Hitman vs Vanquish
Hitman
Hitman puts a whole new spin on the series, and is considered one of the best stealth games out there. Here you have Agent 47 in a series of new adventures that are bigger and more open than ever before.Rather than 1 full game, you have a series of seasons, each has its own unique location and story blended with the overall plot. Season one sees you working for the ICA once more and sends you to some pretty amazing locations. In these sandbox areas you have over 300 NPC’s to avoid, accost or outright kill. During the season there will be several expansion packs that expand on the area, move you to a new location or give you more of the story. If you purchase the full game these are free, or you can buy them in stages as a season pass. In either case you have an epic experience waiting for you with special unique missions and the ability to make your own contracts. With a change in strategy the developers have made one of the top rated games of the last 2 years.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
