whatsoever.Įven though they revealed parts of their origins in the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, many people are still under the impression that Agent 47 is just as mindless as we first saw him in the original back in 2000.Ĭonsidering how Hitman made its remarkable remake back in 2016, this game shifted the focus onto the stealthier roots that people loved and adored so much as compared to the action oriented route the game took in Hitman: Absolution, the one thing that people did not like as much was the fact that the game actually was available in episodes that were released periodically, rather than being released altogether. I mean, just take a look at both of the characters and you will see the heavy inspiration that Wick draws from 47. In summary, without Agent 47 there would have been no John Wick. The sullen, quiet behaviour, the sharp dress, and the beautiful ensemble of weapons. There is something very mysterious about him that makes him one of the best protagonists in any game. Possibly the most consistent thing about the Hitman series is our sharp dressed protagonist named Agent 47. The series has been around for almost 2 decades, and has gone through a lot of changes as compared to when it first started out. For the longest time, the Hitman franchise has been one of the best stealth games on the gaming platforms.
