    A beautifully executed stealth game. [May 2016, p.76]

    This first taste of Hitman's new path offers us one of the best locations in the series, with lots of freedom and many environments to explore. A promising new start, even if the overall story is just barely hinted at; we'll have to wait for the next chapters to see if it's got a great plot too.

    Overall, Hitman shows a lot of promise for the future, but unless the prospect of saving £3.98 right now seems thrilling to you, buying The Full Experience is a bit silly at this point.

    It offers a great stealth action experience and replayability. Hardcore fans can also get plenty of challenges by completing feats and achievements.

    The wait has been long for a new Hitman game, and good as it may be, this one's going to have you waiting even longer for the full experience.

    Hitman tries an interesting balance of stuffing a lot into a little, but doesn’t exactly pull it off with elegance.

    The gameplay itself is engaging and invigorating, perfectly capturing the tone of previous entries in the series. The current package is significantly lacking, but regarding gameplay, Hitman is shaping up to be one of the best games to date. Sadly numerous performance issues hinder the game's potential, but never affect gameplay in a significant way.

    All in all, Hitman is a very promising start to the reboot series.

    Killing hasn’t been this fun since Blood Money. Despite the technical issues, Hitman is off to a promising start to the “season”. The smooth controls, beautiful visuals, and incredibly detailed level design does a solid job in bringing the world’s deadliest assassin to current generation consoles.

    The HITMAN "Intro Pack" tries to squeeze out as much gameplay as it can from a limited amount of content. While it succeeds in doing so, it also has a tendency to become quite repetitive and long loading times have a tendency to hinder the experience. What it does do is create a solid foundation upon which the rest of the content can build.

    This is a solid start for IO, but it still needs to do a lot to convince us that this release model has more worth to the player than the traditional ‘release a finished game’ method we’ve grown to love and appreciate.

    Hitman Intro Pack
    Now there Hitman in episodes. I do not mind that now. Only the Hitman does not offer much to me bothers huge.
    For the 15 € you get already a good scope but you have the mission Paris to play dozens of times. After playing once that is with me actually through already. Very uninspired.
    A big drawback is the long loading times of the game. In addition, the Paris Mission are needed, often lose the that connects to the Xbox One the servers to play.
    A weak Hitman game. The predecessors were all better.

The game requires an online connection and constantly boots you out of the game, while deleting your progress and ruining the game. Who wants an online only single player game? Pure garbage.

Useless pile of junk sold in episodes to make money. No creativity ,no respect for old school hitman fans. I pray other companies like R* ,Ubi dont follow this terrible format of episodic gaming . I have never seen such terrible AI in any hitman game other than this episodic junk. Hell lot of technical glitches. Not even worth pirating. Stay Away. Save your money for Good. Full Review »
