Though the sandbox-style gameplay of the Hitman games encourages players to take their time and experiment in teeing up a target's creative death, it's also fascinating to watch the intricate levels be thoroughly dismantled by speedrunners.

Hitman 3, while typically taking about 8 hours for an average playthrough, has been beaten in less than five minutes by TuplaPekoni.

This brain-exploding speedrun races through the opening Dubai mission in just eight seconds, and excluding loading, menu screens, and cutscenes, wraps the whole game up in a mere 4 minutes and 55 seconds.

Throughout the video it's clear that TuplaPekoni has memorised the precise placement of every single target and NPC patrol path, allowing them to barrel their way through each stage in literal record time.

They certainly didn't get a Silent Assassin rating, but it's still incredibly impressive.
