Hitman is a stealth game and the sixth mainline entry in the Hitman franchise, serving as the first installment of the World of Assassination trilogy. Players control the genetically engineered assassin Agent 47 from a third-person perspective as he carries out contract killings across large, open-ended sandbox levels set in locations around the globe including Paris, Italy, Morocco, Bangkok, Colorado, and Japan. Each level presents numerous approaches to eliminating targets, from disguises and environmental manipulation to staged accidents and direct confrontation.
The game features a classless system where players unlock new tools, starting locations, and gear by completing challenges. Originally released episodically, the game was later delisted from standalone sale in 2023 when IO Interactive consolidated the trilogy under a single package titled Hitman: World of Assassination.

I want to play this series but I'm thoroughly confused by all the different editions. Some versions of Hitman 3 allow you to play previous games' maps but others don't?
What's the best way of playing this series nowadays?

Read moreI've gotten through the third mission of Hitman and I'm in love with how much creativity the game encourages and how each level is constructed to perfectly suit the feel of the game. You're never exploring through grates or rafters (because that's not how an assassin would do it), you just waltz in with the perfect disguise, kill the target and then walk out after deleting the recordings that you were even there. My favorite moments so far have been: scouting out who had which coffee mug in a break room to poison the Scientist I wanted and then take his Uniform when he went to the bathroom to relieve himself, using a cannon shot to kill a golfer-in training, disguising myself as a political prisoner to kill the fascist general and poisoning the targets food seconds before the getaway. The shooting is there, but it's not the focus and I admire how the game uses its interesting and compelling mechanics to push play towards the most fun and interesting strategies.

Wow. I'm very impressed with the sheer size and complexity of the levels. I've already completed some missions several times in different ways and still have not seen all areas. As a fan of the series from way back, I can't believe it took me so long to play this instalment.

Hitman also has a surprisingly great sense of humour.
I seriously hope we're getting another season/game of this!

I was very hesitant about the episode scheme they brought to this game but I can say one thing.. IO and Square Enix perfected this.

With all the games coming out and the amount on backlog, it's tough to get through it 100% but is definitely something I would pick up again.
