    Even after a beta that was amusing, their plans to release content episodically on such a tight schedule it troubling. This is a terrible product. Please don't support it.

    Pay full price for 1/10 of a game?!?!?!? And forced online play in a single player game???? Horrible business model. Wait a year for the complete game. Maybe.

I won’t be taking this from one that is. Stand up against those things.From what I understand with Final Fantasy VII, it’s going to be even worse. They will be releasing each chunk of that for a full AAA price. In other words, the remake is going to be a three part, digital-only game that will end up costing $180 for all three parts. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Vincent and Yuffie are sold as DLC. That’s the brilliant plan there. What is wrong with this company. They make the sequel to Tomb Raider a timed exclusive and now they bring episodic games and want full price for unknown content. hey are dooming the new Hitman to bad sales because people who don’t have my patience but maybe they dont release the full game in 2017 because of bad sales they bring it earlier who knows.… Expand

    To start releasing a game in monthly tiny parts is BAD on all counts. Playing this was highly underwhelming. I enjoyed absolution, but this has mediocre ps2-3 graphics. Finished in 40 minutes and im not going to replay as there are dozens of much better games to spend my time with. A waste of money to buy. Maybe next January when full game is released it may be worth it.

    The first episode was decent but short, it makes absolutely no sense though that they turned Hitman into an episodic game, it seems illogical and unnecessary to release an AAA game in episodes.

How dumb do they think we are.

    The whole update system had ruined the gaming industry by allowing companies to release half made games and patch them as necessary when players complain about different components of the story. Don't like the AI wait a month and we will have a patch. Bad server issues, here's a patch. The only thing worse than this for gaming right now is the idea of buying upgrades and in game currency to get better items.

    Have we not already paid for the game? Why are you guys allowing them to sell you something you have already paid for. They are intentionally making the in game currencies harder to so that you will purchase more currency cards.

    A disastrous money-grab from Square Enix that sadly foreshadows the upcoming disaster that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be, given that it suffers from the same greedy and absolutely unnecessary episodic format.

    But let's review it as a standalone game. For those who have bought the 'Full Experience', I'm sorry for your wasted money basically - as if the rest of the episodes are of this quality, you may as well as flushed your cash right down the drain.

    It's a mess. The core gameplay mechanic is basically a tutorial that you have to try very hard to fail, because the game holds your hand at every point. The game looks massive, but is in reality constrained, with Paris a tantalising but out of reach prospect. The graphics... passable. Story is very much "meh" for what we have, and who cares anyway as you'll only get a glimpse of it for the 45 minutes you'll play before the end. Sure, if you go for the full completion, you might get, say, 2 hours out of it, but there's no incentive to do so.

    Add to that completely unnecessary and consumer unfriendly DRM and you have yet another Square Enix turd on our hands.

    Yes, I admit I have a bias, as the whole core of me rejects the notion of episodic AAA gaming - I find it ludicrous. But if you judge it as a standalone title and ignore that facet completely, it's still a complete failure of a title.

    Oh, and once again, a message to the major review sites - shame, shame on you. For absolutely nobody to call this game out for what it is is a massive indictment on how rotten your journalism is.    … Expand

    This score might sound unreasonably harsh, but I cannot honestly give it anymore.

    The AI is inconceivably stupid. On the second mission (with the plane) I shot the target from on top of the roof (through the ceiling window) with a solider only 5 feet to the target's right. He did nothing but got on his radio and said something like "I don't think it's anything we have to worry about."    This score might sound unreasonably harsh, but I cannot honestly give it anymore.

    Opening AND closing doors with the triangle button? No ability to run? You can't climb over a small box, but you can climb a tall fence (the whole thing really forces you into specific scenarios). You can't jump over railing on the boat and drop to the level below? The crowds feel like lifeless cardboard cutouts. The graphics are very pastel-like cartoony. It all feels VERY DATED.

    The list goes on and on; either you play EXACTLY how THEY want you to play - or - waltz through each mission in a few (uninteresting) minutes.

    If you're a "completionist" and wish to do each mission 60,000 different ways, this may appeal. Otherwise, it's a very amateur feeling title that would be more at home on a last gen console.

    It has nothing on the earlier instalments. AND the episodic release is terrible.    … Expand

    I can´t stand the idea of a AAA game being released in episodes!?!

    Yeah the 1 Paris level have some re-playability but you will reach master level 20 in less then 3 hours and that is basicly 100% of the first episode and tutorial. So if you feel the urge to beat the game after your first taste you CANT! You have to wait another 6 months before you can do that.

    And this is not the first time this company won't let me enjoy a game I just both. Last year I got Just Cause 3, and it was a huge disappointment to me.

It becomes boring real quick and makes me get bored of the levels. I like all the levels on a disc to play through them as i please, you know, variety. You're not stuck with just 1 level. And i generally don't like downloadable games. I much prefer physical discs. Anyway, being a Hitman fan i purchased the intro pack to test the waters. And what a mistake that was! The game doesn't even work half the time. It freezes and crashes on the title screen and kicks you from the servers while playing. You can sink ages into the level only for it to kick you from the game and not save your progress, forcing you to start all over again. Then the developers, IO Interactive said that this game wouldn't require an internet connection to play it, that it wouldn't be an always online game. They made this clear. However, it IS an always online game and DOES require an internet connection to play the single player campaign. If you want to unlock weapons etc and keep them, you have to be connected to the internet! Yup, you cannot even used scoped weapons unless you have the game connected to the internet. Then the game doesn't even stay connected to the internet half the time. So, i feel really let down by the developers lies to sell this game and the entire download only and bizarre release model. I will be pursuing a full refund as the game simply isn't fit for purpose. After the disastrous Hitman Absolution, i really didn't think it could get any worse. But it has, it has gotten much worse. Io Interactive have gone from being one of the very best developers in the world, to one of the very worst. After years of buying their games. They have lost my custom for good.

    First and foremost, Hitman isn't a bad game by any means. It looks good, plays well, and is actually quite clever. However, the delivery is absurd. Episodic? Really? What this says to me is that someone pitched an idea of a full Hitman game to Square, and instead of jumping in they decided to dip their toe to test the water.

If they don't believe in their own product, why should I? It is a f@#king CRIME that they will inevitably do this to Final Fantasy 7. A huge game that fit on a original PlayStation disc releases episodically on a PlayStation 4 Blu-Ray disc! I know you are here to find out whether Hitman is good or not, I'm sorry I just had to get that off my chest. Anyway Hitman does have it's moments and in it's defense you could get quite a bit out of one episode by trying an infinite number of ways to complete a mission. That said, with all the FULL AND COMPLETE games out or coming out this game will probably not be worth your time.… Expand

    First of all I don't consider Hitman such a bad game, that I would never play it again. I just think it's kind of a disappointment, especially if you are a fan of the old games. There is so much wrong with this game that it's hard to enjoy the good stuff. I also don't understand the reason/justification for the "one episode every month" business model that they chose/invented, as it forcesFirst of all I don't consider Hitman such a bad game, that I would never play it again.

I also don't understand the reason/justification for the "one episode every month" business model that they chose/invented, as it forces the player to play the level over and over, something that would only appeal to hardcore players. Also another thing which I strangely haven't seen mentioned anywhere else is that you are in Paris or Italy (Episode 2) and nearly no one speaks the countries language. It ruins the whole environment they have build (with the nice graphics etc.) as every dialogue is in English. They didn't even consider foreign accents (the voice actors mostly have heavy British or American accents).… Expand

    A perfectly formed bite of Hitman action, set in a rich location and full of murderous opportunity. [May 2016, p.68]

    Future levels offer better value for money, but this Intro Pack is a confident first chapter containing the ultimate Hitman experience. Scrub Absolution's nightmares - the series is back to its prime. [May 2016, p.84]

    Hitman strips the series back to its satisfying, and winning, formula. A few technical issues aren't enough to ruin a strong start to Agent 47's new episodic campaign. [Issue#268, p.68]
