I've never played a Hitman game before, but this might be the one that gets me. It looks so good.
It is. On another note, tried out Nioh, it's a pretty dope game but I feel what makes the game for me isn't it's gameplay but it's ancient Japanese mythos/wording and how they are integrated within the gameplay. You have different types of talismans to equip to your weapons, different types of guardian spirits to choose from(
each one has benefits to the type of build you're going for), unlocking skills in each weapon which involve you spending your samurai skill points to learn moves that are associated with that weapon, learning ONMYO magic(
I don't know what that means but it sounds cool) or you could learn some ninja shit like throwing shurikens and all that. It's incredibly satisfying to put your sword back after a kill in the scabbard instead of the game doing it for you automatically. Heads & limbs being chopped off is also a plus.
Also:
its pretty dumb.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish they made more quality games that take place in that world because I'm not in the mood for a souls like game but at the same time this is what is making me come back to Nioh.
