Would you classify the Hitman games as stealth games or something else? They're not really based around sneaking around like say splinter cell or mgs.

Adventure game for impatient people.
They always felt like role playing games to me, love them.
Too bad now the franchise is shit
Puzzle/Adventure games. Find the perfect solution to the puzzle of murder

But they are?
Bump .

Metal Gear/ Splinter Cell are stealth?
Time to take off your nostalgia goggles because Chaos Theory and MGS3 are not the only games in those series.
Also to answer your question it is an action puzzle game with stealth and social stealth mechanics as core features.
Costume party simulators.

The new game is pretty great.

You do plenty of sneaking in Hitman games, you just aren't crouched down, hiding in shadows to do it.
Creeping around, finding or taking disguises, and then blending in to hide in plain sight are stealth mechanics. Hitman is based around them.
Stealth is all about avoiding detection. If nobody knows you're there, then you are being stealthy. You can achieve this in most games by crawling through the dark. In Hitman, you can achieve it by putting on a waiter uniform and serving your target a poisoned drink.

>Puzzle/Adventure games. Find the perfect solution to the puzzle of murder
Each murder (with a few exceptions from the first couple of games) has multiple 'perfect' solutions. All of them involve sneaking and being stealthy. Hitman is well and truly about stealth.

They are more of puzzle games.

Calling them puzzle games implies that each mission has one answer and the gameplay is about figuring out what it is.
Hitman's gameplay is about being given an objective and creating your own way to achieve it, with there being many different 'answers' to the problem.
Calling Hitman a puzzle game isn't really accurate. It gives a vague, broad sense of the series, but fails to reflect the actual experience.
Are episode 2 & 3 worth purchase? I genuinely enjoyed the first episode, there isn't any recently released game that captures it's Paris level feel.
I always choose to poison the Boxer mix then drown Niko in the bathroom.

They're better than the first so yes, they're worth getting

Sapienza and Marrakesh are pretty good. Open, lots of options, interesting. I prefer Sapienza. I'd recommend both, but I would prioritise Sapienza.

Stealth, you hide in plain sight

It's a more realized Assassin's Creed, that should have been a subtitle. Hitman: Assassin's Creed. Seeing an edgelord move through the crowd with a hood over his face is easier to spot than being killed in the bathroom while you vomit out your soul.
I'd call them something more akin to RunNGun
>>340443004
I'd say they're stealth games with action-adventure elements.

Thanks, anons. Are they selling pretty well? , I'd like to see what they'd offer with pre-orders if it ever seen a physical release. Wasn't it five episodes before they considered that?

Well unless you're playing Absolution
