It's the year 2025, which means that Hitman: Blood Money is almost 19 years old. I'm pretty impressed with how well the game still holds up today.

As a big fan of the Hitman series, I've played it countless times, at least once a year, and I can definitely say that H:BM has the most classics among the levels in the entire series. There is some special charm, it's hard to explain, I'm probably nostalgic.

Far from being unnoticeable. The graphics are outdated, the gameplay is a bit clunky, the shooting can be weird. All these things are normal, a lot of time has passed, today's demands are much bigger and so are the budgets.

But it should be emphasized that this is the point when the Hitman series finally became what it should have been from the first game - a place where you have the ability to kill in many different ways, without linearity, where there is no single "right way".

Finally, I would like to add that to this day I am still fascinated by some small details (example: newspaper with news at the end of the mission) that are not of crucial importance for the game's admixture itself, but also how they contribute to the whole experience. I hate to say it, but it definitely feels like the games were made with more love, less deadlines.
