    This is IOI best work so far. Amazing levels, beautiful crafted and with tons of funny assassination possibilities.

    I've played through every Hitman game so far and can definitely say that this one is the greatest not only in this trilogy but also the best out of all hitman games. The trilogy couldn't end better. Thank you IO Interactive!

    Brilliance in level design. This is how I would sum it up.
    It's not infinately creative as it first seems to be, but the maps are absolutely stunning in both artistic design and in level design. The AI is dumb but this is a necessity for players to plan their masterclass assassination schemes Unmissable.

    Honestly it's simple with this game. If you liked the other Hitman games, then this is the ultimate game.
    If you don't like Hitman this won't change your mind.

    What an absolute masterpiece from start to finish! Now i havent played hitman since the good old days on ps2 and ps3.

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

    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!

    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.

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

    Fantastic end to a trilogy, thanks IOI Interactive for a another masterpeace in Hitman series. Unfortinately game could be a little longer, I managed to get platinum in 30ish hours. As well as cut-scenes could be better, brought me back to PS3 era with them graphics in cut-scenes.

    Hitman 3 hits the mark, plain and simple. Not only is it the best stealth/assassin sandbox gameplay of the franchise, but it stands among the best of the genre. It’s everything you love and want from a Hitman game with extreme polish, intriguing levels and tons of replay value..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
