Oh ♥♥♥♥, son, it's Hitman: Contracts!

The third game in the Hitman series, and the last to be released on Steam (because licensing issues), Hitman Contracts takes place between two missions of Blood Money, the next game in the series.

It doesn't really introduce anything new, but rather builds on what was already there in Codename 47 and Silent Assassin; the controls have been improved, the learning curve is more gentle, and there are a LOT more ways to navigate the levels and dispose of your targets (there are always at least three different ways to kill them).

It focuses more on stealth, meaning run'n'gun, while an absolute blast for a change of pace in Codename 47 and Silent Assassin, is not longer a "viable option"; you can still definitely DO it, but it's harder to do because the enemies act smarter and together to take you down instead of rushing head-first into a stream of bullets.

Four levels from Codename 47 are remade in this game, something I personally like as I found Codename 47 the weaker game in the series, but the rest of the levels are new to this game.

Bottom line is, if you like the Hitman games, this is definitely a good game to own, especially for the price you're paying.
