Kill The Bad Guy

Puzzle-game with sleek graphics inviting us to plan and creatively realize the murders of bad guys. Indeed, we embody a killer in the service of a secret organization that hunts and murders criminals unpunished in a very personal view of Justice. Gameplay to organize each assassination, after a brief presentation of our target, we can observe his usual path and imagine how to use elements of the décor available to make up our act in unfortunate accident. For example, a crushing kill can be done by sabering a car or by causing the fall of a piano. The success of secondary goals and other optional successes can achieve a higher or lower score. I liked the artistic direction that opts for minimalist graphics and for the monochrome environment that has the advantage of highlighting the essentials: the target, the elements of the décor with which one can interact and of course the puddles of blood. The concept in itself to invent a method for murder by resorting to elements of the environment, to quickly organize and to coordinate well our different actions. Some situations allow several variants by combining different means available. I didn't like the hope of being able to actually show creativity to eliminate the targets is quickly disappointed. There is very little freedom and the possibilities remain very limited. The lack of maneuverability and a very inconvenient camera. A humor I'm not sensitive to. The customization of the targets: either we have too much info or not enough! Compared to the minimalist visuals and the fact that a Hitman does not necessarily need to know the details of the identity of his victim, the small presentation card is useless and one could very well just shoot a silhouette perfectly anonymous (if the rest of the gameplay ensured the execution part). And in relation to the fact that we are very fast in the missions which prove to be excessively repetitive, it would have been nice if we could differentiate our successive victims and their universe. The very questionable concept of the secret organization that allows to make justice by murdering individuals under the pretext of protecting society, even if one tries awkwardly to compensate with vain attempts of humor shifted. In short the game was very disappointing while I was convinced that I was going to love it because the concept seemed promising to me. The experience is repetitive, does not represent enough challenge at the level of reflection to perform the executions and above all is not fun at all. I played only a dozen levels before giving up and I did not touch the multi mode but it is really a title that I do not recommend, all the more at full price. In the little game genre but more tactical, I preferred largely Hitman GO, for example.
