Hitman play order

[Badgerworks]

Hi all,

I haven't played any of the hitman games, and I'm looking to get into them. Any suggestions on play order? Or which one I should play if I just get one?

Thanks

I don't know about order, but Hitman Absolution was pretty good.

Absolution was so much fun

From what I've heard, Blood Money is the best one if you're looking for the Hitman experience, but Absolution can be pretty fun too as long as you don't take it too seriously.

Any just play them.

It depends how well you can stomach dated game mechanics. They're all numbered, so I'd start from as far back as you're willing. Most people skip number one cause it's terribly difficult. 2 and 3 are still playable in the modern era, and 4 is still considered to be the highlight of the franchise. Absolution is very story driven with gameplay very different from its predecessors. Most people say Absolution was a fine game, just not a good Hitman game.

 

If you had to pick one, I'd go for Blood Money.

i though id get a free game with my G4ME ONEs but i couldnt find anything on the box

id say play contracts and blood money, disregard the rest, the majority of people I see who say absolution is fun follow it up with its the only hitman I played, hitman 2 hasn't aged great and I havent played 1 it doesnt like modern OSes.

I've heard Blood Money is the one to play if you're going to play any. Absolution got pretty good reviews (and I liked it too), but compared to the rest it's a pretty big departure and kind of looked down upon by series devotees.

Hmmmm, ok then. Sounds like the general opinion is BM, and Absolution. I'll look into them then!

Blood Money and maybe Contracts. I think the latter had some missions from 1&2 just remade.

 

If you play these two play Contracts first.
