Masterclass Level Design - Episode 1 - Hitman - The Showstopper
The first episode of Masterclass LD takes a look at the first level of the rebooted Hitman trilogy. The Showstopper acts as the first real intro level to the game after the two tutorial missions. The level contains a variety of means for the player to execute their objective in a level that spans three different accessible tiers. To complete the overall goal of assassination, the level requires players to visit at least 2 tiers of the level multiple times to accomplish their task. The best part are the assassinations themselves which while quick and effortless takes a great deal of time and planning to complete. Further backed by an intriguing narrative with dynamic character interactions spread throughout the stage, The Showstopper stands as one of the best levels from the Hitman series.
