Even though the last game was stingy with their number, there were still a few well-made cutscenes that progressed the story. For some baffling reason, there are no more pre-rendered, cinematic cutscenes that play out between missions. Sadly, the game does a terrible job of presenting the story to the players. In addition to 47, Diana and Lucas Grey, all of the assassination targets are well fleshed out with copious amounts of backstory which ties them nicely to the main story. The story is a tad bit better than the recent entries in the series. Gone are the themes of catharsis, redemption and self-reflection and instead, the story plays out much like a spy thriller with a pinch of personal motive. HITMAN 2016 and HITMAN 2 on the other hand, have seemingly struck a nice balance between the story and the gameplay. Absolution did the opposite and we all know what happened next. The story was a slave to its gameplay and was just sort of there. The story was never the strong suit of the older Hitman games. After a shocking revelation, 47 and Diana are forced to take their own stand in a conflict larger than both of them could imagine. It goes without saying that the plot does not go from point A to B directly. After being played by Lucas Grey into taking down several Providence members, the legendary assassin Agent 47 and his handler Diana Burnwood goes after Grey and his militia to put a stop to this bloody war and uncover the grand scheme of things. Grey leaves no stone unturned and is willing to go to any length to take down the Providence. The secret organization called Providence which controls world behind the scenes is at war with a militia group led by the mysterious Lucas Grey.

HITMAN 2 is a direct sequel to 2016’s HITMAN and thus, the story picks up directly where the last game left off. The seventh entry in the long-running series, HITMAN 2 was released on 13 November 2018 Story & Narrative Interactive Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. HITMAN 2 is a stealth video game developed by IO Interactive and published by Warner Bros. Does HITMAN 2 deliver on its promises or does it fall flat on its bald head? Let’s find out.

HITMAN 2 HOMING BRIEFCASE SERIES
The stakes are higher than ever for both the series and the developer. But the flames have been rekindled and Agent 47 is back to its root with HITMAN 2. After the disappointment that was Absolution, we saw IO Interactive struggle to retain the series’ identity and adapting to an episodic model, only to be driven to the verge of bankruptcy. The last few years saw the Hitman series trying to emerge out of its niche shell and with it, came the good, the bad and the ugly. The unique concept of assassin power fantasy, gameplay design that makes a perfectionist orgasm and the cathartic orchestral score by Jesper Kyd made sure that the franchise stayed relevant, even after 18 years of its inception. While the series may not have enjoyed the global success of its peers like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell, the stealth genre as a whole will forever be indebted to the bald, bar-coded assassin. If someone asks me to name the best stealth games of all time, at least one title from Danish developer IO Interactive’s Hitman series is undoubtedly going to be there.
