Even though I am against the idea of being able to assassinate whomever you want, I liked the bit during the cutscene where Agent 47’s handler is all about how INA is neutral and doesn’t allow itself to be manipulated because it knows how heavily it affects a nation’s politics. We got to see this in action during the Marrakesh mission where you have to kill the Moroccan General Reza Zaydan and Swedish banker Claus Strandberg. Overall, the mission was good and I like the cause for it.

Hitman is a game where you actually question whether anything that you are doing, is it morally wrong to do? Assassinations are bad indeed and you should always live by the law, but, what if the people, whom, you are trying to assassinate aren’t living by them. To put this into context, let’s say you could go back in time and get one chance to kill someone like Hitler, would you try to be moral or would you take it? And I know that this is just a game, but to put forth a factual argument, in today’s world where money can get you anything, is assassinating someone who you know is never going behind bars is really wrong? In one of the starting missions, you are instructed to kill someone who had stolen countless priceless items. Even though Interpol was on him, they were unable to get him. And, yeah, you are trying to get him because killing him would give you money but wouldn’t it do us a favor as well, in a situation, where you know he can’t go behind bars? Even though there is no such thing as an ethical choice in this game, this game does provide us with social commentary on whether is it morality that defines us or money? Are we, humans, so incompetent that we can’t decide what is morally correct or incorrect? Or is it that deep down we know what is right but due to the world not being perfect, we just assume that that’s how it is. We know that bribing is wrong but just because we see how the world works, we just assume that what we are doing is how it is meant to be. And of all games, Hitman made me think about this issue. Also, assassination is bad, and law is the true way to go.

I have successfully completed the Paris and Sapienza mission in Hitman and I think it is a good game. A decent game. I love stealth games where the AI isn’t stupid, and you actually have to look around to find opportunities to explore and use them to your advantage. The gameplay looks and feels polished and every right step you take towards your ultimate goal feels rewarding. I don’t like the fact that it has what I call ‘the Witcher sense’, I feel that it takes away the fear of getting caught by an enforcer if you are not attentive enough to look at your surroundings. The story is yet to be revealed and I am really looking forward to it.
There is one thing that really caught my eye after completing the Paris mission. So, it was the beginning of the mission and I was trying out all sorts of things, and in accidentally, I snapped a one of the guard’s. At that time, I thought that it is not going to be a huge deal but, in the end,, during the mission review, I was actually penalized for killing an innocent person. Also, in the Sapienza cutscene, the narrator talks about the client (who is a major stockholder in Ether) wanting to destroy the virus on the ethical grounds. All these facts let me to believe that even though, Agent 47 is an assassin, he works for an organisation that believes in ethical and moral values and respect its trade.
