Hitman 3 Reviews
n an alternate universe, Hitman became one of the best selling series of all time, its influence akin to something like PUBG. In this better world, where the pandemic never even happened, Hitman spawned a genre of its own - the Hitmanlike, where developers put level design and systemic play right at the top of their priority list. Alas, we can’t break through the skin of the world and reach that universe. We’re stuck here. In our world, Hitman stands alone. There’s nothing like it, and Hitman 3 is an outstanding refinement of that unique 21-year-old recipe. Just watch out for that secret ingredient. (It’s poison).
Hitman 3 features some of the most complex and most creative levels in the series history while polishing the gameplay to perfection. Unfortunately, it's held back by some hefty paywalls, uneven mission pacing, and some occasional clunky AI.
Hitman: World of Assassination brings together most of the trilogy's content in a convenient package. While what's excluded and the always online requirements are baffling, the game itself is still a ton of fun with the new Freelancer mode bringing you to locations from all three games. This is a great way to dive in for newcomers, though veterans will be confused as to what's not included and why.
A nice conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Hitman III is "just" more of the same, but that's not a problem when the original material is that good.

Hitman 3 is a good entry in the series. It deliver beautiful levels, such as Dartmoor or Chonqing, new assassination tools and it allows players to import maps from the previous games (with improved graphics), buy still, it´s mechanics and some AI elements feel outdated.

Charting the series' progress since that 2016 Paris debut has been a fascinating journey. IO have learned a lot over the past five years and that really shows in Hitman 3. It's a flashier, more fluid evolution of IO's original template - a rewarding conclusion to one of the most unique video game franchises around, and one we'll continue playing for many weeks and months to come.
A great finale to the World of Assassination trilogy and the perfect time to end the reboot era, as the once revolutionary formula begins to show its age.
Hitman 3 is exactly what fans of the IO Interactive games expect: an open sandbox dream in which thousands of paths lead to Rome or rather to Berlin, Dubai, China, England, Argentina and Romania. On this point, there is simply no second genre representative who leaves so much room for our creativity. The six locations are wonderfully varied and great, but I never got rid of the feeling of playing a story DLC here. After a good five to six hours, that's it.

Hitman 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by adding 6 new beautiful locations and some smaller additions and improvements. On the downside, it lacks any sort of multiplayer mode. Regardless, it's a must-buy for any fan of the series.
Hitman 3 is a satisfying end to the trilogy filled with great mission design but still shows a slow improvement to the franchise

Hitman 3, but generally the whole game trilogy, is an appealing videogaming experience for all lovers of the genre but also for all the other players out there. We are looking at a very high quality standard, a game that is easily a point of reference for the genre, but also an experiment of entertainment divided in chapters that might just work halfway: the risk is the loss of the story’s guiding thread of the trilogy throughout the chapters. The three games seem to create a bigger and longer game which sometimes might feel repetitive in the long run.

Hitman: Freelancer offers an uncommon and enticing combination of difficulty and adaptability. It's, without a doubt, the finest sandbox experience that blends all the best parts of the Hitman series. Despite the lack of multiplayer mode and persistent internet needs, the game is nevertheless fun.
Hitman III is a well-constructed assassination sandbox with incredible maps, deep customisation, and some funky outfits.
Hitman 3 offers enough new elements to stay fresh in the eyes of the veterans of the franchise. If you are a fan of stealth games, this is a very complete experience. You will want to discover all the possible endings that IO Interactive prepared for the players. Despite the aging graphic engine, this title concludes the trilogy on a high note.

To conclude, HITMAN III is a fitting end to the current trilogy and it will be interesting to see where IO take the series moving forwards. With lots to do in this game, plenty of replay value and the chance to create your own missions means it is a solid package.
As with its predecessors, Hitman 3 is the epitome of freedom in gameplay. Its only limitations are the player’s inventiveness and their free time.

Hitman 3 is an absolutely stunning ending to this trilogy, finally delivering a story that, whilst not mind-blowing, did subvert my expectations in the best of ways, all while delivering the same high quality gameplay and level design that fans have come to expect. It may not innovate on the previous titles’ core gameplay, feeling more like an expansion than a new standalone game, but it’s still worth your while, offering plenty of new content to dig into.
When all is said and done, Hitman 3 has a few hiccups, but it’s a stunning finale to the series and a fantastic game to play even if you haven’t played the ones before it. The way the writing of the game lays out past events helps ensure that even if you didn’t beat the last two in the franchise, you’re up to speed with the story so far. Throw in the added elements to get you playing missions multiple times and the more expansive online elements I have not mentioned here and you have a game worthy to pick up on launch day.
Hitman 3 has some issues, like its duration and a little sameness. However, the addition of the first two games to the package added enormous value to the series, making it one of the most interesting titles to play on PlayStation 5.
