    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.

    I would like to thank IO Interactive for making this great Hitman trilogy. Very solid game. These haters are just sad people who very likely play amateurish games like cyberpunk 2077.

    Great game! If youre a fan of the hitman franchise then you wont feel let down from this. Playing on ps5 in 4k and 60 fps with the new levels feels like a bliss. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are there and feel like more of a little bonus rather than a fleshed out feature, The game overall has tons of replay value and for 40$ you can get all the levels from hitman 1 and 2 withGreat game!

    Given that this is the third iteration, the first on next-gen, and also the latest in a very long saga of games perhaps I am holding Hitman to higher account than usual. However, this game is great when it really gets going but is massively held back back some painful design decisions and dated gameplay.

However, this game is great when it really gets going but is massively held back back some painful design decisions and dated gameplay.

    Firstly, you should be warned that this game can glitch out and only allow you to play the first level, telling you the remainder need a patch to play. I spent ages troubleshooting this with uninstalling and almost gave up before it finally installed properly. I still don't quite understand this error but it's horrendous to have it still happening a long time after release.

    The graphics I have mixed feelings for. It's not really until the last couple of levels where the game starts to shine as you are in vibrant landscapes that can avail of the PS5's power. The opening level is clearly designed to wow us and it does this well. The second level has a gothic feel to it but the third level I found to have very mundane graphics as you're in dark alleys and laboratories. After this the game picks up and the environment becomes much more enjoyable to explore, but I think previous games did it better. Ultimately, most of the time I couldn't differentiate between Hitman 3 on PS5 and Hitman 2 on PS4.

    The gameplay of Hitman 3 won't require a tutorial if you've played any of the others. The formula is pretty much the same here; navigate through the level to assassinate your target, ideally unnoticed. At it's core I find this the most enjoyable aspect of the game and quite annoying as other missions get in my way, such as finding a case file or any other activity not related to setting up an assassination. I think this is partly my own impatience as there are some very creative options on offer here, such as a murder-mystery in the second level as a means of getting access to your target by helping them identify the murderer.

    As typical for Hitman games, taking your time to explore your options can be quite rewarding although I often found it frustrating as it's not always clear in a step-by-step sense when trying to make someone's death look like an accident etc. One of my biggest irks is likely my own fault; when I'm stealthily attempting a level but get caught part-way through and end up shooting my way out in blazing fashion because I don't want to restart and have to repeat my progress.

    I think my biggest gripe with this whole trilogy of Hitman games is that they have gradually stepped towards the live services model, a model almost universally hated. You can tell this because the menus are incredibly unfriendly to use and want to sell you add-ons and other rubbish. Let's not forget that the game also forces you to be always online or face FOMO by telling you all the things you'll miss such as mission ratings.

    Players may also be rather disappointed to hear there are only six missions in this game. If, like me, you want to hit your target ASAP then it'll be a very short game. Hitman has always been about the replayability of each level and given that a single level can take over an hour, this game could still take you 8+ hours, similar to the latest R&C game.

    Hitman 3 places more emphasis on the story than usual, especially as it draws to a close. I found the final level very enjoyable and seeing 47 and Diana's relationship develop and reach a sense of conclusion was one of the more satisfying aspects of the game. I'm not sure the game does a good job of explaining how each target you kill fits into the bigger picture but knowing you're taking down a shady organisation is enough for me.

    Overall, Hitman 3 closes out the trilogy in a wobbly fashion. I almost didn't even get to experience it thanks to a technical error that could have been avoided. If Hitman games are to continue I'd want to see a bit more coherence and not the live services model that mars what are otherwise very good games. Hitman 3 doesn't break any new ground in terms of gameplay, but your stealth and assassination itches will be very well scratched by the time you reach the end.    … Expand

    Beautiful game that is first AAA game of 2021 and pretty good. Good start for possibly very good year for video games. There's tons of hits coming like Halo Infinite, Resident Evil Village, Far Cry 6 and many more and hopefully they will help forget cyberbug2077.

    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.

    It's almost crazy how much care has went into this hitman trilogy compared to what cyberpunk 2077 was. Night and day difference.

    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.

    Hitman is a game that thrives on replayability. The levels are intricately designed to offer players something new to discover every single time.

    On its own Hitman 3 is great but having the whole library of hitman 1, 2 and 3 all in one place is where the game turns to perfection. An assassination sandbox dream library. So many levels to explore so little time! Happing hunting!    … Expand

But who cares honestly, everyone knows that this game is good, youtube is full of videos praising this game and that's all that matters. All these 0/10's mean absolutely nothing. Great game!

    I'm impressed enough. I mean, let's be real here, Cyberpunk 2077 is now new benchmark for any upcoming video game. And Hitman 3 is very clearly better video game than Cyberpunk 2077, so there's that. It's also good Hitman game overall.

    5 days after launch still can't "fetch profile". Unable to play the game because the devs make a single player game always online. It becomes a problem when your servers don't work at all. Many players with the issue, so far no apology and no timeframe for a fix. It's disgusting. Don't buy this game until this issue has been formally addressed

Bought the game at launch but couldn't play it for 3 days due to IOI's crossover wesbite being down and their servers being unprepared. Had a nightmare of a time trying to bring my progress from Hitman 1 & 2 over to Hitman 3. The servers are still on and off. A single player game shouldn't require an always online internet connection. Also had 6 or so hard crashes where the game would freeze and crash. The HDR is also broken. The game itself is pretty short and not worth full price. They say 6 levels but its really just 5 and a silly little train level that the Reddit crowd have been asking for for years. The 5 main levels are big open worlds with lots to explore and do, however, just like the last 2 games in the series, they still lack that magic of the old Hitman games. It looks pretty, but its not a next gen game. This game looks very much like the last 2 Hitman games did on the older consoles. The story is just silly and very anticlimactic. But then the story has never been a strong point of the Hitman games, its all about the gameplay. Gameplay hasn't changed much at all from the previous 2 games. You now have a pointless camera that you don't even really have to use 99% of the time. Some doors and ladders that you break locks on to give yourself easier access next time you play each level. That's pretty much it. None of he stuff that fans have been asking for years has returned. Stuff like Jesper Kyd, weapon customization, sniper rifle and briefcase animations, human sheild, dual weilding, ability to climb witht he briefcase, more blood splatter, newspapers etc. They still haven't listened to fans on any of that. The levels from Hitman 1 and 2 got an "upgrade" for next gen systems, hoever they seem to be full of bugs that didn't exist before. Sound is broken with audio cutting in and out abruptly, sound missing entirley. I walked into a room full of people and there was no sound at all. They also have visual glitches that weren't there before. For example it was snowing like a black snow inside a building that wasn't there before and had no source or explination other than it was a glitch. Some levels are now totally missing in the next gen versions. The Christmas missions Holiday Hoarders and the Hokkaido Snow Festival. Those have been removed from the game entirley for some strange reason. They were made permanent before. The upgraded versions don't really add much other than audio and visual bugs, broken lighting, some new trees in some levels, and a few reflections on the floor. That's pretty much it. I'd personally stick with the old versions and don't upgrade. Game design isn't that good either. For example, your loadouts are more restricted in Hitman 3. You're forced to start with no weapons or tools and have to wear an outfit that they want you to wear. It doesn't make sense half the time. One nightclub mission it says i can't add a gun to my loadout as i have to enter the club with nothing. Yet 2 seconds later you have to kill an enemy and take his silenced pistol before you get to the nightclub anyway! So why not just let me take what i want as i want. Some levels have less replayability as a result. One Manor level they put an enforcer on the front gate right at the start so you are left with just 2 points of entry, jump over the wall on the left or jump over the wall on the right. Its a pretty washed out looking game too. I've seen a lot of people complaining how washed out this game is across all versions. Even when switching the broken HDR off. The Manor level and end leven in paticular, they have a whited out washed appearence to them. It even makes the black levels of an OLED looked like a washed out cheap IPS LCD TV. If you've played the first 2 in the series and liked them then you will probably like this 3rd and final part in the trilogy. However, if you are a fan of the old games and didn't really much like the new ones, this 3rd installment won't do much to change your mind on the trilogy. I kind of wish i had waited for all 3 parts to be finished before i bought them. That would have been better i feel. But even then i don't think they hold a candle to the old games.… Expand

    How can I give it any score? It's unplayable and won't connect. If I play without connecting I will lose all progress when they fix the servers. An unplayable game is **** useless to me.

    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.
