    Hitman GO is fantastic no matter what platform you choose to play it on. Unlike some other games it actually understands what Hitman is about and stays true to that formula while giving us something unique.

    With the addition of so much additional content, and all of the previous DLC packed in, there is no doubt that this version of Hitman: GO truly is the Definitive Edition.

    Hitman GO has made a fantastic transition to consoles. With the added ability to earn trophies and having all of the DLC in one package, there is no doubt that the definitive edition is appropriately named.

    Hitman GO is just as good on PlayStation as it was on iOS and Android, and the updated visuals and amount of content at a great price that the Definitive Edition offers will keep you coming back for more and more.

    A wildly unusual but nevertheless highly accomplished distillation of the Hitman formula into a turn-based puzzler, Hitman GO's mobile origins do little to dull the allure of what is a confident reinvention of its parent franchise.

    Strip out all of the blood and gore from the Hitman franchise and what is left is truly a thinking man’s game. The developers certainly understand what the true charm of the series is and it is highlighted in this puzzle-take on the franchise.

    Hitman Go is a unique take on the long-running Hitman franchise, breaking down the series to its core mechanics and delivering an enjoyable adventure.

    This game is interesting, challenging and about everything you can expect from a puzzle game. The puzzles are genuinely difficult, and for those puzzles too difficult then you can resort to hints.

    Even in this puzzle disguise Agent 47 stays true to his roots, but relies too heavily on trial and error.

    This excellent mobile spin-off delivers a great experience even on PlayStation 4, with good gameplay mechanics a over 90 levels. Definitely a proper definitive edition.

    Fans of trial & error know what to do: get this! It's a fun mobile game with challenging puzzles and an interesting art style, that encourages players to think strategically and plan their moves carefully. Definitely worth your money.

    Even on a home console, this experience conceived for portable devices is fun and compelling.

    Hitman Go is still fresh with its Definitive Edition, a great opportunity for all the people that don’t want to play on mobile or are uncomfortable with touch gameplay or microtransactions.

    A good mix of puzzle and turn-based strategy also recommended to those unfamiliar with the Agent 47. And as they say in these cases: so cheap, so satisfying.

    Excellent port of one of the best mobile games. Slick visuals, brilliant game design and high replayability in the same pack.

    Hitman GO is designed to be a temporary go-to for those times you’re stuck in minor delays, like a doctor’s appointment when you’ve arrived early, not the DMV or anything crazy.

    Either way, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition is well worth the plunge, even at its current asking price. Although the cost has been inflated, you’d be hard-pressed to find a puzzle game of this calibre on PSN or Steam for just over a fiver.

    It would have been an absolute travesty to see one of the highest regarded mobile games in recent memory suffer on the big screen, but Hitman GO: Defintive Edition is a stellar way to play Square Enix Montreal’s debut title.

    While the new Hitman should get greater attention (deservedly so), GO! isn't a bad option for people looking for something more on the strategic side. What it lacks in bloodshed and insightful killing, it makes up for with strong level design and creative challenges to overcome. It's certainly something you could, ahem, kill time with.

    Hitman GO is a unique spin to a franchise and feels like the perfect combination of puzzle and strategy game, especially in quick bursts. I can only handle so much in one sitting, but every time I do play, I find myself sucked in just a little bit more.

    Hitman GO Definitive Edition is an interesting and unique puzzle game with enough variation to keep it entertaining. However it misses a bit of challenge, except for how to deal with the irritating camera standpoint.

    It is undoubtedly a game better suited for mobile devices, but Hitman GO: Definitive Edition is an original and well crafted experience nonetheless.

    It might be a simplified version of Hitman, but it does simple very well.

    A surprisingly successful mobile spin-off becomes an equally enjoyable console download, that twists the key elements of Hitman to its own interesting effect.

    If you’ve already got the game in to-go form, there’s really no reason to opt into its release on consoles; this version is just as fun and cerebral as the mobile experience, but it’s held back a bit by its lack of portability. That’s not to say anything is necessarily lost, but it’s definitely a pick-up-and-play experience that’s better enjoyed on the move — “GO” is in the title for a reason.

    This port's perhaps a little pricey, but with plenty of content and cross-buy on the cards, we'd recommend moving in and pulling the trigger if you've got the appetite for a little assassination.

    A well-designed and enjoyable puzzler. However, control issues, repetitive music and a lack of tactical freedom mean it's unlikely you'd choose to play this over real Hitman on your console.

Anyone can pick this up and start solving the puzzles with reality ease, until the difficulty ramps up. The difficulty never jumps substantially but rather incrementally so you can learn new tactics.

    Very similar to Lara Croft Go, it is literally the same but seen differently, it is entertaining and little else, think a little
