And if you just like cool shooters, also give this a shot.As far as I know, the difference between the Legacy Pack (and GOTY Legacy Pack) for Hitman 1 owners and the GOTY Legacy Pack provided to Hitman 2 users is only in the Hitman 1 versions being free for Hitman 1 users. If you like multiplayer stealth games, give this a shot. Currently the only way to play with friends is to group up for the 12-player team mode, which is neat, but I want to hunt my friends in one big free-for-all. What it does need, though, is private match functionality. If Deceive Inc never gets another map or more agents, it will still have been worth it. It's a $20 game with no battle pass and, as far as I can tell, no grand plan to become a forever game. This might sound weird, but I also love that Deceive Inc costs money. I'm getting pretty good at imitating the way that NPCs will sometimes walk into a corner and twitch in circles.

My new project is trying to harness bugs for my benefit. Deceive Inc's civilians are especially good at doing things that seem suspicious but actually aren't (hence the murdered janitor). Though none of it would come together if it weren't just as much fun pretending to be an NPC. It's remarkable that developer Sweet Bandits Studios has managed to make a mechanic that barely exists in other social deception games-combat-into the most thrilling phase of Deceive Inc. The cartoonishly evil Madame XIU's automatic crossbow that'd be right at home in a '60s Bond movie.Chavez's holographic shield, which he activates by opening a locket with pictures of his daughters.Cavaliere's pistols that she reloads by sliding them against each other like a John Wu protagonist.Hans' golden arm that unfolds into a double-barrel shotgun.Larcin's pistol which, instead of reloading, he throws at enemies for extra damage.The guns and abilities have so much personality and flair too. I've been relying heavily on binoculars that let me remotely hack stuff without walking up to it (suspiciously), but I'm considering swapping it out for a device that lets me transform into any prop for high level hide-n-seek shenanigans.

On top of all that, you also pick two secondary gadgets to bring along. Cavaliere's investigation, for instance, can be tweaked into a trap she sets on terminals to mark enemies who use them. Every agent has a signature weapon, active ability, and passive ability each with three unlockable variations that I've just barely started exploring. I'm really impressed with the range of possible playstyles I've stumbled into after only five hours.
