More of the same as Hitman (2016) in a good way

Loved it. No detailed review here, this game feels like an expansion pack to Hitman (2016) with few enhancements. Hitman 2 loads in the same executable as Hitman (2016) so if you own both games you can play all the levels in sequential order. The only new additions I can note is stealth in brush/tall grass and a few mission objectives that deviate from just killing x people.

Levels are stellar with tons of replay value (with a shoutout to Miami and Mumbai being my favorite locations), even my least favorite level Colombia is still fun to play through. Story is filled with spy-thriller jargon, it's not the game's strength but doesn't need to be. The cutscenes have taken a noticeable hit due to Square Enix no longer helping IOI produce the cinematics, but it's a minor blemish in an otherwise great stealth assassination game.
