    Death Awaits
    HITMAN 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy and takes players around the world on a globetrotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations. Agent 47 returns as a ruthless professional for the most important contracts of his entire career.

    Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, 47 joins forces with his long-lost friend Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission is to eliminate the partners of Providence, but they are forced to adapt as their hunt intensifies. When the dust settles, 47 and the world he inhabits will never be the same again.
    Top of the World
    Every mission location in HITMAN 3 is meticulously detailed and packed full of creative opportunities. Players will have unrivalled freedom to complete their objectives and the game world will react to everything they do.
    A Platform of Assassination
    The World of Assassination trilogy is fully realised with HITMAN 3 as the ultimate place to play all three games. Players of previous HITMAN games will be pleased to know that it will be possible to 'import' locations that they own from the previous two HITMAN games into HITMAN 3, essentially putting all 20+ locations from the entire trilogy in one place.

    Playing the entire trilogy from beginning to end, from within HITMAN 3, also means that the progression systems in HITMAN 3 work across all locations. You can unlock an item in Dubai and take it with you to Paris, for example. HITMAN 2 players will have the option to carry over their hard-earned unlocks and progression into HITMAN 3.

    Taken individually, Hitman 3 feels like great value, with plenty of variety and lots to do. When taken as a whole, the World of Assassination trilogy is hands-down one of the best and most complete-feeling trilogies in video game history. It’s a fitting finale for 47 – at least for now – and it has naturally left me thrilled to see what IO does with James Bond or whatever else comes next. It might only be January – but I can pretty much guarantee this will end the year as one of my 2021 favourites.

    There's simply not a lot of stealth-action games that can hold a candle to Hitman III, with its hours upon hours of engaging gameplay and high replayability. The sheer variety of different locations and missions, and also the inclusion of all the legacy content, turns this title into something you don't want to miss at the start of 2021.

    Hitman 3 builds on the structure of its predecessors but doesn't recycle old mechanics. Its creative sandbox systems encourage multiple playthroughs with possible outcomes only limited by your imagination. Returning fans will get the most of this narrative as it ties up a few loose ends but doesn't totally stick the landing. It's absolutely brilliant in execution, though, as you replay missions for different results providing the most robust experience to those who spend the most time playing.

    A must-buy for fans of the Stealth genre, and a safe bet for those looking for a well-crafted third-person escapade that combines solid gameplay with high-quality, movie-like production values.

    HITMAN 3 concludes the trilogy started in 2016 in style, on almost all points. The level design shows itself as always brilliant, while the scenario really makes things evolve. This new iteration can also be a valid entry point for new gamers.
  6. Hitman 3 is a great finale for the World of Assassination trilogy. With VR support exclusive to PlayStation, it is definitely a game you shouldn't miss.

    Hitman 3 isn’t a game that I would call bad in the slightest, but it hasn’t done a lot to wow me out of the gate. It feels more like an expansion than a showy, new sequel. Still, even with a handful of drawbacks, the promise is there that this will only continue to be a game that grows and gets better over time.

    I've loved the Hitman series since 2012 and have loved every game in the series, and Hitman 3 is no exception. IO have put out another gameI've loved the Hitman series since 2012 and have loved every game in the series, and Hitman 3 is no exception. IO have put out another game full of engaging missions and a storyline that is full of surprises. Also if you think the graphics are the same as the first or "dated" you should watch a comparison video, as they are a big improvement with each sequel. Some have said its "boring" but if you enjoy stealth games or Hitman then you'll enjoy this one as well. Those who can't enjoy it are likely casual gamers or not fans of Hitman/Stealth. Expand

    First of all im a big fan of Hitman franchaise played all the games many times for many hours but Hitman 3 is definetly not my favouriteFirst of all im a big fan of Hitman franchaise played all the games many times for many hours but Hitman 3 is definetly not my favourite Hitman game.

    Hitman 3 is visually good and good optmized game. Level desings are amazing. But its really short and very easy compare to other games. Even you can complete it "suit only" without giving much effort. Most disappointing part for me was the game being very easy. If you want to know whats being easy compare to other games heres a list:

    1 - Almost no CCTV in most of the levels. Even if there is, its really easy to find and get rid of survelliance system.

    2- AI is just really stupid they are having hard time to notice you. There is less patrols and people compare to other games.

    3- Remember mission stories that you can have many ways to kill a target. There is really few in Hitman 3 even some missions missing it. Of course you still have few ways to complete but its still missing.

    Basicly even Hitman 1 training levels are more harder compare to all missions of Hitman 3. That was the most dissappointing part for me. I hope they get rid of this episodic storyline soon and bring a long and challenging Hitman game.

    If you LOVED Hitman 1&2 you will... kinda like this?! It's an okay game I guess. Known formula, less content (or so it feels to me).If you LOVED Hitman 1&2 you will... kinda like this?! It's an okay game I guess. Known formula, less content (or so it feels to me). Subtracting 1 point because Epic Games Launcher at least for me is buggy as hell (needed 2 hours to get the game working at all; at second start it doesn't recognize installation folder). Subtracting another point because close to a month after game launch locations from Hitman 1&2 are still not accessible in Hitman 3 (and I think it's a bit misleading that they advertise that progress can be transferred - I personally thought this means maps as well and would not have bought).
    Overall I think this is pretty clearly on the DO NOT buy list.

    Price was increased after steam release. It's the worst VR mode ever made. Don't buy this game.
