I just played the Hitman 2 starter pack mission and it ran well on my setup. I have the Paris mission of Hitman 2016 and find it can be a little jerky sometimes. Maybe it will run better in Hitman 2? I saw some IO devs saying the game is very CPU intensive because of the NPC AI. So Paris vs Hawke's Bay may not be a valid comparison due to Paris having many more NPCs.

I'm thinking about Danganronpa, game ratings are amazing, but again, these niche games with their own fan base tend to have overinflated ratings. Not sure if a Japanese visual novel is actually my thing.Danganronpa games are more than just visual novels, though that is a large part of them. However, these aren't your usual pick a waifu visual novels, these games get TWISTED.
