(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.

I was expecting something like Hitman Absolution, but it was nothing like that. There's not much of a story either. You're just constantly assassinating people on different maps, but I found the gameplay very slow and confusing. Maybe I'm not in the mood to play this game right now, I don't know.
the moment to moment gameplay feels a lot less involved and rewarding than blood money (although i do appreciate some of the QoL features added) but the sheer amount of levels here and the options within said levels would make this just as good if not better than blood money but they made it always online for no reason.
This is probably my favorite video game trilogy, ever. The gameplay is just so much fun. I remember playing the first game in this trilogy years ago with my cousin, we only had sapienza and paris at that time, yet we could spend whole days messing around and doing different challenges, on only TWO maps. I think the only thing that is disappointing about this trilogy is the story, It is completely uninteresting but it thankfully is very easy to just ignore.
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.
One of the best games i've every played. The detail and realism in this game is quite underrated. Incredibly fun.
