    I will preface this with saying I think I lucked into getting as best an experience from this game as possible since I managed to get it discounted in a sale for the entire first season plus all the bonus stuff as well as me getting it once every episode was out and whatever bugs the game had were mostly fixed.

    The Hitman series (And in all honestly stealth based games of any sort) were never my thing but I have fallen in love with Hitman. The game controls beautifully, it's responsive and nuanced without tipping into the point of becoming over complicated. The in game graphics do great justice to the maps created, another huge bonus point for me as I was pleasantly surprised by just how big and detailed each of the maps were. I've seen people complain about them being contrived and simplified but with what feels like hundreds of random NPCs and a multitude of mission significant characters (targets, guards, various staffs etc.) it makes each environment feel alive and organic.The story (at least what I've played of it thus far) is interesting and engaging and I was all caught up on the significance of the events portrayed just through some light reading and questions to a friend who is an avid Hitman fan.

    My biggest plus of the whole thing is I think it really nails the freedom to experiment in the game. I understand that this is an integral feature of the Hitman series but this game seems to really come on leaps and bounds with it. Too many games spoon feed you information and hold your hand from start to finish but at worst this game leads you to an easy path to completion through some minimal exploring that in the end will not result in the most satisfying of assassinations. At best it will drop you in the middle of a map with little more than your targets names and let you run with it and I adore that. I am only part way through the story but have found myself repeatedly returning to the same few levels to try different methods time and again or even just trying to correct mistakes I made in previous runs.

    With the live contracts and the variation it creates in the maps I can see myself having endless fun with this game. The assassination of the two burglars from Home Alone that went live recently not only entertained me on gimmick alone but in pursuing different targets that behave wildly different from the primary targets on the same level I stumbled upon details that allowed me to open up different paths or approaches upon replaying the original level.

    As I said I feel like with my lack of prior experience of Hitman games, the reduced cost of the game and my purchasing it at the time of it being fully released and mostly fixed I have lucked into the optimal experience of this game but I do not at all feel like that diminishes the experience at all. This game has turned me into someone who will be looking to play through as much of the previous installments as possible as well as eagerly awaiting what comes next from the series.    … Expand

    I played ALL Hitman games beginning w/ the first installment back in 2000. Back then gameplay was groundbraking as each missión could be completed many different ways leaving much room for creativity. By far absolution was the worst installment of the franchise. This game and all episodes so far brings back my best memories of Hitman Codename 47 and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

This game and all episodes so far brings back my best memories of Hitman Codename 47 and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. The second installment Hitman 2: SA was never beaten by any Hitman franchise releses so far yet still, this is a VERY decent game excellen graphics, good gameplay control System is accurate and never failed so far, NPC's are smart and act in a very logical way.
    Storyline could have been better and as I said: the atmosphere nears but does not reach H": SA levels.

    All in all Hitman (2016) was very well worth the bucks. Replay value: high.    … Expand

    It's one of the best games i ever played. There are many spectacular ways to kill the targets, but you can also make your own plan, stealth and kill them breaking their necks, which is more satysfying then follow the possibilities (you can also turn them off and find them by yourself).

The game is very original, becouse teir aren't many games that let you pretend you were just a civilist or anyone else if you have his cloths and kill very importent people completing seemingly impossible missions without anybody notice it and let you thing you are the smartest person inthe location.… Expand

    I had rough time starting the game because I only knew the linear gameplay from Absolution, and way expecting something along those lines. But after forcing myself through Paris I fell in love with this game, finishing all missions with 20/20 mastery, 100% challenges and Silent Assassin Suit Only + Sniper Assassin.

    Hitman is a amazing game for anyone who likes stealth the one problem is you have to be online to play a single player game but its just a little inconvenience.

    I feel like it was good, i barely remember it. Probably because all the most recent hitman games are so similar. Just different levels. Not saying that's a bad thing. I'd probably copy and paste this review for the newer titles as well.

    Hitman plays like a cross between Blood Money and Absolution. The huge levels allows for players to explore and discover many ways to kill their target.

Outside of the campaign, you can select an assignment from "Escalation" contracts which has specific parameters. After you complete it, the level's difficulty is increases by adding an extra objective. You're rewarded with a special weapon and outfit if you finish all of the variations. In addition, "Elusive Targets" are time-limited events that omits the ability to save your progress. If you fail, the mission is over and you're not given another chance to try again. Finally, the online "Contracts" mode from Absolution returns which allows you choose create missions and choose any created by the community. Overall, you can spend 100 hours on this Hitman reboot. Initially, it was released in episodic form and the game can only be played with an online connection if you want all the features. While not perfect, Hitman will please longtime fans of the series. I would rate this with an 8.5 out of 10.… Expand

Очередной перезапуск серии World of Assassination и первую его часть 2016 года, которую к слову мы еще на компе с женой осваивали, было принято решение пройти снова с учетом конечно же наличия невиданного для нас ранее допконтента в виде 4х бонусных миссий «Нулевой пациент» в рамках издания «Игра года». Кажется это было весьма удачное решение с нашей стороны. Дело не столько в этих четырех доселе нехоженных уровнях, которые к слову сделаны больше для галочки и имеют весьма сомнительную ценность, сколько в том, что в кои-то веки решили мы с моей Ксюнечкой сыграть в Hitman правильно. Да конечно датчане из IO Interactive дают практически безграничные возможности для устранения цели, но ты поди со своей извращенной фантазией да шмякни супостата так, чтобы ни одна живая душа не приметила — очень непросто это, ибо как правило маршрут нашей цели всегда проходит через места людные, в некоторых случаях с сопровождающей охраной. Нет конечно можно пойти по пути наименьшего сопротивления и вычислить место где наша главная жертва находится только с охраной или не в самом людном месте и прибить их двоих-троих, но разве так бы сделал 47-ой? Однозначно нет! Потому игра и дает нам с десяток различных возможностей дабы устранить цель, оставив ее путем этих самых хитростей тет-а-тет с лысым извергом, либо обставив смерть искомого обреченного как несчастный случай — это вот прямо моё самое любимое. В меню нам дают подсказку где должны произойти эти непредсказуемые вспомогательные обстоятельства, но к счастью это лишь часть дела и в процессе нам предстоит тоже пошевелить мозгами и оперативно обратить сложившуюся ситуацию в свою пользу и это не обязательно может быть убийство цели, вероятно это даст лишь возможность получить необходимую маскировку или занять место человека, который сможет спокойно приблизиться к жертве. Порадовало, что все эти ситауции как правило имеют свою оригинальную историю, благодаря чему каждый раз необходимо гибко реагировать на происходящее. Тренировочный бункер в Гренландии, Париж, Сапиенца, Марракеш, Бангкок, Колорадо и Хоккайдо — казалось бы не так уж и много локаций, но каждая из них весьма обширна с отлично прорисованным колоритным живым антуражем. Многочисленные неписи вокруг словно настоящие люди, даже нечаянное столкновение с ними может повлечь за собой неприятности, а уж наблюдательные сволочи какие, так просто труп не протащишь мимо, или ядом напиток не заболтаешь сразу начинают панику поднимать. Однозначно, Hitman зайдет далеко не каждому, но уж если зацепит, то не отпустит уже никогда.… Expand
