Picks of 2018 – Hitman 2

So another year draws to a close and the team reflected on the gaming highlights of the last 12 months.  Which titles stood out?  How much time did they spend with certain games?  What turned out to be the most compelling?  How often did they think about breaking their Year of Shame promise because the hype was getting to them?  There were lots of games that landed in 2018 that gave us joy and pain, but there’s not enough recording time available to talk about all of them, so we’ve stripped it back to 3 that, for one reason or another, standout from the rest.  Here’s the first… Hitman 2.

In this, the first of three special end of year episodes, Matt, Ali and Andy talk all about Hitman 2, with some very minor spoilers:

• What’s changed since the 2016 reboot
• Did they expect to see another game after IOI were dropped from Square Enix
• What impresses them the most about the sequel
• Andy’s tips on menu design
• Cutscene controversy

and more.
