The Hitman reboot series (2016-2021) is virtually the same game just chopped into some episodes. So my review for all three is the same. But that's okay. They're all absolutely great. Huge dynamic open maps, near-infinite ways to kill targets. All feel very fun fresh challenging. You can play every map twenty times and still find new things, new methods. It always feels fun too. Never repetitive.
The story is surprisingly tight and coherent for a game that would be just as good with no story altogether. Hitman is a puzzle game at its heart. It's not a loud shoot em up. It requires no shooter skills. It's closer to Among Us or Tetris than it is Call of Duty. A fantastic time and an insane bevy of content. I'll be sad to say goodbye to Agent 47 for quite awhile but I'm looking forward to IOI's take on James Bond in the future.

This review treats Hitman 1-3 as one big 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 think 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.
