    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.

    As a massive fan of stealth games, this is definitely top-notch. As always, Suit Only Silent Assassin challenges make a return and new levels include lots of brilliant set pieces like we've enjoyed in previous Hitman games

    Great experience overall, the new maps are even bigger than Hitman 1 and 2, the kills are even more dramatic and challenging.

I'm a huge fan of the Hitman franchise which is why I want to hold the Devs of H3 accountable so the next Hitman series actually takes a step forward with gameplay. Also the DLC for H3 is so so SO disappointing. You guys are capable of being so much better than what you heave been recently.… Expand

    Estou muito decepcionado com o fato da produtora virar as costas para o mercado brasileiro, pois os mesmos não tiveram a preocupação de sequer colocar o legenda em português, haja visto que hoje a indústria game tem nos proporcionados localizações de alta qualidade em nosso idioma, e os dois jogos anteriores possuíam legendas pt-br, fica aqui meu descontentamento.

    El juego es entretenido pero creo que hay puntos que mejorar, siento que los graficos no mejoran mucho con respecto al anterior, aparte parece mas un dlc que se prolonga constantemente sobre todo porque el juego no es que dure mucho.

    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

Wie gewohnt kann man alles nach einen Unfall aussehen lassen, sich heimlich bewegen und das Ziel ausschalten oder wild durch die Welten ballern. Dabei trifft man pro Level auf hunderte NPCs. Allein das Level, in einem Untergrund-Techno-Schuppen in Berlin, wo hunderte Leute auf der Tanzfläche stehen und tanzen, atemberaubend. Ich hab mich dazugestellt und einfach minutenlang die geile Mucke gehört und gefühlt.

    In full disclosure this is my first Hitman game. So, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. There’s things I like and things I really don’t like. The graphics are good. The frame rate is always good. The controls are right and tight. It’s fun to figure out how to execute each target. But, I don’t think I’d play it more than once.

Being familiar with these games definitely will help you. It’s a polished game for sure. And I def wish there was a real story. There’s not much of one. It’s all about th3 6 maps and replay ability.

    El juego a nivel visual es impresionante, a nivel historia es paupérrimo, demasiado corto para el precio gigante que tiene, lo que digo, la historia bueno es muy subjetivo a mi no me apasiona demasiado. Le doy un bien.

    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

    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.

The levels are open, feel real and huge like you have 6 different open-world games in one. Gameplay is as smooth as butter and the controls, NPC interaction and stealth mechanics are the best the Stealth Genre has ever seen, and are (mostly) perfected. It's a masterpiece for all player types- the ones who just want to goof around and the ones that'll get the "Silent Assassins" rank in every level. So many ways to travers this game give it endless replayability and I sure was happy I had more to play. Give this game a shot- it's 100% worth it.… Expand

    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.
