make hitman silent assassin win GAME OF THE YEAR

HITMAN SA GOTY

Initially, I was very frustrated with this game, as much as I enjoyed the more recent Hitman games. But, once I beat the first few missions, I realized how well designed and thoughtful this game is. It is an incredibly difficult game, especially on my chosen difficulty (Expert). It requires extreme patience from the player in order to avoid suspicion from trigger-happy guards. Essentially, everyone is an enforcer. So, you need to walk like you belong where you are and turn your face away when you pass a patrol. These little details do an incredible job at making you feel like a real spy deep behind enemy lines. The soundtrack adds to the tension and is definitely one of my favorites.
In addition, you can watch all NPC movements on your map, something that isn't possible in the other Hitman games I've played. I learned how powerful this can be and it allows you to devise a master plan and execute it. In effect, I leave every mission feeling like I executed it the same way that 47 would have. I highly recommend you give this game a fair shot if you want true satisfaction out of playing a game.
