Once more, we join Agent 47 as he succumbs to another of the Seven Deadly Sins. This time, our hearts are aflutter, as Lust reigns supreme.
And as such, it’s our job to play matchmaker!
It’s been a long time since I’ve gone through a Hitman mission like this… guns blazing. It’s not the ideal way to play, but it’s a ton of fun in its own right.
As for the mission itself, I love it, for lack of a better term. I’m a sucker for anything resembling investigation mechanics since they bring out my passion for detective fiction. I enjoy sneaking around looking for the clues I need, then using them to draw a conclusion about which of the would-be suitors is the correct one.
More interesting than that is the choice to make it a 1-stage escalation. While that means there’s no real “Escalation”, it also means that we don’t have access to the save/load system. In other words, failure will set us all the way back to the start of the mission. This is why the moment I make my first kill, eliminating any chance of a Silent Assassin run, I just roll with it and start mowing down any guards that give me a lick of trouble.
I’m definitely going to need to replay this on my own time.
