    good game but not the banger of a finale i was hoping for. First of all there is absolutely nothing new added except a 'camera' which you'll use for 10min most. also there are only 6 mission, appalling for a full priced AAA game. Other than that, it's the hitman you know and love.

Expansive levels with huge replayability but smaller than the last games, a good story which has been fleshed out more in this game, and some of the best graphics right now. though there was soo much they could've improved on and added but didn't. AI should've been improved, more items to kill and tamper with stuff etc, so pretty much this is a dlc. for that reason i can't give it anything above 7.5, i expect dlc for the little amount of levels that came.… Expand

    This HITMAN has some of the best levels of the new franchise. Berlin, Dartmoore and Mendoza each do really cool and interesting things with the Hitman formula.

(director commentary & escalation missions) and rather feels like it was plucked from the full experience.

    (oh and having an "always online" game in 2021 is absolutely **** Especially when the servers constantly disconnect for brief periods of time.)    … Expand

    I generally dislike stealth games; I find them very boring. But Hitman's style of sandbox puzzle-solving, putting on disguises and impersonating characters adds so much depth to the genre.

    Imagine playing a puzzle game where the puzzles were already solved for you, and all you had to do was robotically follow a series of neatly telegraphed steps, thus depriving the player from any sense of agency and accomplishment he might have had - should his wits and ingenuity had been actually solicited.

    The fundamental problem with this game is that the way the game wants to be played also happen to be the least interesting and boring way to play it - that is by staying silent and follow the telegraphed steps.

    In other words the core design of the game is at odds with its core ambition, which is to have the player become the architect of his own assassinations by strictly relying on his wits, observation skills, and mastery of the game mechanics.

    This is a shame because the audio-visual presentation is great and the environments are as immersive as they get.

    I think the developer needs to rethink the formula at its core by embracing a more systemic approach which will give rise to a more spontaneous, satisfying, and ultimately meaningful gameplay experience.    … Expand

    Terrible server issues and progress reset in an always online single player game. Only 3 story missions per level at most, with two levels not having any at all. Really low effort release compared to the first two games.

    As someone who considers hitman 1 and 2 some of the best games ever made, unfortunately I don't think that's the case with this game. Its still a very good game but has some ideas that don't work with the hitman formula, primarily the berlin and final level.

Its still a very good game but has some ideas that don't work with the hitman formula, primarily the berlin and final level. This is the game where franchise fatigue sets in and im glad its the final one. Its still worth buying and still has quite a bit of content but it only has 1/4th of the content of the previous games. Levels are bigger and more open but feel more restrictive since they have less things to do in them. There is also less than half of the mission stories of the first 2. Its less replayable and levels feel connected in a bad way, it feels more like 1 more linear and focused experience than 6 separate locations with a lot of things to do like 1 and 2. However, credit where credit is due, its still a fun and engaging game throughout and makes you feel like a badass. Furthermore the compression here is great and manages to fit all 3 games in just 60gb, they also improved and polished the mechanics a bit more In this entry making them even better than they were in hitman 2. Its not a must play but its definitely worth your time.… Expand

    A solid stealth game but, unfortunately, not original.
    It's, basically, a copy and paste work from the previous Hitman 2 of the 2018.
    Sure, the gameplay is always solid, but every action feels repetitive and nothing of what happened feel like a true step on something that wasn't the same missions.
    (but with different areas... )

    Hitman 3 is a worthy end to a fantastic trilogy which does justice to this legendary franchise. Its willingness to put the power into the gamer's hand gives a sense of freedom which few other games can rival. A must-buy for fans of the stealth genre.

    IO Interactive closed the Hitman trilogy with a flourish. A title that polishes its formula to levels never before reached and presents the best level design of the franchise.

    An efficient (i.e. — boring) playthrough of Hitman 3 could probably be finished in a few hours for players who know what they’re doing, so the fact that I’ve spent more than 30 hours in six maps trying to master each one says everything about how much I love this series. However, despite how much I love Hitman as a whole, I can’t deny that the middling innovations and repeat rewards are starting to make 47’s adventures feel slightly stale.
