About Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Play as a retired assassin dragged back into a life of murder by betrayal, accepting contracts across exotic global locations while navigating a world where loyalty is worthless and every decision carries lethal consequences. Blend stealth and aggression in a non-linear playground where you choose how to eliminate targets—from silent poison and sniper shots to direct confrontation—using an arsenal of specialized tools and weapons across first and third-person perspectives.
Learn your trade - master your tools - overcome your obstacles - outsmart your enemies - eliminate your targets. Remember: rash decisions bleed consequences. Know when to strike instantly, know when to take your time. Chance favors the prepared. Failure is not an option.
- Pick up contracts in exotic locations around the globe: Sicily, St. Petersburg, Japan, Malaysia, and India.
- Operate in a non-linear world where the outcome of your actions and proficiency as a hitman are measured on a balance between stealth and aggression.
- Stalk and eliminate your targets up close and personal, in either 1st or 3rd person perspectives.
- Execute your assignments with a diverse arsenal of equipment, from armor-piercing sniper rifles and explosives to chloroform and poison darts.
- Acquire and carry weapons and tools from mission to mission through an enhanced inventory and save-game system.
- Original soundtrack composed by Jesper Kyd and performed by The Budapest Symphony Orchestra.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players note that this older Hitman title requires technical fixes (DLL patches and DirectPlay enablement) to run on modern PCs, with some reporting it remains unplayable despite these workarounds. The game is praised as an improvement over the original Codename 47, but criticized for not playing like a traditional stealth Hitman game—detection is frequent and players often resort to killing everyone on the map rather than stealthy assassinations. Overall, enjoyment seems heavily driven by nostalgia, and players await a promised remake or remaster to experience the levels as intended.
For modern PCs, you need to download the dll fix and also enable directplay in your settings.1 found this helpful
I love the hitman games, but... if you play this like a hitman game you will hate your experience. This is definitely a game where you will regularly get detected, and everyone on the map immediately knows where you are. It's more of a kill everyone challenge. Can't wait until they release the master and I can play these levels right!1 found this helpful
Unplayable on modern PC, do not buy.
hoping that those of us who own the original get a copy of the remake next year <3
Much Much better than Codename 47, although it leaves much to be desired and still feels like a beta than a fully fleshed game
driven by nostalgia
