What players say
this is the equivariant to "mom can i get hitman blood money" and she says we have hitman blood money at home
not my cup of tea. Controls dont feel smooth at all. This game is trying to be hitman, but its not even close. Im not going to say I don't recommend it cause some ppl are into the Noir stuff. I just think its boring
Bruce Willis and Jason Statem's bastard love child roleplays as Hitman Agent 47.
