Creative murder: Why you need to become a "Hitman" too

Translation: machine translated

By now at the latest, you should slip into the role of the hairless professional killer and render your targets harmless. After the digital release scattered over the last year, the complete first "Hitman" season is now also available on disc. Hardly any other game allows you to play in a more creative way. Want some examples?

In "Hitman" you are hired to neutralise various people around the globe. To do this, you dress up as "Agent 47" in various outfits that you have previously taken from unwary people by force. How you eliminate your targets is up to you. The numerous missions are gigantic playgrounds in which you can let off steam creatively and which invite you to try them out several times. I'll show you a few examples that will hopefully convince you that it's time to switch trades.

Walk over dead bodies

If you prefer to stroll through the levels undisturbed, you can try simply eliminating all the guards. You can also use the resulting pile of people as a hiding place.

"This is Yogaaa"

Yoga is good for inner balance - at least for Agent 47, which is more than you can say for the other person.

Can I give you a hand?

It doesn't always have to be a sophisticated stroke. Sometimes a little timing and a good hand are enough.

Don't trust a priest

Are they those dynamite fishermen now?

Unconventional weapons

Have you ever finished someone off with a bale of hay?

Tuktuk Boom

Sometimes a little explosive is enough. And cool guys never look at explosions.

The not-so-quiet little place

First poison your food and then use your head as a toilet brush when you go to the toilet. Or even easier: leave a gaudy surprise in the bowl.

Hohohoho ouuuuuuu

Everyone is equal in front of the Hitman and for the right outfit, even Father Christmas gets his red and white collar.

Escape in style

Goal done? Then let's get out of here. But in style, please. For example, as Father Christmas through the burning fireplace. No problem for Santa 47.

But all these examples only scratch the surface of what "Hitman" has to offer. The limit is you. You determine the fun of the game. Kill everyone with your weapon drawn? There you go. However, if you take your time and scout out the levels, you'll find much more amusing ways to liquidate enemies and that's where the fun of the game lies.
