    Don't bother with this. 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. I wish I could get a refund.

    so you basically pay 15 dollar for 2 training missions that are 15 min each , and just one full mission that is decent and huge ofcourse , but wasn't that the point of a hitman games ?!! i played hitman since hitman 1 on pc and as a hitman fan , im saying upfront , its really gross way of ruining a franchise with **** selling strategies . and so what ?! after a year or so we will get 6 ofso you basically pay 15 dollar for 2 training missions that are 15 min each , and just one full mission that is decent and huge ofcourse , but wasn't that the point of a hitman games ?!! i played hitman since hitman 1 on pc and as a hitman fan , im saying upfront , its really gross way of ruining a franchise with **** selling strategies . and so what ?! after a year or so we will get 6 of these so called repayable maps (that was basically called missions back in hitman blood money)... is that even called a AAA game ? 6 or 7 missions ?! wasn't there 13 of these in blood money and around 20 in absolution ?!! if a company needs money and help to finish his bestseller ip , its better leave the franchise than to turn to these shady selling strategies
    by the way i payed 10 dollar for heart of stone (a dlc for witcher 3 from Poland) and it had nearly 6x content than this so called repayable hitman mission.
    so sad and disappointing seeing my beloved franchises turning in this thing

    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

    A weak Hitman game. The predecessors were all better.

    A complete Fiasco. 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.

    Seriously I don't understand why that game have so good ratings. It may be better than some last Hitman games. But people who actually want play whole game, the new business model is HORRIBLE! There is no many new games out that once you have played introduction part, you may probably do not have time to return to that game. If you are one who always buy and play new DLC's then HITMAN newSeriously I don't understand why that game have so good ratings. It may be better than some last Hitman games.

If you are one who always buy and play new DLC's then HITMAN new business model is for you. If you are one who playing game and then forgets it and never buy DLC's and play them, then HITMAN is not for you.

    Also, HITMAN wants you be always online. But worst part is that sometimes (very often) there is problems with servers, and you are forced to play OFFLINE. It's not a bad thing if you can contionue your play online later. But that's the problem, HITMAN online and offline save games are not compatible.

    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.

    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.

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