It's a modern Hitman made with respect for the player, the characters, and the stories. It's loaded with replayable content, especially if you either own Hitman 2016 or purchase the GOTY Legacy Pack. Elusive targets return, with the first target being none other than actor Sean Bean. The visuals and audio are both clean and detailed, and the gameplay is outright pure fun. About the only possibly negative thing is I wish they had continued the fully animated, goregous CGI cutscenes from Hitman 2016, as the Hitman 2 cutscenes use a still frame approach. Hitman 2016 was my 2016 game of the year, and now Hitman 2 is my 2018 game of the year.

This has some of the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up ♥♥♥♥ I've ever seen in a video game. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome.

Dear Esther isn't a video game; it's an barely-interactive movie. You walk around an island and listen to a randomized narrative for a couple hours. It has incredible atmosphere and gorgeous visuals. There is almost no replayability besides changed narrative dialogues. It's worth the same price as buying a movie, no more than $10.

Gone Home is like Dear Esther. It's barely a video game. You walk around a house, listen to diaries and read notes, and explore. There aren't puzzles or monsters. The closest thing to a normal video game are a couple combinations that unlock things. You'll complete it in a few hours at most. It's wonderfully detailed, and the intriguing story is pieced together based on how you explore. Once you complete it, you could replay it with the commentary tracks on, but that's it. Again, it's worth the same price as buying a movie, no more than $10.

Game of the Year of All Time
