    Hitman: World of Assassination Part One – VR Edition from developer Io Interactive is an impressive and immersive VR experience that raises the bar for the Hitman series. It brings good content that will put you in the shoes of Agent 47 in an entirely different way. The only hiccups are some glitches that are wandering around the game, but the core gameplay is solid.

    This is the best VR version of Hitman: World of Assassination, hands down. While it’s not a fully interactive world, the controls are still a bit inconsistent, and there are a few remaining bugs, virtual reality adds a whole new element to the game that makes it all new again and worth the occasional aggravation, even for veteran players. If you’ve ever wanted to really become Agent 47, this is an easy recommendation.

    Hitman World of Assassination: VR Access on PSVR2 is well worth the price of admission for both fans of Hitman and those looking for their next VR fix. The shift from third person to VR is a small change that makes a huge difference to the game’s flow and feel, offering a level of immediacy and immersion not seen in the series before. While the PSVR patch for Hitman 3 was little more than a curio, the generational leap in both graphical fidelity and control offered by the PSVR2 makes it not only a legitimately fun alternative way to play, an already superb collection, but a must-have addition to any PSVR2 library.

    Hitman’s updated VR Access version is everything enthusiasts of Hitman and VR could have asked for. It doesn’t change the DNA of what makes Hitman incredible; it just bolsters out another way to experience the world through Agent 47's eyes.

    This PSVR 2 exclusive rendition of Hitman is an absolute delight, and a prime example of the games the system desperately needs. If you own the PlayStation headset, you won't regret playing this superb VR sandbox.

    After two attempts, IO Interactive has finally succeeded in transforming Hitman World of Assassination into a highly recommended VR experience. In fact, it's one of the best virtual reality games on the market. Unfortunately, it's still a game designed for a flat screen, so there are limitations that prevent it from being a complete VR experience.

    Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy on PS VR2 is a technically polished leap for the series, delivering tactile controls, richly detailed environments, and the sandbox freedom fans expect, yet its reliance on flat‑screen missions and the omission of modes like Freelancer and Contracts dull the sense of discovery; without bespoke VR scenarios, quick‑save support, or fully intuitive transitions, the package feels more like a high‑quality adaptation than a definitive virtual‑reality reimagining—rewarding for veterans eager to revisit classic assassinations from a new vantage, but unlikely to satisfy players seeking an experience conceived from the ground up for VR.
