The games on this list are all ESRB-rated Mature 17+ unless stated otherwise, starting with the 10th spot.Ĭodename 47 is the game that started it all. However, we’ll exclude the “DLCs” and note if games have HD versions when available.

The Hitman series continues to tweak and innovate its mechanics and gameplay, an idea that extends to the soon-to-be-released Sniper: The Shadows.Īfter 20 years, and with the upcoming release of Sniper: The Shadows and Season of Sloth for Hitman 3, we thought of looking through the series and ranking them for the players out there who might want to revisit the older games. Interactive Entertainment, the series is still going strong. Even though it has gone through three publishers, Eidos Interactive, Square Enix, and Warner Bros. Since the first game, Codename 47 in 2000, the series has seen two soft reboots and a few misses. But as simplistic as that makes it sound the game instead focuses on more uniquely Hitman style concerns.Part of the second generation of stealth games alongside Thief, Metal Gear Solid, and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, the Hitman series continues to be the flagship game for IO Interactive. The scope wobbles a bit if you don't hold your breath but you don't have to worry about wind direction or the effects of gravity. In terms of being a sniper simulation this is nowhere near as complex as the recent Sniper Elite V2. Barcoded baldy Agent 47 has to assassinate the CEO of a weapons manufacturer and instead of employing his usual stealthy means he elects to set up shop on a skyscraper opposite and take out both his primary target and as many of his bodyguards as possible. Hitman Sniper Challenge is a very small game in both scope and length, and features just one mission. The game, which is separate from Absolution, follows Agent 47 as he embarks on a mission to assassinate Richard Strong, Jr., the CEO of weapons manufacturer Stallion Armaments, and his entourage of bodyguards.

Hitman: Sniper Challenge is a subgame of Hitman: Absolution, which is an exclusive download to people who pre-ordered.
