Hitman 2
Hitman 2
Hitman 2, développé par IO Interactive et édité par WB Games, est sorti le 13 novembre 2018 sur PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One et Google Stadia. Classé parmi les genres tir, aventure et tactique, ce titre utilise le moteur Glacier 2 et propose une histoire d'espionnage où l'Agent 47, après les événements du précédent opus, traque le mystérieux Client Fantôme pour Providence, une organisation secrète, en échange de révélations sur son passé. Le joueur parcourt des environnements sandbox exotiques, des rues ensoleillées aux forêts tropicales, et le jeu introduit de nouvelles façons de jouer, dont le mode co-op Sniper Assassin. La durée principale est estimée à dix heures, contre cent vingt-huit heures pour une approche complétionniste. Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 82 et un score OpenCritic de 83. La presse a salué la liberté laissée au joueur, God is a Geek notant qu'aucun autre jeu cette année ne célèbre autant l'initiative du joueur, tandis que Gaming Nexus l'a qualifié de l'un des meilleurs jeux de l'année. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont toutefois comparé le jeu à une version 1.5 de son prédécesseur aux refinements mineurs, d'autres exprimant leur enthousiasme sur Steam avec des avis comme « Hitman dans toute sa splendeur !! » ou plus sobrement « Ça va. ».

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« No other game this year celebrates or rewards player agency like Hitman 2. This isn’t a summer blockbuster that relegates its coolest moments to the cinematics. Yes, most deaths will be shown with an abrupt cutscene, but it’s you that causes them. You’ll never see a target die and wonder how it happened. In all cases you’re the sole orchestrator of doom, and it’s a genuinely empowering feeling. »
« As with the 2016 reboot of Hitman, Hitman 2 is one of the best games of the year and is so far my personal Game of the Year. »
« That’s the heart of Hitman: giving players the power to create their own stories. And that’s as big and powerful as ever in Hitman 2. So I don’t care if it’s not the newest thing in the world. It’s still one of the most solid and rewarding games you can get. And it’s an ideal antidote to games that are more obsessed with looking immersive than playing great. »
« When a game rewards players for having fun and being creative, there’s little to be unhappy about. Hitman 2 offers that in spades and promises further additions and events down the line. And even after all those targets have been pushed off this mortal coil, I dare you to dive back in and complete every challenge the game has, you won’t be bored. »
« Even if the lavish detail, excellent writing, and world of possibility within vivid levels mostly just refine what came before, that’s because IO Interactive have all but perfected what they set out to achieve in Hitman: Codename 47 nearly 20 years ago. »
« Hitman 2 may just be more Hitman, but it's somehow even better than before. The levels are all fantastic, the assassinations possible are all clever (and silly), the satirical writing is at its best. The assassination sandbox has never been more satisfying, and its slight technical hiccups and lackluster multiplayer do little to hold back the baldest assassin of them all. Even in your sixth or so time prancing through a map, you're bound to discover a new opportunity, or a new potentially-weaponized surprise, around the corner. »
« Hitman 2 is the series at its very best — players can play with a razor sharp edge and cut surgically through a level or take a blunt approach and make hilariously bad decisions and deal with the brutal outcome. »
« As it is in life, perception and consideration go a very long way here, and players who are willing to put in the proper amount of time and effort will see just how perplexing, engaging, and rewarding stealth action games can be. Hitman 2 will undoubtedly serve to define the stealth genre for years to come, and I can't wait to see where IO Interactive takes the series next. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« "Hitman 2" is more or less "Hitman 1.5". It plays exactly the same as its predecessor, but with some minor refinements. Also, unlike the first game, this sequel is a fully featured title. There is no episodic DLC. And for better or worse, the levels are much bigger in scope. There are dozens of ways to complete assignments and execute "marks" in each map. Every level is beautifully designed and series veterans will want to discover every nook and cranny. But new fans might be overwhelmed at the complex designs. "Hitman 2" also introduces the Sniper Assassin challenge maps which are simple, but fun. They remind me of the old "Silent Scope" arcade games. Of the three modern "Hitman" games, this second one is probably the least impressive. But it's still very good. I'd rate it with an 8.3 out of 10. »
« Me he comprado el hitman 2 hace poco y de lo bueno que era me los e pasado en 3 días, la formas de matar son casi infinitas. Es una pasada. »

« It re-proposes what was seen in the previous chapter with some novelties in terms of settings, graphics and gameplay, but it seems like a copy of the previous one updated with new missions without a great deal of work in terms of story or game development compared to the previous one. »
« Overall, the levels aren’t as strong as Season 1 and the trying to gain access to all the DLC levels is needlessly complicated, but the core concept of investigating and experimenting with different ways to complete each mission is still good fun the second time around. »
« Good. its new hitman so of course its good. definitely the worst of the three. but being the worst doesn't mean its bad. »
« Played for the first time on master difficulty and even then found it to be super easy, i had a harder time beating levels on hitman one on easier difficulties then i did on any levels in hitman two pretty much every level is just walk right up to the person and throw knife or screwdriver then walk away, you don't even have to kill anyone else but the people you're meant to, sure you have to knock a few people out some times and change your outfit but over all the hardest part of the game is just finding your way around the maps, the first game took me 20 hours to beat this one was less then 7. »
« es casi perfecto, solo que a veces se queda corto de destinos en la version standard, pero en general mucha variedad y es complicado que te aburras »
