Every now and then, a target from our past returns to gives us another excellent opportunity. This time, in the spirit of Gluttony, that target is The Food Critic.
I had challenged this same target over four years ago, in January of 2017. Back then, I failed. But times have changed, and I’m better than I once was, so let’s give it another shot.
Now, it wasn’t the type of victory that I was hoping for… but it is a victory and I’ll take it.
One of the most amusing aspects of this mission is how we’re lead to believe that since he’s a food critic, the obvious answer is to poison his meal. Except he doesn’t actually eat the food, so you need to think of a different strategy to deliver the lethal blow.
It’s extraordinary how irksome a couple of well-placed guards can be in the course of the average Hitman level. And that’s on top of how open and exposed his table seat is. I’m positive that there’s one weird mechanic or interaction that, if I knew/remembered it, I could get an easy Silent Assassin despite the crowd.
But sometimes, the target needs to go out with a bang.
