    Slow burning, often hilarious, murder sandbox

    When I first purchased the game after Giant Bomb's GOTY discussions and played the tutorial and Paris map, I was moderately impressed.

Aesthetically, what at first seems like bland design, actually reflects the clinical, terse world of Agent 47, and the opening titles/music really set the tone too. Up there with the best games I have played in the last 5 years.

And the best part is that it feels like the developers, IO Interactive, feel the same way....
