    This episode is certainly not for the weak.

    Hitman episode 5 is easily one of those few titles that actually lives up to the hype in which    This episode is certainly not for the weak.

    Hitman episode 5 is easily one of those few titles that actually lives up to the hype in which it is the hardest mission yet, armed with the same basic loadout and thrown straight into the frying pan don't be surprised if you die around 10 times before you manage to find a decent means to kill the first target. Now let me say at first i hated this DLC, no correction loathed this DLC as i spent 4 hours plotting out how to do a suit only run (which generally takes me anywhere between 30 minutes to about an hour for perspective) but once i had completed the mission all i wanted to do was play it again in awe of the gauntlet this mission features.

    I was also surprised by this episode in the fact that it actually peaked my interest in the story side of things. Now where I have only just came of binge playing the Deus Ex Franchise in which both have a similar story traits in which there is an Illuminati type organisation and both revolve around the concept of stealth this may or may not have influenced my opinion. However in the main game i was surprised to see story integrated into the actual game-play aswell as in cut-scenes that provides a decent amount of depth and urge to find out what is happening next time.

    Gameplay is also still quite fun whether it be pushing a target into a sludge that quickly consumes them or finding scarecrow a brain in a twisted version of the Wizard of Oz, you are sure to get some homicidal enjoyment. Stealth is also in some retrospects alot harder and alot easier in certain measures as footsteps seem to be permanently muffled now to which there are now many more enemies to make your way past which can be become tricky and quite annoying when you find yourself sandwiched between two guards on patrol on a regular basis.

    Overall Hitman episode 5 is definitely worth the return and worth getting excited about for episode 6    … Full Review »
