Agent 47's finest outing deserved a proper package, and IO Interactive delivered. The Hitman Blood Money Collector's Edition for PC supplements what many consider the peak of the stealth genre with a loaded bonus DVD. You're getting the "Origins of a Killer" making-of documentary, all four Development Diary videos, every installment of "The Guide to Being a Hitman" series, gameplay trailers, TV ads, the full soundtrack with previously unreleased tracks, concept art, print ads, and wallpapers.

That's an absurd amount of behind-the-scenes material for a single disc. The unreleased soundtrack tracks alone give this edition a leg up for completionists. Blood Money refined everything the series had been building toward, giving players sandbox assassination puzzles that rewarded creativity and patience in equal measure.

Each level was a clockwork toybox of opportunities, and the bonus content here lets you see how those intricate systems were designed and marketed. The concept art traces the evolution of iconic missions from sketch to final product. For Hitman collectors, this is the definitive physical version of the definitive classic-era entry.

It sits on the shelf as proof that stealth games peaked right here.
