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

    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.

    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.

    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

    I wasn't a sucker and bought the complete edition, because that's what you should do with episodic games.

    I had a ton of fun with this game, and barring some bugs that CAN actually ruin your gameplay (corpse stuck dangling in the air making unlimited noise that attracts everyone around), all the missions and locations felt very unique and different to explore, to the point that I was

    I had a ton of fun with this game, and barring some bugs that CAN actually ruin your gameplay (corpse stuck dangling in the air making unlimited noise that attracts everyone around), all the missions and locations felt very unique and different to explore, to the point that I was both very excited to replay a mission with different settings but also very excited to carry on the story and see what more is there.

    Only disappointment is that there are a handful of items that outclass all the others completely and the locations aren't enough for what was a 60 buck game at the start. The restrictions in online contracts are also very unforgiving, especially when you're timed.

    Though it is the weakest part in the latest trilogy I still rate it 10 out of 10 for making the great fundament which resulted in the greatest stealth, "espionage", puzzle kind of games. Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 are still better but they are better thanks to this "reboot" of the series

    Almost all episodes are fun to play, with a highlight for Paris and the last episode. You can find a lot of ways of killing the npcs while playing.

    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.

    Hitman is undoubtedly one of the best games of the generation. Hitman has stunning locations with gorgeous set pieces along with endless possibilities. Which obviously creates loads of diverse gameplay, and replayability. The Hitman series has always had a great soundtrack, and Hitman 2016 is no different. The voice acting is spot on, and the story is solid as well. Gameplay is smooth,Hitman is undoubtedly one of the best games of the generation.

    Hitman (2016) returned with the best of the series. The game has different ways to eliminate targets, rich, diverse scenarios and a good plot seen through cinematics.

    É bom, mas esperava mais. Apesar de um gráfico absurdo e uma fotografia sensacional, preferi o absolution. O jogo não te da muitas margens para usar armas, e tem muita arma massa no jogo... A hitória também é meio, boba... mal explicada... Basicamente contratos... Não segue muito uma linha.
    Gameplay muito legal, mapa aberto com mil possibilidades. Mas se você curte jogar somente uma vez,

    Este juego (y seguramente sus secuelas) son la experiencia HITMAN definitiva, algo asi como la saga Arkham es para Batman. el juego te da una libertad tremenda a la hora de hacer las misiones de la historia principal y por si fuera poco, te deja crear tus propias misiones y jugar las de la comunidad.

    muy buen titulo y muy recomendable.

    Very nice game. A nice recover for the Hitman series, Square Enix did a really good job on this one, the graphics are very good, the story is very nice, and the gameplay is fun and enjoyable, and the missions are very well designed.

    Hitman 2016 is a game with alot of personality and charm representative of the people at the studio making the game. IO Interactive has had some rough times over the years with Hitman Absolution not being the best it could have been and the drama with Square Enix.

    Hitman 2016 is a game with alot of personality and charm representative of the people at the studio making the game. IO Interactive has had some rough times over the years with Hitman Absolution not being the best it could have been and the drama with Square Enix.
    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.

    Hitman Absolution was an enjoyable enough game but, as fans were quick to point out, it never really felt like a Hitman game.

This follow up, which was originally released as six separate episodes, forgoes the linear structure of Absolution and goes back to the series roots, and each of the six episodes offers a unique playground in which to hunt down and eliminate your targets with multiple solutions always available.

    The game won’t be for everyone as plenty of patience is required throughout, and being spotted in the wrong place or doing the wrong thing essentially results in failing the mission (the long loading time doesn’t help matters in this regard), but for fans of the older Hitman titles or stealth games in general this is a must play.

    Игра, продолжила идеи Blood Money и преумножила их в квадрате. Геймплей превосходен и побуждает игроков к реиграбельности. Для геймеров, не знакомых с культовой серией игр - самое оно для ознакомления. Огромный выбор устранения цели (или целей) поражает воображение.
    Игра однозначно стоит покупки.

    HITMAN is easily the best Hitman game in the series, it makes up for the terrible game that was Absolution. There are endless options in this game, it makes you feel like a hitman like never before. This game is what Absolution should have been.

    Possibly one of the most quintessential stealth games ever created, combining extreme replayability with a creatively designed, living and breathing world, where you can infiltrate, assassinate your targets and leave without ever being spotted. Hitman 2016 expands Hitman: Blood Money with an immense amount of A.I., a globetrotting assassin and numerous disguises you can put 47 in.

    Best: Immense replayability; huge, complex and well-designed levels (a whole Italian town with an underground lab, harbour, church, cannons etc.); lots of player contracts; elusive targets.

    Things I less liked were the absence of the sniper briefcase (but it's returning in Hitman 2!); some dialogue becomes repititive after having completed a level many times ("THAT is Silvio Caruso"; "ROCCO!"), though there is a lot of dialogue between NPC's; the limited 'impact' of several guns (some weapons don't feel powerful enough); also, the fact that that online and offline saves don't carry over could be troublesome for players without good WIFI.

    Simply the most re-playable game I have ever played, it definitely deserves a 10 out of 10, the challenges keep you going , the story isn't the main focus, gameplay is, some people critic the episodic style but it's a good example of how to do an AAA episodic game, of course that the game isn't perfect for example sometimes the AI just makes some stupid things , but the other things inSimply the most re-playable game I have ever played, it definitely deserves a 10 out of 10, the challenges keep you going , the story isn't the main focus, gameplay is, some people critic the episodic style but it's a good example of how to do an AAA episodic game, of course that the game isn't perfect for example sometimes the AI just makes some stupid things , but the other things in this game are really good which makes you ignore the AI.
    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.
    This is my review of HITMAN 2016 , go buy it.

    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.
