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

I think Hitman 47 is a classic in stealth games. The game that made a breakthrough in the genre. And everyone should try this part to understand the essence of the Hitman game. Here, the pith of the game is cautious planning and perfect execution of each mission, which instantly reminded me of the fabulous game SWAT 3. The game takes us to three diverse parts of the world - we begin in Hong Kong, at that point move to the Colombian jungle, to end the game in Europe. The game consists of 12 missions. Before starting each of them, we receive comprehensive review materials, taking into account primarily the mission objectives, tactical tips, character descriptions with video recordings, maps of the area where we will carry out the action and a detailed list of available equipment, along with prices. As in life, nothing is free - we get money for completing the mission, but we will have to pay for the equipment from our own pocket. At this stage we decide what weapon to take, how much ammunition to buy for it, etc. It may not be an impressive arsenal, but it has everything you need to complete the task - pistols, silencers, a sniper rifle, machine guns for larger events, a nylon cord around the neck, a bomb with a detonator if necessary, etc. Similarly, we are not able to hide a larger toy such as a Kalashnikov in the bosom of a tasteful suit, which at certain moments in the game completely excludes its possession. Interestingly, our assignments are not constrained to killing the "object" - regularly you have got to carry out other orders, the usage of which can be more troublesome than basically disposing of another awful fellow. Exceptionally frequently, it includes maintaining watchfulness, taking an item from the scene of action or coordinating doubt at other individuals. Be that as it may, they don't tell us HOW to do it - and at this point we come to the magnificence of this game - the capacity to plan the course of the mission yourself and the joy of finding ideal arrangements. What I acknowledged the foremost was the best character animations I`ve seen for year 2000. They moved easily and naturally, characters passing by turn their heads looking at us all the time, guards on duty extend from time to time etc. It may sound a bit grotesque, but the skeletal models of cadavers made the greatest impression on me. A shot opponent falls defenselessly down the stairs, a dead body lying on the ground treated with an extra burst from a heavier weapon moves with a tremble pushed by the force of bullets, the bodies we drag twist their limbs, catching on the obstacles they encounter. At first, i myself reacted with a frown of dissatisfaction, but after a while, intrigued by the game, I gritted my teeth and tried, attempted, tried until i succeeded. I ensure that the satisfaction of completing a assignment "in one go" is much greater than securely completing a mission thanks to the "save" option piece by piece. This is often also part of the magnificence of this game - the first few attempts are about investigating the territory, the behavior of the opponent, finding unused conceivable outcomes of strategic moves, more and more experience until we reach the point when already know HOW to do everything - at that point all that is left for full victory is consistency, perfect timing of all actions, and as usual - a stroke of good fortune. In conclusion. Hitman Codename 47 is one of those games that you simply can play despite its age. It`s an inventive take on the stealth genre which has brought forth an notorious and long running series that has only gotten way better and better with time. It has its few imperfections, for the most part due to its age. Its still a fun time, but it is admittedly an extremely dated game in the event that you`ve played later entries. But they don`t truly affect the quality of the gameplay so, you'll be able to get a lot of delight from playing the first Hitman. Incredible climate, wonderful design for its time, possibility of numerous combinations, cinematic embeds and a astounding ending have set this game in a place of honor in my collection. 8.4/10

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.
