Hitman Tomfoolery
In the wake of the recent Flight Sim Shenanigans and GTAs Firemen I found this gem.

Is the new one any good?
The whole episodic business has kept me away so far.

I really enjoyed the first few, but Absolution ruined it for me.
Turned it into some stealth creep around Ghost Recon crap.
If it's gone back round to the more free thinking, explore at your own pace game I'd be tempted to dip back in.

It has.
It's basically a massive puzzle game now with a ridiculous amount of different ways to complete a mission. It allows for some serious out-the-box thinking.
The episodic release put me off a bit at first too, but it's actually a really effective format. You'd take so bloody long to complete/get bored with a single episode that they're essentially full games themselves.

Do disguises work like in the original again?
Once wearing them you can wander around freely rather than them being next to bloody useless?

They do, but realistically.
For example, you can wear a waiter's disguise during the fashion show chapter. But if you're spotted somewhere that a waiter shouldn't be, like in the dressing room, the security guards get suspicious and check you out. It all works very much like it would work in real life. I actually spent so much time trying to complete the first couple of chapters because I skipped trying ideas that I figured the developers would have never coded in. Turns out they coded it all in - or near enough.

Pretty much how it used to work then :D
I think I'll give it a go.
