    Episode 2 is most uninteresting, inconsistent (game-wise) Hitman's release. Comparing to the 1st part, this one just pales in comparison. Sound issues are still here, some animation bugs, etc.
    I really liked the boat tutorial and ep. 1 but Sapienza was a disappointment.

    WORST HITMAN EXPERIENCE EVER! If it wasn't for xbox one gameshare I would be furious if I bought it right out. I was a die hard fan of the series until now. The waiting for additional boards was the worst company decision EVER. We already waited years in between releases and now we have to wait for the boards? The average hitman player plays through the game first and then goes backWORST HITMAN EXPERIENCE EVER! If it wasn't for xbox one gameshare I would be furious if I bought it right out. I was a die hard fan of the series until now. The waiting for additional boards was the worst company decision EVER. We already waited years in between releases and now we have to wait for the boards? The average hitman player plays through the game first and then goes back to master it. Not forced to play one board for two months. They did improve on the graphics and details but not a huge jump. The game play is basically the same as the last one except you can't tag enemies for a bad ass moment. Instead if you're faced with more than one enemy in a open area your force to look like a clumsy assassin with bad aim. The same guy that can throw a screw driver 50 feet away to kill someone. Then it's the exclusive targets which I totally missed because I was being an adult in life just to come home to try it for a glimpse of hope for this game. Well as you can tell I'm here venting about this trash. This game is so far behind of being a work of progress it's a shame. This is a game that doesn't make use of shadows to hid. God forbid if you could actually open up a door and peek in to see what's there, but no you have spidy senses to do that for you so you can just magically open up the door without turning a nob since you already can see through walls and sense danger. Another thing that really makes my skin crawl. They won't bring back the suitcase for you sniper. WTF!? Not to mention you don't get money to buy upgrades or spend on missions so basically you're a serial killer it seems with no motive but to kill because well....that's what's cool in your mind. I really want to just kick the dev's in the nuts for this slap in the face. The last time I was disappointed in a Hitman title was when they first brought it out on console and I bought it just to find out it was the same boards as the one on PC. 5/10: RENTAL AT BEST.… Expand

    While the core gameplay of the latest episode is almost unchanged, the content introduced in Hitman's second episode is the best to date. Sapienza's level design is a commendable effort, improving upon the game's Paris level in almost every way. If you're still unimpressed by the new direction of the Hitman series, Sapienza is a perfect chance to revisit the world of assassination.

    Overall, we can recommend a second dive into Agent 47's murky world.

    Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza builds on the first episode in just about every way. The dense multi-layered map, creative assassination opportunities, and an overall better performance makes this easily the best episode of the two so far.
