Hitman: Codename 47 is a stealth-action game released in 2007 by IO Interactive A/S. Players encounter disguise-based stealth mechanics where blending in with enemies becomes essential to survival. The game features hostile enemy AI that responds to suspicious behavior, alongside a fragmented narrative that gradually uncovers Agent 47's origins through trial-and-error level design. Reviewers note the experience is challenging and dark in tone, with a mysterious quality to the storytelling. Without a traditional save system, progress demands careful planning and commitment to each mission. The game holds 64% positive reviews from 1,940 Steam users and is playable on Steam Deck, priced at $7.99. Players highlight how the disguise mechanic forces tactical thinking, while the story reveals the protagonist's origins slowly through disconnected episodes.

About Hitman: Codename 47: As the enigmatic Hitman, you must use stealth and tactical problem solving to enter, execute and exit your assignment with minimum attention and maximum effectiveness. For a price, you have access to the most devious devices, but how you use them will determine if you retire as a millionaire or get permanently retired.
