January 2017 Xbox One Video Game Releases
Hitman: The Complete First Season (January 31st, 2017)
Throughout the course of 2016, IO Interactive has released all six episodes of the new Hitman’s first season. Following series protagonist Agent 47, Hitman: The Complete First Season will see players exploring a number of different locations around the world as they are tasked with taking out numerous high-profile targets. Taking them down will require you to scout out your surroundings and the assassination options they offer before executing your plan.
On top of each of the high-profile targets spread across locations such as Paris, Marrakesh, and Bangkok, there are elusive targets to seek out and eliminate, and players can also create their own hits and compete with other players in Contracts mode. The Complete First Season has a butt-load of content to keep you occupied during the quiet start of 2017, and is well worth a play if you’re a fan of the series.
Constructor HD (January 31st, 2017)
With a fresh coat of paint to make it feel all shiny and new, Constructor HD is the remaster of the original Constructor from 18 years ago. For those unaware, players assume the role of a property tycoon who must beat their rivals and create a successful and thriving city. While this will obviously require you to build homes and commercial enterprises quickly, you’ll also need to manage and negotiate with the Undesirables.
The Undesirables is the general name for a bunch of different NPCs that can either help or hinder your progress to construction success. Your rivals may use them against you to terrorize your neighborhoods, squat in your buildings, or tinker with your gas supplies. But everything they can do to you, you can do right back to them. Alternatively, you can play clean and hope your rivals won’t be the ones to step out of line first… but where’s the fun in that?
