    I will admit I was turned off at first when I heard this was going to be episodic as I had no clue how they would pull it off but now that the first season is out I can safely say that this was one of my favourite games of 2016 with just how well it was done and I now understand that it was made this way so that each location can have so much polish and stuff to do in it that I have beenI will admit I was turned off at first when I heard this was going to be episodic as I had no clue how they would pull it off but now that the first season is out I can safely say that this was one of my favourite games of 2016 with just how well it was done and I now understand that it was made this way so that each location can have so much polish and stuff to do in it that I have been playing this game non stop since all episode came out and I am still finding stuff to this day. The locations are both some of the most beautiful I have seen and some of them have such great design to pull off each assassination in the way you desire. The choices you are given to preform the assassinations you want make this one of the most replayable games I have ever touched and it also made for some of the funniest moments I have experienced when you see all the bizzarethings you can get away with in the missions. I can keep phrasing this game but we be hear for hours so to close I think you need to buy this game if you are a fan of both stealth games and games that let you choose how to reach the objective and with all episode of season one out now there is not a better time to go pick this gem up especially with the announcement that a season 2 is being worked on.… Expand

    This is the second best Hitman game, after Blood Money. The reason it's good is because the developers went back to creating a game in the spirit of Blood Money. Wide open levels with multiples paths and various ways of disposing your targets. The story is just your run of the mill contract killer/espionage type deal. Nothing special but it works.

    The real treat is the exquisite details    This is the second best Hitman game, after Blood Money. The reason it's good is because the developers went back to creating a game in the spirit of Blood Money. Wide open levels with multiples paths and various ways of disposing your targets. The story is just your run of the mill contract killer/espionage type deal. Nothing special but it works.

    The real treat is the exquisite details in the levels themselves. Level design here is exemplary with nuanced, multi-story, multi-area playgrounds. There are some things that are scripted throughout the levels which help you with the hits. I recommend turning off the hints and just figuring it out on your own. The game really holds your hand otherwise and ruins the discovery otherwise. Also, all the levels are very varied and interesting, with each one posing a slightly different challenge due this it's layout and nature. The Colorado level for instance is so wide open compared to the others yet hard to infiltrate due to theme of the level. Don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say really only two levels are similar in structure. The variety here is great and you'll have fun coming up with creative ways to kill people. I nailed one guy with a fireaxe which was very satisfying.

    There are some negatives too. A minor one is there is no freaking sniper suitcase. Wha!!! Come on IO, this is series staple! Bring back now! Lol. The Ai does get a little wonky sometimes too and you'll be scratching your head as to how you got discovered from time to time. The people who can "see" through your disguise sometimes just seem so arbitrary. You can get a military uniform, but the receptionist knows I'm not supposed to be a soldier somehow? Wierd little things like this detract from the game. The game also used to be online only, but after much Ballyhoo by fans, IO updated the game so you can enjoy everything offline as well. As it should be if ask me. Also, gunplay is as bad as you would expect. This was never really supposed to be an option for a game of this nature but shooting controls could be better. These are small things though. Also, there are many challenges to complete which unlock more tools of the trade. Most of these tools seem quite worthless except for very specific challenges, like the exploding rubber ducky. Anyway, IO where is my sniper suitcase!!!

    Overall, this is great return to form for Hitman and I hope they keep going with more episodes.    … Expand

    I was very hesitant about the episode scheme they brought to this game but I can say one thing.. IO and Square Enix perfected this. I honestly think this is how the Hitman series should be moving forward. The replay-ability on this is incredible. With all the games coming out and the amount on backlog, it's tough to get through it 100% but is definitely something I would pick up again.

    This isn't a perfect game, but it is a good return to form for Hitman. I was not a fan of the episodic release and only got it once they were all out, and for a big sale price. It's worth it on sale and it was fun.

The replyabilty in this game is unprecedented with dozens of way to complete and master each mission it is easy to lose yourself and replay the same mission over and over again to totally master it without the fun ever going away.

    Each mission is fundamentally different, from a vast mansion in a quaint small Italian town to a dangerous and mysterious farm in America, each of them feel alive, populated with relatively smart NPCs populating making the places you visit around the world feel real. Although it is clear that some mission are better than others, all of them were fun and rewarding.

    My only complaints about this game is that it feels like Square Enix hired 3 voice actors for the hundreds of NPCs in each mission, so it does break from the immersion when an Arabic sales man has a British accent and the same voice as the soldier next to him. Furthermore the story is simple and heavily diluted with only 2-3 minutes cut scenes after each mission to explain the plot. This felt heavily artificial. However the fact that the story is forgettable and the game is still good, really shows the quality of the gameplay.    … Expand

    Good game, though extremely short, I easily finished it playing a few hours in a weekend. The creators tried to put a lot of stuff in the game to make you replay levels, but I'd rather seen them make a longer campaign. The quality of the levels is uneven, and Sapienza truly shines as on of the best levels I've ever seen in a Hitman game.

I love almost everything about this game and it is the quality that all sandbox stealth-action games should strive to match. There is so much content in this game you could play for weeks just finding new and interesting ways to kill targets, playing contracts made by other people, completing escalations, doing the elusive targets, going for the highest score or just messing around and having a blast. Other than the misstep with Colorado, which felt more like an absolution mission, all of the levels are amazing, filled with endless possibilities to explore and each will keep you coming back.
    The episodic nature put many people off, and I understand why, but I feel it works so amazingly well in this game I am so glad they went with it. It stops players from just rushing through each mission, only doing them once without experimenting or exploring and beating the game day 1, and instead gave us the chance to explore every inch of every map thoroughly, finding all of the hidden ways to kill the targets, or creating our own fun and unique contracts on those maps.
    The assassination are some of the best assassinations in a Hitman game, they are crazy, epic, funny, goofy and the game never takes itself too seriously. It has a story, but the story wasn't much of anything, it was just there to be there, but that's not what this game was about. It was about the fun, amazing ways to complete each mission, and they mastered that.
    And finally the constant throughout year 1 support besides the new maps was insane, and it was ALL FOR FREE (until the GOTY edition.) They kept adding in new escalations to work through, new feats in each mission to give us new ways to complete them, a Christmas event and the AMAZING professional mode. The support for this game was outstanding, the missions were outstanding, the assassinations were outstanding. My best Game of 2016, my favorite stealth game ever made and possibly my favorite game on the current gen consoles. Can't wait for season 2.    … Expand

    The game itself isn't that long , but it's all about going back into that mission , killing your target in a different way, or trying to get silent assassin etc.
    Now the goty edition is released which brings 4 new missions and 44 new challenges, making the game have a total of 700 challenges.

    But IO hit it out of the park with this game as Hitman 2016 is not only one of the best stealth games ever made but also the most visually appealing too with some great stylized UI and cut scenes that look eerily realistic.
    If I had to pick this or MGSV I would choose Hitman anyday surprising seeing as I'm a huge Metal Gear fan but I think it's ultimately because unlike MGSV Hitman sticks to it's core design in being a sandbox stealth game where thousands of possibilities are open to the player to perform the perfect assassination.
    It's hard to express how fantastic the gameplay is but I would urge anyone to try Hitman regardless of if you are a fan of the stealth genre or not, in fact I managed to get my ex girlfriend into the genre by sitting down and letting them go through the entire game one day with no hints or backseating and they enjoyed the hell out of it.    … Expand

It is a stealth game in delightfully interesting and varied settings, populated with hundreds of NPCs going about their daily business in specified routines. There is a "Groundhog's Day" feel to each setting, with clockwork predictability of where particular NPCs will be located at specific time points doing particular routines, and locations of where particular items are located on the map. It is basically a 3D puzzle game in a large, open sandbox, where your costumes and use of different tools and weapons, influence how NPCs react to you, and to the environment. And your actions through the game mechanics can change the routines of NPCs. And this is where Hitman is so fun -- because of the emergent gameplay in how your actions interplay with the environment and behavior of NPCs. Sometimes NPC or environmental behavior is completely predictable and sometimes you find novel surprising results. It is infinitely replayable, using different means of takedown as a hitman to of up to five different targets under particular conditions.

    It is a must-play just because of its great and unique gameplay. But the game has its flaws for instance in the story and it's kind of short. And I don't agree that it has a high replay value. Once you are done with a mission/scenario, despite you can choose a different target, it doesn't seem to be much of a difference. Great graphics by the way.

    Gizlilik elementleri harika oyun oynarken beyninizi geliştiriyorsunuz taktik kuruyorsunuz bölüm dizaynı güzel hikaye idare eder ve yok arası gibi bölümler az ama oyunu sevdim sağlam gizlilik arayanlar bir göz atmalı

    This game is perfect. It's beautiful scenery and level design combined with the game play make this game an incredible experience for all who love a challenge. The amount of ways you could play this game is endless. This game has had me hooked, for hours on end I've played, and i still have nothing bad to say about it.

    super fun missions. love how each level can be approached in a multitude of different ways, all of which feel like a different experience from the last which creates lots of replay ability. strategizing in this game is super fun for those who enjoy that

    Fun and underrated game. Made a lot of good memories during a challenging part of my life playing this game and it was enjoyable enough to allow me to escape and enjoy it's well crafted world.

    Великолепные кат сцены, огромная вариативность в устранении цели, продуманная подготовка, шикарная прогрессия и не плохой саундтрек и оптимизация, всё это о свежем перезапуске серии Hitman старый друг 47-ой смело убивает все свои цели. Прошел все локации и DLC по несколько раз.

    Stealth game molto originale: ci sono poche alternative di questo genere sul mercato (forse nessuna...).
    Grafica buona, giocabilità elevata.
    Game design ispirato con bellissime ambientazioni.
    IA forse un pochino deficitaria, ma tutto sommato livello di sfida interessante e grande varietà di soluzioni per portare a termine le missioni.

    A solid game that allows you really to play how ever you'd like. For example, if you just want to steam roll through the story you can kill anyone who stands in your way. If you want to aim for a more refined Hitman experience you would aim for high scores in levels. Score is based off your work as a ghost meaning how invisible your movement was to all of the bots in the level.

    The stealth, locations, variability are awesome. Definitely one of my favorite games, but the script is just a placeholder.

    All in all, Hitman is exactly what a Hitman game should be. It's not long in the traditional sense, but it's dense and packed with content. The mechanics are a little rough or hand-holdy at times, but that's a minor problem in the overall scheme of things. Whether it's a brutal, close-range assassination or a subtle poisoning, Hitman gives you more options than you know what to do with.

    I wasn't disappointed by this latest installment in the Hitman franchise. Its awesome graphics, varied gameplay, and tons of content will impress. However, the terrible (and sometimes offensive) writing, confusing menus, and inconsistent AI took me out of the experience enough to warrant a less than stellar score than it would otherwise deserve.
