![]() While the briefings that introduce each level are beautifully rendered in the game’s engine, the actual story cutscenes are odd animatic affairs, which don’t do justice to the substantial story narrative on offer - even if it does rewrite Agent 47’s origin story somewhat. It doesn’t help that the cutscenes that play out between Hitman 2’s six levels are really nothing to write home about. But if you didn’t, they’ll serve as a constant reminder that Hitman 2 is the sequel to something that you don’t own, and probably should, but also really reinforce the overarching feeling that Hitman 2 is like an expansion pack to those episodes rather than a complete sequel. If you bought the last Hitman, you’ll have access to them all here. Then, when you’ve downloaded the game’s various sections and booted it up, you’ll actually have to navigate past the story of 2016’s Hitman before you can get to the new stuff. That might sound fantastic for anyone wanting to just download the first level and get playing, but actually is just a sneak preview at how fragmented the game can feel. For instance, you have to download each of the six levels separately (which means each one has their own set of trophies on PS4, if that bothers you), along with another chunk that counts as the ‘main game’. ![]() But, unfortunately, you can tell from the second you try to install Hitman 2 that it was designed as an episodic release originally, and the machinery of that delivery system is evident everywhere. September’s three new PS Plus titles will arrive and be available for download on Tuesday, September 7.Hitman 2, though, has ditched the episodic release schedule and you’re getting all six locations in one full-priced package, complete with an overarching story and several chunky extras, including Sniper Assassin and Ghost game modes - although more on both of those later. Those who are currently subscribed to PlayStation Plus have until Monday, September 6 to download August’s PlayStation Plus offerings, which include Hunter Arena: Legends, Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, and Tennis World Tour 2. Fans of Dead by Daylight will feel right at home with this one. In Predator: Hunting Grounds, players either control members of a group of humans that must survive against other A.I., or the Predator, whose goal is to hunt down and kill each of these survivors. While the game is the weakest of the batch, a free game that is a lot of fun with friends is never a bad thing. Predator: Hunting Grounds is another fun, albeit flawed, multiplayer experience coming to PlayStation Plus. For fans of local multiplayer, Overcooked is a chaotic series that’s best played with friends. This Diner Dash-esque multiplayer title comes packed with Overcooked, Overcooked 2, and all accompanying DLC. Overcooked: All You Can Eat! is coming to PS Plus as a PlayStation 5 exclusive offering for September. It’s a good entry point for newcomers to the series from a gameplay standpoint. The stealth game takes everything that made the original Hitman a standout and expands on it. Hitman 2 will be available to download starting on September 7. Hitman is having a banner year thanks to Hitman 3, and PS Plus subscribers are getting a taste of the series. It’s a particularly strong month for subscribers, as the lineup features two critically well-received games in Hitman 2 and Overcooked: All You Can Eat! PlayStation just announced the new titles to come to PlayStation Plus for September.
