116: Hitman: World of Assassination & A Hitman Series Retrospective

'Hotman' Paris Hutapea is an Indonesian lawyer, presenter, and businessman. He is known for his flamboyant style, high-profile clients, and luxurious lifestyle.

'Hotman' is also a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sho Kitagawa.

None of the above should be confused with 'Hitman' AKA Agent 47, iconic protagonist (according to a recent BAFTA poll) of the storied IOInteractive series. It's not something that anyone who is a huge fan of the entire franchise would ever be confused about... Isn't that right Rich?!

Whilst all of your podcast hosts grapple with the English language this week (Welcome back Fiona), we thankfully struggle less with our collective opinions of Hitman: World of Assassination (2016 -)

We kick things off with Rich's memories of the whole Hitman saga, take a quick diversion to discuss our first (light) impressions of the upcoming IOI developed James Bond game and finally arrive in the World of Assassination, just in time to be hit in the back of the head by a rubber duck. Oh oh.

Sophisticated, sauve, clinical and thrilling... Farcical, hilarious, dumb and barking mad... Either list of adjectives could be used to describe the last 9 years of Agent 47's career perfectly and ultimately we couldn't be much happier about that.

Finally, just before we float away into the sunset on an inflatable crocodile, we offer up our personal favourite Hitman levels. Our opinion on these is final because as Jonny English once said "The word "mistake," sir, is not one that appears in my dictionary".

Enjoy the podcast.
