    This game feels like an extension. Dated cut scenes. Dated engine. Playing feels a bit like slo-mo. Very linear. Constant crashing trows fun out of a window. Expected more from Hitman 3.

    When will the Danish learn?? Hitman became James Bond in 2016 and Hitman 3 just continues the same bond game ever since. Just give us Blood Money 2 with Last of Us 2 gore system! But yeah no, turns out James Bond is in your DNA all along..

    this company IO has made the worst iterative changes possible in any video game series. Having perfected the gameplay in Hitman:SA; they've continually stripped and re-added features, from the hideous crawling simulation Hitman Crab-Solution to the barren "Hitman" series we know now.

This game is closest to SA, although w/o the 1PP camera & advanced AI from that game. Things I hate about new Hitman series and this game are as follows:
    - no 1PP camera, absolutely ruins the game from the getgo, the old series was one of the best 1PP in any video game ever. great pacing.
    - lazy online focus, SPG so why crappy user missions, 'leaderboards' (all fake w/o exception) and timed garbage DLC - **** off no one cares about that ****
    -reduced AI / nerf'd awareness. might as well play with an aimbot / wallhack.
    - reduced complexity and systems in every map compared to older games.
    Basically it's a Mafia sitiation, where the new devs just aren't as talented as the old devs who work in the indie space now.    … Expand

    Checked it after a year because it got to game pass. Gotta say I don't know what happened to peoples expectations. This game is completely beyond any. Poor old graphic models ( cool lightning is not going to help here) and also same thing as hitman 1 and 2.

    Boring game of open stages and confusing a fool who wants to deceive a hundred people without sound and all his donkeys have only a good amount of graphics. Porsches that are all shapes from 1900 until now

    Overall I think this is pretty clearly on the DO NOT buy list.    … Expand

    Yes, the game is Fun.
    But this content is absolute ridiculous, like it could be a 20$ Dlc for Hitman 2 lol
    The graphics are the same in all 3 Games. i cant believe i spent 50$ and not even on steam.
    Yeah and the biggest Joke is you need always to be online? What the heck its a single player game.

    Very much a long time fan, a beautiful game, but, for the love of god there are some things that are so unforgiveable.

    The settings are amazing, so much detail, hidden little pieces all over the place.

    The story is brilliant, played out over 1, 2 and now 3 explaining, who 47 is, brilliant and I never saw some of it coming.

    The characters are fully fleshed out and the hits, brilliantly executed, BUT.....

    The AI, ye gods, when will IOI listen to what the players have been saying?, it's just so shonky, it's not funny. NPC's that see you through the tiniest of cracks, through solid walls, hear "silent" take downs and investigate simply "because", or spot you with no reflective surfaces while with their backs to you. This isn't as if this is something new either, players have been reporting for YEARS how bad the AI is on the NPC's and IOI have done exactly nothing.

    And now we have Freelancer mode. WTAF!!!

    Put all those bugs into an unforgiving layout, then jack the bugs up to 11. It's not even funny. You get halfway or three quarters of the way through a syndicate campaign, kill the target, and because there are decoys, they take the decoys to an exit, there is NO indication they are a threat to you, you try to exit, and they kill you, no warning, just dead and that's hours of work ruined because, if you die the campaign is reset and IOI are too lazy or too stupid, take your pick, to do their job properly.

    A great game ruined by slap dash programming.

    I had given a rating of 5, now dropped to 3. On Freelancer mode, if you die in normal mission you lose that map, take a hit on your money and lose your tools and weapons you took with you but not those you had at the safe house.

    If you get killed on a "Leader" mission you loose ALL tools even at the safe house, financial hit, keep the weapons at the safe house, and the campaign is reset to the start.

    Just killed on a regular mission, yet due to IOI's slap dash rush to use Freelancer mode to get more money, and releasing the update before it was ready, I got killed on a regular mission on the final level but got reset as if it were a Leader mission.

    I'd call IOI incompetent, but they don't even rate that well. They've become another Dev more interested in milking their game for every last penny they can out of their customers, then getting the game right.

    Just another bunch of morally bankrupt, self serving grifters.

    You want to earn some points back IOI, let us turn off the voice of that sanctimonious, arrogant patronising Diana, the last thing I need to hear after your shonky piece of software has just screwed me over for the umpteenth time is her voice prattling on.    … Expand

    Constant disconnects making me lose progress. Missing Hitman 2 content makes it very noticeable how much shorter this game is compared to 1 & 2. A few of the maps are good but the game is just destroyed by bad publishing decisions & online only systems.
    The offline mode is practically useless because you literally cannot save a single thing you do.

    What I can say for sure, it is definitely NOT a game for stealth lovers. It is a game for Hitman lovers and only for them. If you not sure if you want to buy it or not and never played Hitman before, then buy Hitman 2, which is available for around 5€ nowadays. Graphics there is almost exactly the same, as well as mechanics and everything else, just story and levels are different. And if you don't really like Hitman 2, there is absolutely no reason to waste 60€ on Hitman 3.
    And yes, on top of everything else, this game is also incredibly short. Like many people said here already it is more like Hitman 2 DLC which barely worth 20€.    … Expand

Level design is boring, I do not see any reason to replay those as I did with first two games. With location like Mumbai or Santa Fortuna from previous game, or Sapienza from first one, it is really sad. Story felt like speed run... no emotional connection to characters, seeing Grey shooting himself felt just like content filler. Really not worth full price, I would wait for at least 50% off....… Expand

    Hitman PCVR doesn't have Room-scale in 2022. It's a bad PSVR Port. A cash grab from IOI with the least amount of effort from their development team. Don't buy this game for VR on PC its a dumpster fire of a release.

    Danish developers prepared a new set of fantastic sandbox environments, filled them with crowds, scattered useful gadgets all around, and said: have fun however you want. If the best Hitman missions for you were those based on freedom, exploration and watching the surroundings carefully, Hitman 3 is what you need. It is a worthy finale of an exceptional trilogy.

    Finishing a trilogy successfully in any entertainment medium is not an easy task in videogames. However, IO Interactive managed to close the new story of Agent 47 in a remarkable way. Maybe it did not offer new gameplay mechanics, it even removed modes from past installments, but the level design did bring a new depth to Hitman III that we had not seen before. Without having to change the usual Hitman formula, IO Interactive gave us in Hitman III a game with replay value, challenges to overcome and content in the short, medium, and long term that will surely extend its life way after launch.

    Whether it’s the great scenario design packed with routes and opportunities, the well written story missions, the many funny surprises, the attractive presentation or the motivating reward system - Hitman 3 combines familiar strengths with some new ideas like the shortcut system and the sadly PlayStation exclusive VR mode. Still, Hitman 3 is not free from criticism. This mainly concerns AI quirks, smaller logical errors and missing PlayStation Move controls in VR.
