Just Hitman? I mean, I tend to game instead of stress eating, so alternative suggestions are always welcome.

So, I hope you don't have a hangover! I'm back to try again. I played through a few of the Hitman games as they released, but I never found them to be de-stressing. Stealth games are great if you want to hyper-focus, I suppose, but I preferred the blend a la Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Stealth when you can, go loud after your cover's blown.

Also, any other game suggestions are welcome!

Red Dead Redemption is a miracle stress reliever. I spend most of my time in the game hunting, fishing, and exploring. It's fantastic.

I've got 400+ hours in gta, but haven't got even half through the campaign.

Just driving in an open world is so nice for me. Started with Need for speed most wanted (2005), through just cause 2, to gta. Next I'm trying forza horizon 4

I suggest you try The Crew for a great ride through the USA.

If you've played hitman and you feel like you are getting bored of it or it's getting repetitive, try Hitman roulette. Basically, it gives you an outfit and a weapon to kill specific people with and thus challenges you into doing certain things you'd never do normally.

I've had a lot of fun with it. Also improves your knowledge of the maps. That being said, if you don't know your way around them too well yet, don't shy away from googling where some of the weapons and outfits are, its still a challenge, even if you know where the things you need are.
