    A fantastic finale to the trilogy! Solid 60FPS, improved graphics, and a wonderful set of new maps to murder on. One of the biggest improvements is the load times, loading into a new mission in under 10 seconds is insane and adds so much to to experience. And importing Hitman 1 and 2 maps in, bringing all the new features to the old maps is the icing on top.

    Отличное продолжение и завершение истории 47. Игра очень приветлива к новым игрокам, подсказки настолько просты, что не поймет разве что совсем глупый человек. Каждый уровень — словно отдельная игра, реиграбельность как всегда крайне высокая. Конечно революции не случилось, да оно и не нужно, было бы уже не то, хотя изменений хотелось бы.Отличное продолжение и завершение истории 47.

    Had a slight issue with the IOI cary over, but that doesn't affect the gameplay. As someone who had played every Hitman title since 2000, its nice to see this trilogy come to end while keeping replayability with 1 & 2's integration.

    The story was great as was the gameplay and graphics. They changes the way you approach the missions, and for the better. Now there's no "fat" in missions, like previous titles. Every area has a purpose. The ending mission was a nice change from the usually format and felt very suspenseful. I really enjoyed this game and it's difficultly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hitman 3 requires always-on connection this freezes the game

    I'm a massive fan of Hitman, I have played since Codename 47 on the pc back in 2000, Not only is it an incredible stealth series, but the level design is memorable, gameplay fun, and plot mindblowing.

    I've replayed every entry of the Hitman series and was always sad that codename 47 was never ported to console seeing as it's the one with the best plot.

    When I learned about Hitman getting a reboot on Ps4 I was nervous but hopeful. Absolution was a disappointing entry in the series and a poor game in general, ditching everything that made Hitman great, from open-world levels to losing music composer synonymous with the series (Jesper Kyd).

    So onto Hitman 3, what do I think?
    Firstly, the level design and gameplay is fantastic (as it was on Hitman 2016 + 2). They really captured everything about what made hitman fun and challenging and managed to replicate it.
    I understand why they move hitman into an episodic release format. Each level is huge and can be played for hours upon hours, unlocking different stories and techniques, finding and solving challenges, and also allowing the developers to get the game out faster as they only need to complete one level at a time. Pretty clever.
    What I find less clever is that you need to buy the game, the levels separately, the next game (hitman 2) all of its levels separately, the next game (hitman 3), and all of its levels separately.
    So incredibly greedy.

    They should've just sold the levels individually (or as season passes) and had a single Hitman game that updated every 2 years, rather than selling new games that replace the old games and encompass all the levels of the trilogy. I can't see any reason to do this except for greed. This greed is currently biting them in the ass on Steam (pc) and getting them mass bad ratings, and I can't see how anyone views this cash grab technique as anything but pathetic.

    In Hitman, they kept the "Instinct" button which I hated in Absolution, which gave 47 superhero powers, to see through walls, and transform into a chameleon hiding from everybody, but nerfed it a little. So it's less of a superpower, it still lets you see outlines through walls, but you can't use it to walk past "enforcers" (enemies that see-through disguises) instead you need to be stealthy or change disguise. I feel this is a better use of it, and you no longer have power bars that deplete, so it's more of a map replacement assistant than anything. It's further nerfed on first plays of levels as it doesn't highlight targets, and only does so when you've completed the levels and have unlocked new starting locations. Very sensible.

    Onto the plot. The plot of the Hitman series is very dear to me. Codename 47 and Silent Assassin have some of the best plots in any video games ever. I've replayed the games dozens of times, and de to Codename 47 never getting a console release it means it's a challenge to play again. One upon a time it was "remade" of sorts, under Hitman Contracts, however, Contracts ripped out the plot which kinda of defeats the point.
    When I found out Hitman 2016 was going to be a reboot of the series, I hoped dearly that they'd redo the Codename 4 plot but with better cinematics and graphics.
    Alas this wasn't the case. Hitman 2016 has a terrible plot. I was incredibly bored playing it, and funnily as the game was released in fragments (level by level) the plot was so boring that I' completely forget what was meant to be going on by the time the next level was released. Hitman 3's plot is actually more interesting than Hitman 2016's, but even still, somewhat forgettable. The one plus is they finall anmted the cinematics! In Hitman 1+2 the cinematics were told in a freeze-frame style format, which is like a poor man's version of a comic book strip just without the dialog text. In Hitman 3 the cutscenes were glorious, just wish the plot was a little better.
    The series being a reboot yet ignoring all the incredible plot from the original trilogy makes zero sense. But none of the backstory of Agent 47 exists in this game. Not once is it mentioned why 47 has a barcode on the back of his head. Not once is it mentioned that he's a clone, or why. He's just some bald orphan that happens to have a barcode tattoo. Umm, k?

    My long-term dream of an HD console reboot of Codename 47 is shattered, the best story in the entire series never made it on console, not even as a remake/reboot, and instead, we get this boring mess of stationary 3d models.

    I can't help but feel that they made the story terrible on purpose just to make the levels more episodic and standalone. You can play them out of order and it really doesn't matter as you're not really missing anything.

    Anyway, regardless of the terrible plot, the game is very fun to play and the levels warrant hours or repeated plays.

    I still miss Jesper Kyd's music. Although there are some great tracks in the berlin level.    … Expand

Now i havent played hitman since the good old days on ps2 and ps3. But after seeing the third on sale and by the fact that im a assassins creed fan i could gladly say that im less of an assasins creed fan and more of a hitman fan. Which this series has been pretty understated and sadly didnt get the attention it deserves as being the true action assassination, espionage game. To explain the series, imagine what if metal gear and assassins greed had blend? This game is what defines it! A true espionage and action game like ever before. And now whats great about hitman 3 is that if you have all the previous games they automatically get enhanced and updated to the ps5 and hitmans 3 updated engine, which delivers some improvements but most notably the 4K 60fps gameplay which is smooth as butter on a warm bread. And makes the game environment look absolutely beautiful!
    Now because i have got hooked, and invested i also bought the previous games with all its dlc including the remasters of the old legends just because i want to support the developers as much as i can and show them appreciation for what such a phenomenal game they managed to achieve! Story wise its pretty your classic spy cia kind of action movie that you already saw, but the downside to all this, is that the cutscenes are pre rendered and lower resolution even on the ps5 so they look cheap. They really need to implement real time cutscenes, tho io interactive aint a major AAA publisher and studio, so i could be ok with that, but aren’t pre rendered cutscenes a thing of the past? Other than that and I forgot to mention that i went ahead and played the entire trilogy before the review, with ofcourse the updated hitman 3 improvements. So to conclude the story, its fine but not anything you would get invested into pretty much.
    Gameplay wise, now this is the big part! Remember when i spoke about assassins creed and metal gear blending in together? And adding new ideas to improve the action and espionage as a whole? Then this is what you get! Every level feeling extremely detailed and actually realistic! Most if not all of the places in the game are actually real life locations. And the devs went in completely out of their way by imagining like a secret base underneath a garage, house, restaurant kinda like the stuff you see in men in black. And its so well done here, making each level to be explored as if it is its own open world. Filled with life and detail like no other video game out there. And to add on top of that, the levels are extremely re playable making you always think of different ways to approach and kill your targets, its absolutely awesome! And the levels are so well done I honestly got really invested into the game. Overall this review is getting long but you get the point lol i have become a fan boy of hitman. Yes a fan boy! And I honestly cant wait to see whats next for the series! I still have plenty to do in the game. There are elusive targets and community updates and seasons, challenges, community targets and custom missions and sniper challenges as well as DLC and side contracts. Its just a boat load of content and stuff to do! You truly get your money’s worth here. And thats why you should support the devs and buy this game. Honestly just go and buy it right now! Stop reading this review! You would have such an amazing time with this game i can assure you!    … Expand

    I recently played all 3 Hitman games with the recent world of assassination update and I must say, they’re amazing. So open to how you go about missions, good story, good gameplay, just overall great

    So finally, all games played in one row, pretty awesome. I like the story, I like the missions, I like the ideas, I like the maps, great game with a nice solid ending (more to come?) Really great series which I enjoyed. Played with all help tools off made it even better when you really had to think what you should do next to reach your target.

    Unique gaming experience. Im also reviewing Hitman 1 & 2 since I got them for my ps4 but never got around playing them. When I heard that you could launch both campaings & DLCs from hitman 3 I played all 3 campaings on my PS5 at 4K 60FPS and its a marvel.

    The game is really well done with all the new maps and different ways you can approach the missions. After 2 amazing Hitman games, I didn't think the developers had enough in the tank to make Hitman 3 better than the others and boy was I wrong. It was quite the opposite in fact, it is the best in the series because the maps are the best.

    The story was really great and I didn't expect to actually have cutscenes and making it good at the same time since the first 2 games story was underwhelming. But honestly nobody plays Hitman for the story.

    The gameplay is pretty much the same, but still amazing and fun as ever with their ragdoll effects and unpredictably funny A.I. The implementation of the camera is cool but somewhat unnecessary because it is always in your inventory and can fill up an unwanted spot. The shortcuts are really creative and I wish they had put that in sooner in Hitman 1.

    I gave Hitman 3 a score of 9 because I feel like they wasted a map spot with the last one. Don't get me wrong, I like the last map and I think it's a nice change of pace, but it's too repetitive as you're only going for one thing every time you play it. In my opinion, the developers should've put the same amount of maps as the first two games into Hitman 3, and add the last map as an extra bonus map for the finale.

    In conclusion, it is a must-play game for anybody that likes stealth games.    … Expand

    I always loved hitman games since the original on PC, this game is great and it's fun how you complete every stage so many ways.
    The graphics is great and gameplay is always fun.
    It would have been cool if we can get all 3 games into one. The only downside for me is that you have to be online all the time to earn points and rewards.

    What can I say? Hitman 3 represents the culmination of the continual improvement and refinement of the franchise since the 2016 reboot, Hitman 1.

Hitman 3 represents the culmination of the continual improvement and refinement of the franchise since the 2016 reboot, Hitman 1. In a time where developers produce the same old generic games with a graphical upgrade, the Hitman franchise stands out for being truly unique and innovative. Each location provides a sandbox of creative opportunities to assassinate the target. Will you employ subterfuge, donning a disguise to get close to the target and poisoning their drink, will you orchestrate an accident, sabotaging an electrical item which results in a sizzling death or will you kill them in cold blood, a single shot to the head with a silenced pistol? The opportunities are endless, there are no restrictions. As for the locations themselves, each are essentially mini open worlds. Instead of the typical generic huge open world maps which are always a mile wide and a centimetre deep, these locations, while smaller in area, have significant depth. No room or building is out of bounds. The locations also feel alive with good ai and large npc density. Graphics are top notch on the ps5 and the output is 4K at 60fps. In terms of a score, I will award the game 10 out of 10. This is a game for gamers which has clearly been developed by a passionate development team. I hope Hitman 4 is not too far away… Expand

    Excellent game! The depth and "custom" ways to complete various missions is a mix of fun, challenging and exciting. I had a lot of fun playing. However, I will say that I wish the base story within the game was longer. I beat the main story in a matter of a few cumulative hours.

    Even better than Hitman 1 & 2. Thanks IO!
    The best game on PS5 so far.

    Pros:
    - Great long time game support
    - Best levels so far
    - Great replayability
    - So much freedom!
    - Backwards compatibility with the whole trilogy

    Cons:
    - The train level (Romania) is just linear
    - I personally don't like the underground section in the China level, since it's very annoying when doing suit only.

    While Hitman 3 doesn't bring new improvements in terms of gameplay, it has been refined over the course of the past 2 games to bring the smoothest and most responsive gameplay in the series to date. This of course coupled with over 20 excellent, large sandbox locations to createyour own experience

    As the third and final game in the Hitman trilogy, it is one of the most beautiful PS5 games I’ve seen during the PlayStation 5’s first year with a great story, beautiful graphics, the stealth mechanics are improved from Hitman 2 and overall, Hitman 3 is a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy and a fantastic game for PlayStation 5 in general.

    This is how you end a trilogy. If you love this murderous series, you simply cannot miss its latest instalment. The campaign is a bit barebones, though, and a pause might be the best thing for the whole franchise.

    Hitman 3 is about the highest bar IO Interactive could set with the franchise. This is a universe the developer has lovingly crafted over the years and a perfect opportunity to let Agent 47 rest awhile. Hitman‘s laughable dark humor is here in spades, as the community devises weird challenges for each other that were never part of IO Interactive’s original plan. There are flaws–one’s that haven’t changed since 2016–but they are merely quirks that fans have embraced and come to terms with. As Escalations, Contracts, and new content trickles out over the months to come, Hitman 3 will continue to delight in its murderous, unique intent. Though 47 will eventually be traded for 007, it would be foolish to not recognize IO Interactive as an accomplished developer, responsible for an incredible game.
