Kiddos these days and normies will never understand how groundbreaking this game was for its time when there was no other game where you could play as a hitman accomplishing missions in all the different ways you can imagine, especially for us in eastern european countries where most people grew up with a low budget ATi card and had to lower all settings to get a passable 20-25 FPS in most games we played, it is as hardcore as any other game from that time, either git gud or play something else, leave the classics to us old farts instead if you can't handle it, the XP era will forever be in my heart <3

It took 24 years waiting for a discount just to play an old game. I am truly a psychopath Not yet great but the game is still pretty much enjoyable even at modern days (as long as you don't give a crap about the low polygons graphics) edit: I was (half) wrong guys. Wait until you get to the jungle missions, especially the last one, it's pure BS 😭 and could make you want to punch the devs, but the redeem is there one amazing song in those missions Edit again for Honest review after beating the game: Being a very first game in the series, they have gave a try. Everything in the game is clunky; -The AI is random, sometime they just straight up ignore that you are in sneak mode and shoot you instantly without any warning, the redeem: thier voice is fun af -The level missions, some are unnecessary huge, frustrating and boring walking simulator (probably to make you spend more time playing, the others are just too short, easy and straight forward. -The weapons and buying system, thier accuracies are horrible. They'll give a big chunk of money as the game progress but you are a FREAKING HITMAN, you don't need them for other stuffs rather than some guns, you'll have a lot of money to spare in the end, so don't bother to spend before that -The music, not all songs are great but the good one are absolute banger Overrall the game is dated, not as optimized as later games but it still run better than Hitman 2: SA. Not an excellent game but it's a fun experience to try if you are into the Hitman series

First of all, only play this game if you consider yourself incredibly patient. You cannot save midlevel and you are going to have to watch the same cutscenes, shoot the same people, sneak around the same hallways, etc. over and over again. This game is also extremely bad at signposting / telegraphing. There are moments where it feels like the game goes out of its way to teach you that you cannot do something that you actually can. Some of the levels I thought were most difficult became incredibly easy after learning some small detail about them in a walkthrough. There are also a few terrible levels towards the middle of the game that you have to dredge through that involve a lot of running around big empty spaces. Despite all this, I think it's a very charming eurojank game with some pretty great levels towards the end (the hotel level is especially good and more reminiscent of the later entries) and a pretty killer atmosphere. Another thing to note is that this isn't really a full on stealth game like you might expect. It feels more like they came up with the premise of what a game where you play as a hitman would be, and then they tried exploring that concept from many different angles. It's extremely experimental in terms of design and structure for better or worse. Only hop into it if you know what you're getting into, otherwise just check out the later games.

Hitman: Codename 47, released in the year 2000, is the inception and very first game in the renowned Hitman series. As someone who has played the later entries in the series, i can clearly see that this is where it all began. The core gameplay and its mechanics were created in this title. Throughout different levels and locations, you are tasked with eliminating targets, or completing different objectives, like securing documents or items. This game is branded as a game that lets you find your own way. This may be true for the later titles but for Codename 47, there really is mostly only one correct way to finish the mission. The game features big open maps, which are pretty detailed for the time, which can be a good thing, however most of the time you are just left aimlessly wandering around it trying to figure out where to go. In this game, you have no clue what actions you can and can't perform without the guards getting angry at you. If they do, they'll shoot and kill you. Which wouldn't be a problem if you could simply save at any given time. But that's not the case. If you die, you have to restart. You can choose to respawn, but since all guards will remain hostile this is not really an option. That being said, in some missions there are clues left at manageable spots for you to find. However this is sadly only possible in a handful of levels. The levels themselves are mostly expansive and all have their own features. In this game, the levels are cohesive and based off of each other. There are multiple missions in one location, like for example the very first one in China. You are tasked with taking out a big bad criminal, but to get there you first have to do a few other missions with minor goals. The game also features a pretty cool soundtrack, which i find is often overlooked. Along with the feel of these old maps they might even create a slight feel of kenopsia, at least for me, which i like. Before actually starting a mission you can choose to buy gear for you to bring along from the money you have earned on previous missions. This is an incentive for the player to do missions silently as casualties deduct from the money you earn. However i have found that in some levels, like the famous "Traditions of the Trade", it's pretty useless since you can't bring any guns through the metal detectors. And by the last mission, i had amassed so much money that i couldn't even spend it. I'm certain it wouldn't have been a big issue either if i were to spend a little more on previous missions, basically rendering this feature a little pointless. Speaking of the last mission, it's not exactly great either. Hitman games have always wanted the player to only take out their targets without causing any casualties. It was never supposed to be a shooter, yet the last mission is. You have to painfully fight against 10 NPC's that can instantly kill you, whilst you are stuck having to deal with the clunky old controls. This finale is not exciting. It's painful and frustrating. All of this however, is pretty manageble. Codename 47 is an old game after all, and such issues are to be expected when playing and looking at it from a modern standpoint. There is still one, big issue however and again it has to deal with the modern IOI. This game is an awful pain in the back to get to run on a modern system. I had to spend about an hour figuring out how to even start it without crashing, getting it to run in a fullscreen window, and setting the resolution to 1920x1080. That's because there was no real effort put in into making this game accesible. It was a simple re-release without putting much thought into it. I know it was never supposed to be a remake. But that was never the problem. They could've at least put some effort into making this game playable on a newer computer. There is a great guide by CyrusVonNox01 on the steam forum that helped me get it to work, i can only recommend it. Despite all this, if you are a dedicated fan of the Hitman series i think it is worth it to take a look at where it all started. And despite all the frustration i still had some fun with this game. I actually wouldn't recommend starting out with this game if you're looking to play through the Hitman series. You don't really get that true "Hitman feeling" until the later titles. This game is basically a proof of concept with a lot of errors, that had to be improved upon before they would later become the masterpieces these games are today. Final Score: 5/10
