    Not as good as Hitman 1 or 2. Hitman 3 is much more linear, punching you into small maps with obvious stories. Very little reason to replay any map. The second map only has 1 target and then a tedious stupid safe to go open over and over and over again every time you play it.

Hopefully the bond game they’re working on doesn’t suck too.… Expand

    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

    I like the hitman series with many methods for assassins. Many scenarios with interaction stories in different culture maps.

    Okay, i think this is somewhat of a step back from Hitman 2. The maps this time around are not as interactive nor as open ended. There are fewer secrets to find. There aren't enough unique elimination methods in my opinion and the maps don't have enough mission stories. Getting mastery gets a little tedious because by your second or third run of each map, you may have seen all they have toOkay, i think this is somewhat of a step back from Hitman 2.

There aren't enough unique elimination methods in my opinion and the maps don't have enough mission stories. Getting mastery gets a little tedious because by your second or third run of each map, you may have seen all they have to offer. So I believe only one map in this game would be in the discussion for best in the series whereas the previous 2 Hitman games each had 2 or 3.

    But having said that, i treat this game as a vessel from which i can play through all the content of the entire series and not just the Hitman 3 content. From that perspective, i couldn't have made a better value purchase. It is still almost everything i want in a AAA video game. It is still immersive thanks to it presentation and atmosphere. It is still full of content and extremely replayable. It is still satisfying to find new ways of solving elimination problems. It is still a game i can put on at any moment and have a great time playing. I never have any server issues so the need to constantly be online isn't a problem.

    All in all, it's easily one of my favourite games.    … 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... )

    Masterful gameplay loop which requires meticulous planning to reach a brilliant execution. The gameplay mechanics work so well together. When you do finally kill a target, you get a great sense of satisfaction, especially if you've taken the time to plan for the perfect (and dramatic, funny, etc) kill.
    Its replayability is over the roof too. Simply amazing!

    A great game with brilliant design levels. it sticks to the formula of the previous two games but still shines on its own with a neat conclusion to the story. Its so cool to make the kills without even lifting the gun. Lots of ways to kill and plenty of replay value !

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

    The graphics a great, gameplay is pretty solid, my only problem is that it feels too much like the other 2 games in the series. The variety of ways to take out your targets feel almost endless. The story doesn't matter too much to me, but it's an ok story, I have a feeling that the devs wanted to make this game feel a little ridiculous.

    -The story is rather quite... engaging. However, it could be confusing as to who, or what, or why are these people doing these things. All of a sudden you get a mention of a specific character from the previous two Hitman games, but for the life of it, you can't remember what she did that was significant unless you review the story on Wikipedia.
    -Excellent level design, story structure such as solving the murder mystery in the Dartmoor level.
    -Core gunplay is more or less, satisfying. Not the best, but good enough to play both stealth and action packed.

    Not so great things:
    -Only six levels (well, since if you've played the first two, you'd expect there to only be 6 levels, but huge, expansive ones.)
    -Doesn't exactly feel like a sequel with the all the base mechanics of the game going untouched, with the exception of a new gadget known as the camera. But then again, the camera is quite useless.
    -Less mission stories, limiting to sometimes 3 stories per one mission. However, two of the levels in the game don't have mission stories.
    -A bit too much of scripted events in I think two of the levels. You don't really get a say in these events unless you pull out your gun or witness it in dramatic fashion. They'll just happen for you to execute.

    I'm seeing it for sale as 30 dollars for the moment. I think it's adequately priced, given the replayability but I would wait a sale to about 20 dollars.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
