10 Best Gaming Reboots Ever

10. Hitman (2016)

Hitman as a franchise is best known for its wide-open levels and it's fantastic variety on how best to eliminate your targets. This is exactly what it delivered when Blood Money came out in 2006, and it immediately became a fan favorite. This was then followed up a few years later with Absolution.

A game that only had a handful of open levels, replacing most of them with linear sections where you barely had any choices on how to proceed through them.

Despite the title being solid enough, it just wasn't Hitman. IO Interactive decided to rectify their previous mistakes, rebooting the series completely in 2016.

Starting a brand new story of Agent 47 and Diana Burnwood dealing with a huge assassination conspiracy, Hitman 2016 released huge, sprawling levels filled to the brim with NPCs, weapons, and multiple ways to eliminate your targets. With an episodic release schedule, fans of the series praised the game, and that praise caused two more sequels to be released.

Luckily for us, 47's reboot put him right back on track.
