(Copied from my Hitman III review since they're the same game)

If it weren't for the always online bullshit, this would be a 5 star game. While it lacks the attention to detail, atmosphere, music, and great story of Blood Money, it absolutely makes up for it in terms of ease of play, fun factor, and an astronomical amount of content. I really thingk the World of Assassination trilogy is the best Hitman game, alongside its much more interesting, if jankier, predecessor. Really a game of all time.

But again, fuck the always online.

Después de la decepción que fue Absolution y de haber dejado la saga por años por eso mismo, decidí darle una oportunidad a la nueva trilogía, pero con las expectativas bajas debido a lo anterior, aún así los 3 juegos superaron por mucho las expectativas que tenía, llevo muchos años con Blood Money como #1 indiscutible pero sin duda ahora el puesto está entre Hitman II/III, es increíble como es que lograron hacer algo tan bueno y no me arrepiento en nada de darles la oportunidad.
Me faltó mucho contenido ya sea completar los desafíos de todos los mapas o empezar el freelancer por lo que esta reseña solo abarca los mapas de historia.

This game is far from perfect, the story is honestly just bad. I usually have no problem connecting with a badly written story or characters, but no characters in this game are interesting. I could probably spend hours just shitting on the story. I honestly don't think there is a reason to do that since IO never intended for the story to be good, they just needed the gameplay to shine.

And the gameplay is fucking gleaming. I love how everything in the game is so dynamic, deciding what items to bring to a map will completely change how you play. It's hard to explain how fantastic the gameplay is to someone who hasn't played the game, it's just brilliant.

But even though I think the gameplay is great, the maps shine in this game. The most important thing for me when playing games is how well-made the map is. And Hitman never disappoints with its maps. Every map is so incredibly well made that it's hard to believe they aren't real places. Sapienza, Chongqing, and Paris are some of the standouts for me. I have spent hours just running around the maps, picking up different items just fucking around.

Like I said in the beginning the game isn't perfect. The story is a complete wet fart and it makes the targets also feel lackluster. I only remember the targets' names on my favorite maps, Colorado? No idea. Miami? No clue. Mumbai? Never heard of them.

Essa nova trilogia de Hitman é o melhor jogo conforto existente. Selecionar um level qualquer dentre um dos 3 games, e ir descobrir todas as possibilidades de assassinato, se esgueirando entra todas as passagens, salas e locais dos mapas como um RATO, vestindo todos os disfarces, e usando os objetos mais bizarros possíveis como arma é o melhor remédio pro tédio que eu conheço. Eu acho que eu já refiz o level de Paris e Hokkaido do primeiro, que inclusive é o melhor da trilogia, umas 10 vezes de tão BOM e VICIANTE que é. A IO Interactive conseguiu se redimir depois de Hitman Absolution, que não é um jogo ruim, mas deixou a desejar pelo fato de ter ido pra um caminho mais linear e cinematográfico, e aqui eles trouxeram a essência de Blood Money de volta, gameplay deliciosa, level design espetacular, com muita, mas muita liberdade e possibilidades ao jogador. Essencial pra quem gosta de stealth e immersive sim. Não vejo a hora de jogar o novo 007 da IO.

My "comfort" game. This is the one game I can keep coming back to consistently no matter how many hours I've put into it.

This game perfectly blends 2 of my favourite gaming elements (Proper Stealth & Sandbox with emergent gameplay) and does it really well.
There are so many ways you can replay the missions in this game it almost feels unlimited, and now with the addition of freelancer (a new rogue lite mode) this feeling is even more true.

This game perfectly encapsulates that James Bond/John Wick modern high society espionage feeling that very few games do capture.
My only 1 wish with this game is that IOI release an offline patch so you can have progression and freelancer without needing to connect to the internet
