Parents' Guide to Hitman: The Complete First Season

While this third-person action game is deep and inventive, its steep difficulty can make it rather frustrating as well. As with all the games in this series, Hitman: The Complete First Season tasks Agent 47 with killing specific people, and good luck if you get in his way. Besides a wide variety of weapons, you have a number of fun gadgets at your disposal and can even knock people out and take their clothes to get past checkpoints and guards. But this is where things start to get annoying. While the game is to be commended for giving you creative ways to reach your targets and take them out, there are times when the guards seem almost too good at their jobs, to the point where this stops being challenging. It also doesn't help that the game doesn't have an "Easy" option -- or, for that matter, a "Hard" one for those who like a real challenge.

Finally, while this collection adds in three bonus missions as well as all of the missions from 2016, there's still some problems here. The limited time missions are gone, so if you missed your chance to play them, you're out of luck. That means relying on community created objectives, or waiting for other missions to be released to follow over the upcoming months, which can be irritating if you don't have any patience. But then, if you don't have patience, maybe an inventive but ingenious stealth-action game like Hitman isn't for you.
